Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte’s style of writing would be described as simple but effective. Emily connects with her readers with the words she uses and how she presents them. Obviously, if one wishes to write proper literature, he or she must write well and have their own style. The author’s language is has its importance in decent literature guiding the reader through the meaning the poem or writing is trying to insinuate.

Although the message within her poems seems loose, her lines are concise and easy to put together.

The poem is organized into 32 stanzas with a rhyme scheme of BCBC, AGAGAG, and
