    This imbalance is felt because with Mrs Earnshaws departure‚ Hindley no longer has that "other person" that dislikes Heathcliff as much as he does‚ making him feel lonelier‚ affecting his attitude toward the rest of the family.

Cathy: Chapter 24 D.) Zilla: Chapter 30. Nelly’s narrative is so dramatised that we could argue that much of it is in the form of a tertiary narration‚ e.g. the conversation involving Heathcliff‚ Catherine and Edgar on Heathcliff’s return is recorded in the words of the participants. The effect of this is to present

    How does Emily Bronte use Gothic elements to enhance the novel ‘Wuthering Heights’? Discuss how Daphne Du Maurier’s ‘Jamaica Inn’ illuminates this. In the Victorian era we saw the revival of gothic literature; it fictionalised contemporary fears such as ethical degeneration‚ unmediated spiritual beliefs against a stern religious faith and also questioned the social structure of the time. Although written almost 100 years apart both Wuthering Heights and Jamaica Inn share many themes and components

    I say about Edgar Linton? Surprisingly‚ quite a bit. Although he has a reserved and calm nature‚ there is actually ample analysis that can be drawn from his character. It may not be as spontaneous and exhilarating as his counter-part (you know‚ Heathcliff!) but he does represent a part of society that is necessary in Wuthering Heights. Edgar’s tranquility goes hand-in-hand with his well-tempered upper class lifestyle. He’s wealthy and he’s a gentleman! Such a combination. Seer into the past and
