Abstract: This paper explores the use of visceral imagery and horror within gothic literature, analysing key literature texts such as Frankenstein, The Yellow Wallpaper, Dracula, and how the narrative within these texts exposes the darker aspects of womanhood and the constraints society has placed upon the female identity. The study highlights the themes of bodily autonomy, maternal horror, and psychological confinement. This analysis argues that Gothic literature is key to understanding the complex nature of the female experience, while challenging traditional narratives.
