Answer:

All three of these famous writers wrote about gothic literature but their differences lie in their representation of that evil nature. Shelly and Stoker characterize their protagonists only on their evil nature while Stevenson's character has a two-in-one nature within himself.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley was the author of "Frankenstein", Bram Stoker wrote "Dracula" while Robert Louis Stevenson wrote "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". All three of them wrote their books based on the gothic genre of novel writing. Gothic literature is a literary form where the dark nature of human is focused more than the normal nature. Gothic form represents the dark and evil side of humanity that sometimes got forgotten.

While the similarity of the three writers may be in the genre of their books, their differences lie in their representation of that evil.

1. Stoker's protagonist has supernatural powers which makes him superior among the other characters, also giving him an upper hand in the situation. 2. Shelly's monster, on the other hand, was created and then deserted by his creator, thus making his actions a result of the master's abandonment and not entirely his fault.

3. Stevenson's character meanwhile is on a different level to the two protagonists. The character Dr. Jekyll was a good doctor and scientist who turns evil only when he became Mr. Hyde. He is an embodiment of two people in one body, thus making him a vessel of the good and evil nature of human in one entity.

Which of the following words has a negative connotation? (10 points)  Discouraging  Freedom  Exhilarated  Bulb
boyakko [2]
The word with a negative connotation is discouraging.

When someone is discouraged, they are dispirited, disheartened, and with a lack of enthusiasm; this has a negative implication.

All other options have positive connotations, except maybe bulb, which is pretty neutral.

I hope this helps you!
