Sažetak
In Gothic: Critical Concepts in Literary Cultural Studies (2004), Fred Botting and Dale Townshend state that “incest in the Gothic novel is the visible or secret or absent center of forbidden desire to which terror, always, ultimately, returns” (56). The paper aims to explore the role of incest in Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak (2015). Does incest enable the liberation of female sexuality, positioning Lucille as Gunn and Welch’s “new woman, " that is, "a more powerful and feminized being in which binaries are combined and thus collapsed: male and female, erotic and familial, hunter and hunted, victim and perpetrator” (4)? Or is Lucille’s supposed liberation just a failed illusion necessitating punishment?
