To be persecuted, as several analysts have observed, is better than being ignored.

But surely to be loved and admired is better than being persecuted. Yet Gothics are never about women who experience delusions of grandeur and omnipotence (a form paranoia occasionally takes); the Gothic heroine always feels helpless, confused, frightened, and despised. Obviously, then, to cite romantic disillusionment and feelings of social isolation in the newly married woman is not sufficient to explain the particular kinds of fantasies encountered in female Gothics. We must look deeper into the dynamics of the paranoid process as well as into female psychology in order to see how women come to form certain kinds of attitudes toward their husbands and, consequently, how Gothics help them to understand these attitudes.
