Wuthering Heights: Symbols
Subjects / English / Emily Brontë - Wuthering Heights
In this title we are going to look at the symbols that are used by Emily Brontë in the novel Wuthering Heights to help her tell her story. Brontë uses recurring images to help us understand her characters better and to provide social comments about the time in which she lived and wrote. We will be considering the significance of windows and eyes, doors and locks, books and education, death and, finally, sickness. The most important issue to consider is that of boundaries. This normally suggests some sort of change, whether this is of circumstances or a personal change within a particular character. It could be crossing the boundary between life and death, between inside and outside, or between nature and culture. Each crossed threshold or change affects the characters that make the change as well as those around them.
