I adore your bridal gothic alignment chart and for fun, have been attempting to label a few other media within its organisation. My first thought was seeing if it could apply to queer relationships, and I found it did for Carmilla!
Also, I too went to Paris recntly and saw the Crazy Horse and can agree it's such a spectacle to watch what countless other notable persons have seen. Also I agree the restricted seats weren't bad at all!
ooh, yes! i was working on a table with three examples per tale type and ending as well but that proved to be too much for little old me :,) where did “Carmilla” end up for you? :)
looove the crazy horse and will go again, i should’ve picked up the vinyl in the gift store!!! ˚ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆｡☆
Brillaint taxonomy of bridal Gothic endings. The four-quadrant framework (property vs beloved, escape vs embrace) cuts straight to the structural tension that makes these narratives so compulsive. Especially insightful how transformation and repetition endings functoin as mirrored escapes from teh marriage trap itself.
Thank you for such an in depth, detailed and educated series of essays!! You’ve made me want to rewatch and reread Frankenstein, and to seek out older film reiterations of the classic tale!
Your description of Paris makes me long to return (said as someone’s whose devotion to the spectre of Paris has always been…wanting).
yes, it's the 2016 version from the Royal Ballet! i've also been eyeing the 2011 National Theatre version (w/ Benedict Cumberbatch), and would love to watch the Hamburg State Opera version (the puppet Creature looks so fun!) but i don't believe there's recordings of that :,)
