Misplaced Gothic Authors - 1788 way for the observer to escape from real life and its many responsibilities. Gothic art claims to be profound and contain great esoteric meaning with life-changing impact, but the characters and message are more often than not weak, unproductive, crippled, or even crazy. Examples of this flaw in the argument for the Gothic imagination are given in the works of Beethoven, Goethe, Rice, and Gilman. It will be revealed that these authors were often deceived by their own escapist nature to create a false reality and promote it as meaningful. In truth, the Gothic imagination is the imagination of those who seek an excuse for their laziness and purpose behind their protective depression. There is no doubt that Beethoven's works are great and phenomenal. His talent as a composer has rarely been encountered up close. The maturation of his compositions shows a growth of an important musical literature that is credited with changing the world inside and outside the realm of music. This fact has for too long been a powerful tool used by those who promote the Gothic imagination. It is true that Beethoven was deaf and had difficult relationships with his family as well as various women in his life. This gives no reason to believe that he was any different from the millions of other people around the world who found themselves in the same situation. It is suggested that his great works were due to his suffering and his Gothic spirit. It is suggested that he struggled and transcended because he was a Gothic hero. The abuse of the contributions of such a remarkable musician is almost excusable. In their attempt to justify their own suffering and excuse their inability to operate within normal human society, the Goths will say that Beethoven was misunderstood, suffered and died miserably, and so will they. They have given up in front of the world and now feel justified in doing so. Beethoven was a man of great talent and influence in his world, which sets him somewhat apart from others. He also had a lot of suffering in his life, which sets him apart from very few other people in this world..
