If I understand the question correctly... the use of a first person's narration in a Gothic-esque story can be used to delve into the characters mind, not only giving the reader a more understandable connection to the character, but it is able to bring taboo and otherwise unsaid dark thoughts into play of the scene
It is most likely expressive because it focuses on the motivations and fears of the author.
Hope this helps!
