Pemberley estate is placed at the centre of the novel both literally and figuratively. In terms of Pemberley’s literal meaning, it informs the reader that the estate belongs to Darcy, while figuratively it reflects the charm of his character. Elizabeth Bennet’s visit to Pemeberly illuminates’ Darcy’s moral fibre, she is enchanted by its beauty and good taste; she is thrown by the vivid and vastly spread nature surrounding Pemeberly. In contrast, Forster’s ‘A Room with a View’ utilises place more frequently, primarily to reveal character and act as a metaphor for a repressed society.

There’s no denying that Emily Brontë wrote quite a captivating novel. She used many elements and events around her-England’s failing economy, British hierarchy, and death from an illness that could easily be treated nowadays being a few examples-to portray her wild imagination.

Wuthering Heights is a story full of symbols, themes and motifs among which we can also encounter the opposition between civilization and wilderness. The setting used throughout the novel Wuthering Heights helps to set the mood to describe the characters. We find two households separated by the cold, muddy, and desolate moors, one by the name of Wuthering Heights, and the other by the name of Thrushcross Grange. Each house stands alone and the atmosphere creates a mood of isolation. In the novel, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange are the two places where virtually all of the action takes place. However, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, differ greatly from each other in appearance and atmosphere. These differences reflect the universal conflict between the storm and calm that Emily Bronte develops as the theme in the novel.

Although the title of the novel was the most important feature that gave the characters their traits, Emily Bronte included two places to make the novel more interesting. The two families were disjointed by the cold, murky, dark and desolate moors, Wuthering Heights and of Thrushcross Grange. Both houses hold different morals and values.
