Description
“The Evil Eye” by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is a gothic short story steeped in superstition, mystery, and dark psychological undertones. The tale explores the ancient belief in the power of the "evil eye"—a malevolent gaze believed to cause misfortune or harm. Set in a haunting atmosphere, the story follows a young woman who becomes entangled in fear, suspicion, and fate when an ominous older woman seems to cast the evil eye upon her. With themes of jealousy, fate, and the clash between reason and folklore, Shelley's narrative delves into the darker corners of the human psyche.
