Percival Everett. Is he what we think?

I haven’t posted on here much because I was always self conscious and didn’t feel like I know what to say and if what I was saying was correct. Being in this class for the past three months really has helped me develop a wider range of thinking when it comes literature. This next paper I feel more confident about than our last one. I chose to talk about Zulus in relation to romanticism as described in the Bedford. The Bedford mentions that romanticism can come back to the theme of Gothic. Gothic is described as strange and bizarre in the definition of romanticism and doesn’t that describe the whole book of Zulus? Strange and bizarre? Gothic is also described as a gloomy mood and describes Gothic heroines as mysterious, which if you ask me Alice Achitophel is pretty mysterious. So, does that mean that Percival Everett is a Gothic author when he wrote his book? The definition of Gothic describes the whole setting, mood, characteristics of Zulus. Romanticism, even though Zulus isn’t a romance novel, it is still seen though by using Gothic and that ties it back. That’s what I want to focus my second essay on.
