Freud's Uncanny

I agree with Freud's analysis of the uncanny. The main reason is because it adds to the sense of creepiness that a gothic story has and wants to convey. When something in a gothic story is uncanny it makes it that much more mysterious to the reader and provides another element to the story. When something seems very familiar but still mysterious in a sense it gives the reader a different kind of feeling that the other elements of a gothic story can't give the reader. If this uncanny-ness is utilized properly along with other gothic elements then the story can become very creepy and mysterious which is a big part of a gothic story. That's why I agree with Freud's theory on the uncanny and the gothic.
