Week One: Frankenstein

While reading Frankenstein I continuously thought of how there were a lot  of modern day versions and spinoffs of the story, I was amazed how this story could continues to resonate with society for such a long time. Specifically I thought of Tim burtons movie, Frankinween, but I believe the Frankenstein story has stayed relevant be cause of its Gothic structure.

 I believe that in today's culture Gothic can be perceived as exaggerated. There are many different  mediums in witch the gothic appears, including illustrations , books, and even T.V.

It is extremely prevalent in todays society, spicily the gothic can be found in many different films, specifically  Tim Burtonesque. He’s films have become wildly popular, and in some form resemble the gothic style of literature

   

 Tim Burton films are especially interesting in that way. You can really see what inspires him in his films. Practically all of his films have a gothic framework laid in surrounded by 'his style' that anyone who knows his work could say "that’s a Tim burton film,” Its gothic in nature coated in a whimsical fashion that I think appeals to most people. That’s what makes his films appealing, what draws in the crowd. Tim Burton films are often dark with whimsy. the dark gothicness of his films brings out the mystery in his story. I believe in this way, the design, and dark over tones is what makes most of his work relatable to the term ‘gothic.’
