Kvinnlig vänskap i Gotisk Litteratur : En komperativ studie av Gillian Flynns Gone Girl och Daphne du Mauriers Rebecca / Female Friendship in Gothic Literature : A Comparative Study of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl and Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca

The aim of this essay is to investigate the meaning and importance of the female friendship within Ellen Moers tradition and theory regarding the female gothic. In this essay, I argue that the female friendship has played an important role in the portrayal of the Gothic fiction as socially critical of women’s position in the society, mainly by examining the two works Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. The essay is also interested in how the female gothic has developed over time and whether the notion can be applied while analysing more contemporary gothic, and thus, considers the works’ different time periods.
