The Castle of Otranto
Experience: Distress
Narrative Technology: Story within a Story
The novel begins with a preface written by the translator describing how he discovered the tale, didn't really believe it, but then came to see that it must be true. We are encouraged to "suspend our doubts and peer deeper into the story, seeking authentic truths hidden beneath the surface preposterous" (Fletcher 189).
