A gothic novel written by Ann Radcliffe and first published in 1790, A Sicilian Romance concerns a young woman named Julia who, upon being pressured into an arranged marriage by her tyrannical father, the Marquis of Mezzini, flees to a convent to escape. Meanwhile, odd noises and sudden movements in her family castle draw worries from the servants, who believe the castle to be haunted. |

Damsel in Distress: Yes... and no. Julia does get into a lot of trouble over the course of the novel, but she is pretty quick to make plans to escape, even managing to escape imprisonment from the castle with the help of only two servants and breaks free of a bandit trying to rape her. |
