  1. Nature and Natural Imagery Wuthering Heights And Thrushcross Grange

  2. Bronte positions houses in opposition by using dissimilar settings

  3. Wuthering Heights • Epitome of STORM • Lockwood tells us “wuthering” = descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather” • Representative of that which is WILD and UNCIVILIZED • Surrounding vegetation of the house—”the exessive slant of a few stunted firs . . .and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way”

  4. Interior of house—”corners were defended with large jutting stones” and “kitchen ws forced to retreat altogether into another quarter”, “the chairs were high-backed, primitive structures” • Bronte personifies house to indicate a defensive and unwelcoming environment • Powerful impression of a passionate human pulsating with same energies as its inhabitants
