What are the key characteristics of Gothic fiction in literary terms?

Well, Gothic fiction in literary terms has quite a few distinct features. For one, the architecture in the stories is very important. Old, crumbling mansions and castles are typical settings. These places are full of hidden passages and locked rooms, which symbolize the hidden secrets in the story. Another aspect is the emotional state of the characters. There is a lot of fear, melancholy, and a sense of being trapped. The use of the sublime - that feeling of a mixture of awe and terror - is also prevalent. For example, in 'Dracula', the Count is both terrifying and awe - inspiring, and the Transylvanian setting is both beautiful and menacing at the same time.

Well, when it comes to literary terms in fiction, 'point of view' is a key one. It can be first - person (where the narrator is a character in the story, like 'I'), second - person (less common, using 'you'), or third - person (either limited or omniscient). In third - person limited, the narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of one character, while in omniscient, the narrator knows everything about all characters. Also, 'theme' is vital. It's the underlying message or idea in the story. For instance, in 'The Great Gatsby', themes of love, wealth, and the American Dream are explored.

It usually has an exposition where the characters and setting are introduced, a rising action with events building up tension, a climax which is the high point of the story in terms of drama or conflict, a falling action, and a resolution. Also, 'theme' is important. It's the central idea or message of the story. In 'To Kill a Mockingbird', themes of racism and justice are prominent.

Many modern genres can trace their roots back to pulp fiction, like the noir genre which often has elements of mystery, danger, and a morally ambiguous world, similar to what was seen in a lot of pulp detective stories.
