Pre-1914 Prose Task All five Victorian writers use mystery in there story's, but the word mystery does not just mean one thing. The mystery in these story's are either a whodunit or a superstitious type of mystery. A whodunit is where the people in the story or the reader try and work out what the mystery is, and a superstitious mystery is where it can not be explained. "Napoleon and The Spectre" by Charlotte Bronte …showed first 75 words of 1895 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1895 total…This is because it uses very good characters such as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Roylott to put mystery across. It also uses the gothic setting of the large house which adds more mystery to the story. I also think its very good how the mystery is solved at the end of the story. Although I think the story could of done with a little more description it is defiantly the best out of the five.
