Two doors from one corner, on the left hand going east the line was broken by the entry of a court; and just at that point a certain sinister block of building thrust forward its gable on the street. It was two storeys high; showed no window, nothing but a door on the lower storey and a blind forehead of discoloured wall on the upper; and bore in every feature, the marks of prolonged and sordid negligence.

–The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
Robert Louis Stevenson

In what way is the setting of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde typical of gothic fiction?

Which detail from the passage establishes the gothic setting?

Stevenson calls the laboratory "a particular gloomy block of architecture forced forward its gable on the roadway" in the first chapter. The reader is reminded that this building and the person using it are special by the way the building is “thrusting” forward.

Gothic scenes frequently take place in castles, cemeteries, tunnels, dungeons, and religious buildings like churches and chapels. They are typically dilapidated, old buildings situated in remote, hidden areas, like the immensity of a forest or the solitude of the mountains.

Gothic literature frequently exploits the reader's sense of wonder and dread, both through the language used and the actual content of the story.
