setting, characters, and story line of Wuthering Heights.   This novel is set in the open moors of England, where Bronte grew up.   Nelly Dean,

Nelly represents not only the power and wisdom of women, but also her compliance to dominance of men. ‘Nelly Dean is a manipulative creature who will go to considerable lengths to maintain the status quo of male authority.’ (Whitley, 2000: xi) By adding this trait to Nelly’s character Brontë reminds the reader

characters in Wuthering Heights. These characters share exact characteris that Emily’s family displayed throughout her life upon publication of the story. Some examples of these direct connections would be through the characters Heathcliff, Cathy Earnshaw, Nelly, and Hindley. In summary this work by Emily Bronte is a reflection of the life she lived, and can be very closely translated. To illustrate this idea we draw the parallel between Cathy Earnshaw and Emily Bronte herself. As the author Emily Bronte

Novelists choose all aspects of their stories carefully, including their settings. Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Height features two settings vastly different in physical, geographical, and cultural surroundings that heavily shape the psychological and moral traits of the cast of characters. Young Catherine Earnshaw is affected by both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange which provide an impact strong enough to alter her character to an extreme where Heathcliff considers her to be two separate entities

1-10, Nelly appears to not have a single nice thing to say about Catherine, focusing on recounting how rude and haughty she was. She describes her as a "thorn" being embraced by "honeysuckles" (Edgar and Isabella being the honeysuckles) in the quote, “It was not the thorn bending to the honeysuckles, but the honeysuckles embracing the thorn” (10. 23). In Nelly’s opinion, she frequently cries in order to keep her family and friends “emotionally hostage”, yet Catherine seems to be fond of Nelly, and

Misery Loves Company Being at the wrong place at the wrong time is dangerous enough, but stumbling across the wrong person can be life threatening. Toxic qualities infect the host individual as well as those surrounding them. Much like a merciless virus that can destroy a life from the inside out, poisonous characteristics run rampant through a community and spread as quickly as the plague. Historian and philosopher Howard Zinn proposes that, “the air of the world is poisonous. And you must carry

Violence Written in 1847 by Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights follows the life of Heathcliff, the family that raised him and those who impacted his life. It is a novel that goes from present day to past events to explain why Heathcliff is the way he is and how the story has formed throughout his life and the lives of those around him. Emily Bronte used imagery and diction to create the physical, verbal, and animalistic violence that was displayed in Wuthering Heights. The most common form of violence

a complicated point of view. The narrator of the past is Nelly Dean, while the present time narrator is Mr. Lockwood. Set as a story within a story, Nelly tells Lockwood an eyewitness account of her dealings with the Earnshaws and the Lintons, while Lockwood is the outsider who records in his diary Nelly’s stories of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. From the novel’s beginning, Lockwood proves himself to be objective, while Nelly is subjective as she is able to recall details from many

Isabella, Heathcliff's hated wife, joins the in narration only twice, first when describing her miserable marriage to Heathcliff in a letter to Nelly, second when narrating the incidents relating to her elopement from the Heights.
