Isolation is also a key theme. The 'dark stranger' is usually isolated from society either by choice or because of their nature. For example, in 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', Mr. Hyde is an outcast. He exists on the fringes of society due to his dark and immoral actions. This isolation can lead to a sense of otherness and further fuel the dark nature of the character.
Well, 'The Little Stranger' is not based on a true story. It's a product of the author's creativity and storytelling skills, weaving a fictional narrative for readers to enjoy.
'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley also fits the bill. The creature created by Victor Frankenstein is a dark and strange being. It's a novel full of moral and ethical questions, as this 'stranger' created through scientific means is rejected by society and turns into a vengeful and tragic figure.
There's the doctor, who is a key character as he is the one who has a connection to the mansion from his childhood and is now involved again. Then there are the family members in the mansion. There's probably a mother figure, a father figure and maybe some children. Each of them has their own personality and role in the story. They interact with the doctor in different ways and are part of the mystery and the class - related drama that unfolds in the story.
Well, in 'the little stranger story', the plot focuses on a physician. He goes back to this old, falling - apart manor. He has memories from his childhood visits there. As time passes in the story, there are odd occurrences in the house. There's also a lot about the social differences between him, who is from a more middle - class background, and the upper - class family in the mansion. These class differences play a big part in how the story unfolds and how the characters interact with each other.
One main theme is decay. The decay of the big house represents the decline of the old aristocratic way of life. Another theme is class struggle. We can see how the different classes interact and the tensions between them.
There were many more classic works that could be used as reference for a little scary and dark anime:
1. Blade of Ghost Destruction
2 Death Note
3. Cruise of Horrors
4. The Attacking Giant
5 Ghost Blade
6 Black Deacon
[Gate of the Fate Stone]
Brother Corpse
9 " Humanoid Computer Angel Heart "
[Destiny Stone Gate 0]
The above is just a part of the hope to provide some inspiration.
