In many ways, the two houses, Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights, represent good or light and evil or dark, respectively. This contrast is noticed upon inspection of their appearance, location, and inhabitants. The two houses do, however, share an ability to attract people and a struggle for dominance. Thrushcross Grange is initially described as “beautiful—a splendid place carpeted with crimson, and crimson-covered
their feminist ideals. Kramer also describes their ability to “reconstruct masculine spaces” (Linkin). In a world where women were portrayed as weak, Gothic feminists were able to devise settings where this was no longer the case.
