  • 821.111.09-312.9 Lewis MG GOTHIC ELEMENTS in CONTEMPORARY DETECTIVE STORY
    UDK 821.111.09-312.4 Walters M.:821.111.09-312.9 Lewis M. G. GOTHIC ELEMENTS IN CONTEMPORARY DETECTIVE STORY: MATTHEW GREGORY LEWIS AND MINETTE WALTERS COMPARED Vesna Marinko Abstract One of the most shocking Gothic novels was written by Matthew Gregory Lewis in 1796. His Gothic novel The Monk contains all the typical Gothic elements such as a ruined castle, aggressive villain, women in distress, the atmosphere of terror and horror and a lot more. This article analyses and compares to what extent the Gothic elements of the late J8lh century survived in the contemporary detec­ tiJ'e _!itQry The keHouse {1993) written by Minette Walters and how these elements have changed. Today the detective story is very popular with readers searching for mystery, sus­ pense and thrill because "it often begins with an unsolved crime of some sort" (Rzepka 2005: 9). The readers are challenged by the fact that nobody knows whodunit and they are sure they will beat the detective of the story and find the 'doer' before the detective does. But many fans are unaware of the fact that the origins of the detective story come from the late 18th century Gothic world of horror and terror. The Gothic period started before the first Gothic novel appeared in 1764 when Horace Walpole wrote The Castle of Otranto and coincided with the period of Ro­ manticism which started in the late 18th century (Frank 1987: xix). The Monk was not one of the first Gothic novels but definitely one of the most shocking ones because it was "inverted, parodied, or exaggerated the features it cannibalized" (Miles 2002: 53).
