The story of Roanoke continues to appear in modern popular culture (books, plays,
movies- even a season of American Horror Story). In your opinion, why are people still
fascinated by the lost colony of Roanoke?


Sagot :

The unknown has always fascinated and frightened people across the centuries. Folklore and legends stem from the fear of meeting something unknown. Something strange to our culture. The story of Roanoke is popular due to the fear and interest it excites. The fear comes from the thought that you, or someone you love, could have been a victim to the disappearance. It also interests people due to the fact that it is something unexplained. It shows people that not everything can be calculated and that unknown still exists. This plays on the detective in some people, increasing their interest.
