Wuthering Heights and Frankenstein do share many characteristics stylisticly. The descriptions and sensory details regarding the appearances of those inferior like Frankenstein or the servant at Wuthering Heights are important because they provide insight on how extensive the problems are with each character. This helps the reader understand each character's human condition.
Have you guys read any other Gothic books and can explain how Wuthering Heights relates to them?
I haven't read any other books that could help explain this point, but I do agree that the books Frankenstein and Wuthering Heights are similar stylisticly. A large similarity is that they both break off into a story of the bast for several chapters to explain what has happened so far in the book.
ReplyDeleteYes flashbacks are used in both pieces.
ReplyDeleteI think that in a way, it is somehow necessary for the story to progress with the foreshadow of those flashbacks. So that it is always in the back of the reader's head, which later on pieces the puzzle together and gives the better understanding of the story than to have just blatantly stated chronologically.
ReplyDeleteYes that is true because if the story is completely told in chronological order it gets boring. I see what you are saying.
ReplyDeletewell..from what ihear about wuthering heights it kind of relates to mysteries of udolpho which also has romance in its gothic literature.,,tell me more about the book so,, ican see if it relates more to the book 'the mysteries of udolpho'
