This week's question is from @stellarcalamity7:

"I love these segments! I have gained so much from tuning in. I hope you can help me unravel something I've been thinking about. I'm fascinated by Archetypal Character Arcs, but I need help understanding how they fit in Gothic Horror, which usually features a young wife and a much older husband. I know it must follow an arc, maybe The Maiden Arc, but I'm not sure. Can you please expound upon the arc or arcs related to gothic horror novels like Rebecca or Rosemary's Baby?"
