In what way is the passage characteristic of gothic
fiction?
Presently I heard a slight groan, and I knew it was the
groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of pain or of
grief-oh, no!-it was the low stifled sound that arises
from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe.
I knew the sound well. Many a night, just at midnight,
when all the world slept, it has welled up from my own
bosom, deepening, with its dreadful echo, the terrors that
distracted me.
- "The Tell-Tale Heart,"
Edgar Allan Poe
It explores fear and strong emotions,
It focuses on reason and science,
It describes a supernatural creature,
It uses a third-person point of view.

this is the correct for some of you who are looking for this kind of answer.

#if any of you need a question answered within secs/mins hit me up and I got you! :)

a myth is something that is told for many years that u go looking for and cant find and a truth is something that u can find in real life and can be story's of for example:

mermaid's and unicorns: u can't find them at all so they can be a myth cause u hear story's about them once u go looking for them u won't find them.

dinassours(can't spell): u hear story's about them at school by ur friends and one day ur dad takes u to a museum and u find fossils of them so u realize they are real and not fake.
