Famous Gothic characters in literature include Count Dracula from "Dracula" by Bram Stoker, Heathcliff from "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë, and Victor Frankenstein's monster from "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. These characters often embody themes of darkness, mystery, and the supernatural.

Answer 3

Usually:

A ghost/monster: usually haunts someone because they want revenge for whatever reason. Usually misunderstood because they probably have reasons for the evil that they do.

A vulnerable character: Usually a small child or teenager. Usually isolated from everybody (nobody can save them)

A father with a close bond to his child: Usually has been through a traumatic experience (wife has died etc) and is very protective over his child; doesn't want to lose them too.
