comment
"The Entail" or as originally called "Das Majorat" was a short story written by E. T. A. Hoffmann and first published in 1817. It tells a long complex history of a hall with a twisted history and involves everything from astronomy, murder, a ghost and sleepwalkers. This is Hoffmann we are talking about.

Floorboard Failure: When a storm strikes the astronomy tower, this is what kills the first Baron R and would have killed Daniel if he had taken one more step.

Gothic Horror: This story sets itself as one of Hoffmann's gothic side. While the narration does go a bit more into his usual side, there are a lot of gothic tropes at work in this story.

One Steve Limit: Completely averted. if you can't tell your first Baron R from his grandson the rightful current Baron R, you might need a map. Not to mention Hubert has a son he also named Hubert The protagonist is named Theodore and so is his Uncle.
