How Does Bronte Create Tension In Wuthering Heights

Although Wuthering Heights was written in 1907, it still relates to the lives of people today. Wuthering Heights was written by English author, Emily Bronte. Bronte covered many themes such as, manipulation, rivalry, love and hate, suffering, and abuse. Although the most prevalent themes are passion, seclusion through classes, and the supernatural.

In Wuthering Heights, Bronte used the theme of passion, not in a helpful way but in a destruction all way. This novel included Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. These two had grown up beside one another. Catherine was introduced to Edgar Linton after learning how to be proper from the guidance of Mr and Mrs Linton. After marrying Edgar, Catherine found that Heathcliff had been in love with her

The first occurrence was shown in chapter 3, while Mr. Lockwood was having his mysterious dreams. Later in the book, it is shown that the people from his dreams are past members of the family. In chapter 26, Heathcliff prays that after Catherine had died, her ghost would be with him. This foreshadows some of the next occurrences of the supernatural. In chapter 29 Heathcliff says that Catherine had tortured him for the past eighteen years. Although after he decided to open Catherine’s coffin in the grave, he felt less tortured than he did in the past eighteen years. In the last few chapters of the book, Emily shows that Heathcliff has been seeing the spirit of Catherine and talking to her. Finally at the very end of the book, a little boy tells Mrs. Dean that he had seen two people walking happily through the moors together.
