El castillo de Otranto por Horace Walpole

El principal personaje de El castillo de Otranto es el castillo mismo, omnipresente durante toda la obra. En él y en una iglesia cercana se desarrolla toda la intriga, protagonizada por el usurpador del principado, Manfredo, para que no se cumpla una profecía que vaticina que será desposeído del castillo y su linaje será castigado.

El castillo de Otranto por Horace Walpole

Bastante decepcionante, esta precursora de la novela gótica que, enlazando una situación absurda tras otra, se me caía de las manos a pesar de su corta longitud.Se le da el pase por preconizar todo lo que vino después, y es quizás lo único que disculpa, y tal vez obligue, a su lectura.

El castillo de Otranto, cuya acción se desarrolla en la Italia medieval, narra la historia del tirano Manfred, cuya estirpe arrastra una maldición desde que su abuelo usurpara el poder del castillo a sus legítimos poseedores. Manfred trata de perpetuar su herencia casando a su débil hijo Conrad con la princesa Isabella, pero poco antes de la boda ocurre un accidente fatal de origen aparentemente mágico que frustra sus designios. A partir de este suceso, se desencadenarán una serie de misteriosos fenómenos sobrenaturales y pasiones encendidas que tendrán como escenario el asfixiante y siniestro decorado del castillo, uno de los principales “personajes” del relato: puertas chirriantes, pasadizos oscuros y criptas secretas hacen su aparición por primera vez. Había nacido la literatura de terror… (más)
