In order to examine the playthoroughly, both the definitory characteristics of the Gothic genre and the Female Gothicsubgenre have been taken into account. A category system has been created in which all thecharacteristics of the play that define it as a Female Gothic phenomenon are organised,analysed and explored. Some attention has also been paid to those especial features ortreatments that are unusual or outstanding in that subgenre. This is the result of an analysisof the characters, the plot, and the inner psychology present in them, together with theexamination of several articles and books especialized in the Gothic, the Female Gothic,Joanna Baillie and her work and Orra, in particular.
