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.
Before you spree on a new quartz or granite countertop, make sure youâre getting the product best suited to your wants and needs.There are a lot of assumptions and misconceptions about quartz and granite (such as neither one stains) that cause customer satisfaction to be rather short-lived.uartz has historically been more expensive than granite, but times have changed, technology has improved and now the discussion is not so cut-and-dry. Quartz generally runs from about $65-$100 per square foot installed. So your average quartz countertop of, say, 40 square feet will run from $2,600-$4,000.
