Scenery!
Well, as we've began the journey into The Mysteries of Udolpho we are only beginning to notice little bitty things, like scenery! The scenery in the early stages and few pages of this book show us that it WILL be a big deal to the story. The story is set in a beautiful place that seems like somewhere anyone would love to live in, but there is something almost eerie about this place. How much more of an indicator is there other than the first paragraph and first few sentences of the book speaking of " the majestic Pyrenees", and "pastoral landscapes". What are yall's thoughts on this topic, and scenery playing a major role in MU?

Well, the scenes at the beginning change a lot. I think the description of La Valle's surroundings are more to demonstrate how much the place means to Emily and her father. However, the story does stick to one setting later on with Emily being trapped.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning it kind of sticks to one setting also, maybe there is a pattern there?
