Pitifully


The word 'pitifully' in this excerpt is significant because it tells the reader the narrator's feelings towards the girl getting married. Without that word, there would not be the same level of insight or emotion into the narrator's thoughts. the word 'pitiful' has a negative connotation, if you are feeling pity for someone it means you do not think they should be in the situation they are in and wish you could help get them out of it. This tells the reader that the narrator feels the bride is far too young to be getting married and maybe it's something out of her control or that she is being forced into.

Do you believe that gothic stories can be just as impactful as other types of literature? Why or why not?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer: yes

Explanation: The goal of gothic writing was, and still is, to amuse readers and encourage self-improvement. Dark romanticism often features a lonely setting, a ghost or spirit, the usage of symbols, and a fatal illness or mental illness as the cause of death.
