This is reminiscent of the poor manners of the average Gothic villain, and indeed the phrase ‘supernatural barbarity’ well summarises the treatment which Caleb fears, and in part receives, at Falkland’s hands. ‘What was it’, he expostulates at one point,

that fate had yet in reserve for me! The insatiable vengeance of a Falkland, of a man whose hands were, to my apprehension, red with blood, and his thoughts familiar with cruelty and murder. How great were the resources of his mind, resources henceforth to be confederated for my destruction!

(CW, p. 145)
