The Castle of Otranto Literary Devices

Explanation and Analysis:

Horace Walpole's style in The Castle of Otranto is impassioned, picturesque, and sometimes extravagant. The author's sentences are often long and complex, reflecting the patchwork of history that affects the actions of the characters. The novel also comes with two conflicting and somewhat bizarre Prefaces, which were published respectively with the First and Second Editions. In these, the author situates The Castle of Otranto as a frame story, and supplies an imaginary origin, author, and translator for the novel. He then recants this in an explanation of his aims in doing so, and defends himself from critics by comparing his work to Shakespeare. Walpole was keen to have the novel be read in exactly the way he had planned.
