Examples Of Diction In Wuthering Heights

This novel is an imaginary story of romance and hatred between two families. It is said that her novel somewhat relates to her family that it was inspired by the life she lived with them. In Ilene Cooper’s brief article “Always Emily” she states how Emily and Charlotte her sister, incorporated some Brontë’s real personal characteristics, but in a modern era “Emily, the opinionated, fearless one, is determined to follow where the clues lead, personal safety be damned; the more conservative Charlotte nevertheless uses her caution to make sure things don’t go completely off the rails. The afterward explains how other elements of the Brontës’ life figure into the story and setting” (Cooper). In other words what encourage Emily to write this novel were her thoughts and experiences on living a lonely life. She did not find another way to express her feelings then by writing in an imaginary novel. Also, in Donna C. Woodford’s critical essay “An Overview of Wuthering Heights” when discussing about the novel Wuthering Heights she argues that it “is a complex novel, and critics have approached it from many different standpoints. Feminist critics have examined the strong female characters and their oppression by and resistance to violent men” (Woodford).

Bronte 's Jane Eyre transcends the genres of literature to depict the emotional and character development of its protagonist. Although no overall genre dominates the novel exclusively, the vivid use of setting contributes towards the portrayal of Bronte’s bildungsroman (Realisms, 92) and defines the protagonist’s struggles as she grapples with her inner-self, and the social expectations of her gender.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain takes place in the mid 1830’s to the mid 1840’s when slavery was still prevalent in the south. Although the book was set in the 1830’s to the 1840’s, it was not published until 1884, after slavery had been abolished in 1865. Slavery is an important topic of the book to focus on because it shaped the way people thought. A way that Twain shows the truths of slavery in the book is through irony. A specific scene that he used irony in was when Huck was helping Jim escape from slavery, yet Huck judged Jim for wanting to free the rest of his family which is ironic. Twain’s use of irony in this passage connects to the theme of slavery in the book and makes the reader recognize the

During the Victorian era, the ideal woman’s life revolved around the domestic sphere of her family and the home. Middle class women were brought up to “be pure and innocent, tender and sexually undemanding, submissive and obedient” to fit the glorified “Angel in the House”, the Madonna-image of the time (Lundén et al, 147). Normally, girls were educated to be on display as ornaments.

When writing a piece of literature how the author is able to hook the reader is a way to draw in a reader’s attention to the story. Being able to write a good piece of literature, the story throughout needs to capture the reader’s eye. Meaning the author needs to give the reader a reason to stick around and to move forward through the story. K.M. Weiland author of The Hook states “Readers are like fish. Smart fish. Fish who know authors are out to get them, reel them in, and capture them” (338). Readers pick up novels or any type of story to be in awe of the new information or world taken in by books and novels. Being able to capture the reader’s attention is a passage only the author can work towards.

The novel was published during the Industrial Revolution, a time of great economic change in which laborers fought for fair conditions at the workplace, and employers fought to defend themselves. People formed groups to work for their own benefit, thus causing the separation of classes. As a novel written during the Victorian era, Emily Bronte’s intensely class conscious novel Wuthering Heights is a story of protecting and improving one's social and economic class. Much of this struggle results from a distinct division of classes and is described through such ways as personal relationships, appearance of characters, and even the setting. The division of classes is based on cultural, economic, and social differences, and it greatly affects the general behavior and actions of each character. These struggles between social classes roughly resemble a real-life conflict during this

Emily Brontë’s emphasis on the motif of sickness and death in Wuthering Height deepens the drama of the plot and constructs more complicated relationships between the characters.
