In the following pages I will look at the different analytical interpretations held by critics who have explored the Gothic genre. In part two of this paper I will then look at the critical exegeses on The Castle Of Otranto to find out why this book by Horace Walpole is considered to be the first Gothic novel.nd Manfred's wife, Hippolita, also seeks asylum in a convent. Thus is the tale of The Castle of Otranto, a simple story with an underlying plot set in a medieval context with ghosts, knights, damsels in distress, a questionable hierarchy, and a battle for the love of a woman.
The Cost of Granite vs. Quartz Countertops. Itâs really about a toss-up in this category. The cost of quartz ranges from $80-$140 per square foot installed and granite starts at about $80 and can go to $175 or slightly higher for high-end material.
Granite countertops are priced similarly to quartz counters. They usually cost about $50 to $100 per square foot, including installation. Standard granite is often slightly less expensive than quartz while premium granite tends to be a bit more expensive.f you have 30 square feet of counter space-which is fairly standard-the total cost would be $1,500 to $3,000. 1  Uniform look-As with all engineered products, quartz countertops have a clean, uniform look. 2  There are no variations or irregularities in the pattern.
