  • Examples Of Diction In Wuthering Heights

    1306 Words  | 6 Pages

    Bronte’s application of formal, polysyllabic, and abstract diction is displayed by the words “lost,” “attachment,” “greedy,” “mistrusting,” “covetousness,” and “reckless.” She uses this diction in order to appeal to her literate audience and accentuate the topic of debt, which is largely abstract. Bronte tends to use diction with negative connotations to display her sensitive feelings about the topic of debt and how serious she believes it to be. The emotions she attaches to these words prove their abstractness, as she continuously emphasizes the seriousness of the topic. In this excerpt, Bronte boasts her understanding of polysyllabic words, as this is common in the period of Romanticism, where the artist is the creator and is respected for both their work and intelligence.
