Agree or Disagree with Uncanny
I agree with the idea of the uncanny as a Gothic theme. I feel this can be deemed a Gothic theme because uncanny means that things are similar but not exact something is off or misplaced in the comparison and I feel this can add a very creepy scary feeling to a Gothic piece. I attended Lakota East High School, you probably know that Lakota is a very big district, being that, there are many other schools one of which is Lakota West High School. Both East and West buildings have a nearly identical layout given a few very minor exceptions. When I go to the West building it is very creepy for me and something just doesn't feel right almost like West is an impostor here to take over. So the feeling I get from the uncanny effect of being in the two almost identical schools is similar to the feeling I receive when I read a piece of Gothic literature. That being said I do agree that the uncanny could very well be thought of as a Gothic element.
