What are some gothic details in the novel To Kill A Mockingbird?
To Kill a Mockingbird shares some characteristics with the Southern Gothic genre.There is a haunted house and a ghost, it’s got inexplicable evil (in the unprepossessing form of Bob Ewell), and it’s got terrifying nightmare encounters (the midnight raid on the Radley Place, Bob Ewell again). It’s also got ham costumes and being pantsless in public, though, so the potential horror of the novel is offset by its humor.
