An application of gothic elements in rudyard kipling's “my own true ghost story”

This paper aims to find the Gothic elements in Rudyard Kipling, selected short story. After the first reading of the short story “My own true ghost story” gives a lot of gothic elements. The analysis of Victorian Gothic stories will give, how fragile young men as heroes suffer a lot, the contrast of both the present time and the past time, isolation, gloomy atmosphere, and the characters' language and behavior. For example in HG Wells' story, we find a young man who refuses to accept that the red room is haunting. As a result, he is a great figure of the frailty that surrounds the core protagonists of gothic literature. We also have English people like the character in Rudyard Kipling's My Own True Ghost Story, who is in something of a fragile condition since he believes; he is in the vicinity of a haunting room. As a result, the young girls and boys are vulnerable, throughout the storylines. So, even though we have a representation of helpless heroines, we may also have terrifying places inside the United Kingdom within the city of London. As a context, in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, the Satis House becomes a dangerous and violent environment for the main character. So any place could appear gothic when it appears unsettling if this is not at the household; if a residential place is upended, it takes on a gothic feel. Unless the residential city of London is changed within it outside and inverted, it could become a medieval room.
