The information that I gathered on this study abroad trip that was most meaningful to me was probably the information about how much the Gothic literature really affected the society everywhere all over the world. This could very well have changed some situations I experienced in the past because now knowing that the Gothic is everywhere I will look at things with a lot more understanding of architecture, literature, and all the more Gothic details of the stories I read. This new information can change my perceptions and interpretations by allowing me to fully understand that just because it isn't dark and looking Gothic doesn't mean it shouldn't have a Gothic interpretation because of the way the characters are treated and also how they live their life.
