Dr Octavia Cox | WUTHERING HEIGHTS – Structure & Narrative Technique | Emily Brontë WUTHERING HEIGHTS novel analysis @DrOctaviaCox | Uploaded June 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Analysis of Emily Brontë’s brilliant novel Wuthering Heights, focusing on the literary devices & techniques she uses to structure the dual narrative. How does Emily Brontë deploy anachrony, prolepsis, & analepsis (definitions & examples included) to convey past, present, & future times (in both narrators, Nelly Dean & Mr Lockwood)? The lecture closes by considering Heathcliff’s death & why Emily Brontë might present it as an unsatisfying anticlimax.

Plot sections analysed:
• Catherine / Cathy Earnshaw’s ghost’s encounter with Mr Lockwood (ch.3)
• Hindley Earnshaw & Heathcliff fighting over a horse, which leads Nelly Dean to confess to Mr Lockwood: “He complained so seldom, indeed, of such stirs as these, that I really thought him not vindictive: I was deceived completely, as you will hear” (ch.4)
• Hindley Earnshaw’s death, meaning that Heathcliff “was now the master of Wuthering Heights” & Hareton Earnshaw being “reduced to a state of complete dependence on his father’s inveterate enemy” (ch.17)
• The report of Heathcliff’s death (ch.32)
