Bonjour, pouvez vous me traduire ces textes SVP:

THE PURSUED PROTAGONIST: Refers to the idea of a pursuing force that relentlessly acts in a severely negative manner on a character. This persecution often implies the notion of some sort of a curse or other form of terminal and utterly unavoidable damnation, a notion that usually suggests a return to ,or "hangover" of, traditional religious ideology to chastise the character for some real or imagined wrong against the moral order.


THE OUTSIDER: The one theme that cuts through virtually all Gothic is that of the "outsider," embodied in wanderers like Frankenstein's creature. The outsider, like Cain, moves along the edges of society, in caves, on lonely seacoasts, or in monasteries and convents. While the society at large always appears bourgeois in its culture and morality, the Gothic outsider is a counterforce driven by strange longings and destructive needs. While everyone else appears sane, he is insane; while everyone else appears bound by legalities, he is trying to snap the pitiless constrictions of the law; while everyone else seems to lack any peculiarities of taste or behaviour, he feels only estrangement, sick longings, terrible surges of power and devastation. He is truly countercultural, an alternate force, almost mythical in his embodiment of the burdens and sins of society.
Gothic fiction, as we have observed, is concerned with the outsider, whether the stationary figure who represses his difference, or the wandering figure who seeks for some kind of salvation, or else the individual who for whatever reason- moves entirely outside the norm. In any event, he is beyond the moderating impulses in society, and he must be punished for his transgression.
Frankenstein's monster obviously straddles these categories. He wanders through mountain areas of the far North, lurks in caves and caverns, in places no one else dare go. He seeks a mate, a complement to his own loneliness. He is gloomy and melancholy, full of self-pity and self-hatred. Like Cain, he is the perpetual outsider, marked by his appearance, doomed to wander the four corners of the earth, alone and reviled.
It may be argued that Frankenstein himself becomes an outsider as he grows more and more like his creation.

This of course is a selection of only a few elements of a novel, and no text is this predictable. It is worth considering aspects of Frankenstein in light of these ideas, though.

Some further ideas on what the Gothic is or is trying to achieve are:



A set of analysable displacements about what it means to be a human being and gendered.
A journey into the 'darker' side of life; a world of pain and destruction, fear and anxiety which shadows the daylight world of love and ethereality.
A case history of one of many types of insanity.
An exploration of (and perhaps therefore a delineation of) the limits of mortality/immortality; morality/immorality; reason/emotion; order/disorder; mind/body; masculine/feminine.
Revisiting of the 'landscapes of childhood': narcissism, incest, violence, vampirism, androgyny, sexual anarchy, the oedipal triangulation, the family romance. Projective identification (I am the Other) and splitting are the two dominant psychological defences.
A view of interruptions in the maturation process; they are tales of recuperation or reparation; resistance to loss.
An assertion of the values of silence, rectitude, balance (mind of a man and heart of a woman), restrained emotions, strength of character: the century's idealisation of the Virgin Mary.
