My Belief on Gothic and Empire

My current belief on goths is mostly derived from movies such as the Silence of the Lambs or television shows such as Game of Thrones, however the true roots of goth come from Europe rather than Hollywood.  In my own words, goth can be defined as mysterious, dark, twisted, and fantastical.  Goth is also not only applicable to stories and movies as there are goth structures and buildings throughout the world.  There are Gothic Cathedrals and buildings throughout the world, and when I imagine what these look like I picture flying butreses and gargoyles.  Goth is a term that originated in ancient Europe and has now transposed into modern television, books, movies, and architecture.

My current belief on the Empire is not much.  Many ruling families and organizations overcame others and those revolutions are what shaped Europe into what it is today.  The history of these past rulers define cultural beliefs throughout Europe.  They also are the cause for certain traditions in Europe.  I am excited to learn more about both Goth and the Empire during my time abroad.
