Wuthering Heights #1

When writing, it tells a lot about the author's values and attitudes. In Wuthering Heights, I noticed a lot about Emily Bronte's attitudes. She seems very serious when it comes to writing this novel. She is humorless; there is nothing funny just seriousness. Just like the protagonist of the novel, Heathcliff. In the beginning of the novel Heathcliff and Catherine's relationship or love is almost like a tragedy and her attitude is unhappy. She also has many values towards love because of their relationship. Therefore, Bronte shows a lot of values in her novel.

Moving on to Bronte's perspective in the novel. Her perspective is quite gloomy. It is not really depressing, but it is not really uplifting or happy. As I said earlier in the blog, Bronte has an attitude that seems unhappy. Another definition of perspective would be the point of view that the author is writing from, and who the point of view is coming from. In this case, Bronte's perspective is from Mr. Lockwood. So she is narrating through him. The point of view would be first person. I noticed this early in the novel because I saw words such as I, me, my, and mine.
Bronte showed many different values and attitudes. She also had many different perspectives as well.
