Emily Bronte's Book - Wuthering Heights

In Emily Bronte's book Wuthering Heights,she uses, a large amount of characterization, imagery and setting to give the reader a mysterious mood when reading this book. Emily Bronte uses imagery to characterized the characters and setting set the mood of the novel.

Imagery is one of the best ways of enabling the reader to visualize the characters and landscape of the book. Bronte loves to set the mood of the book through the tremendous imagery she uses within the book. A quote from the prompt showing this is “I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously under their brows, as I rode up, and when fingers sheltered themselves, with jealous resolution, still further in his waistcoat”. Bronte gives gives a gothic mood mood and mysterious mood to the character of her elaborate imagery, like when Bronte says his black eyes not in the context of him actually having black eyes but how she perceives him as a character. A quote that gives you a feel for the characters would be “Joseph was an elderly, nay, and old man: very old, perhaps, though hale and sinewy.” The way Bronte describes the character the get the reader the really imagine how he looks to get the reader to feel emotion based on if they were actually there.

Setting is very similar to imagery but in describing the landscape into giving the reader a real feeling of how the weather and land would sets the mood and tone for the story. An example like “When he saw my horse's breast fairly pushing the barrier, he did not put out his hand and unchain it, and then sullenly preceded me up the causeway”. You can see the way Emily describes the setting but also. Carrying out the story to give the mood of being and seeing with your mind but not actually being there. Bronte also uses parts of the passage to describe the landscape and weather like “ a beautiful country”, “ in a stormy weather”, “ north wind blowing”, “ range of gaunt thorns”,
