The Purpose of this Blog

Your task on this blog is to write a brief summary of what we learned in class today. Include enough detail so that someone who was ill or missed the lesson can catch up with what they missed. Over the course of the term, these 'class scribe' posts will grow to be a guide book for the course, written by students for students.

With each post ask yourself the following questions:
1) Is this good enough for our guide book?
2) Will your post enable someone who wasn't here to catch up?
3) Would a graphic/video/link help to illustrate what we have learned?

Fragmented Narrative

Lesson Objectives:

- deepen my understanding of Bronte's narrative structure
- enagage with the requirements of the Gothic exam

I found that I already knew that the narrative structure is not a simple one and is in fact very disjointed, leading the audience to question the narrators.

I would need to know if the structure stays at one certain level of complexity, or whether one narrative voice is more responsible for causing the fragmented structure than the other.

One question I have is, how would the Victorian audience have received this novel when it was first published?


Homework:
complete the essay we started in class, with the question:
"How does the narrative structure of the opening of Wuthering Heights enhance the novel's Gothic qualities?"

  1. Thanks for the blog Sophie!
    Another element of Gothic is tailored through Lockwood's prolix sentences. The use of pathetic fallacy of "stunted firs...[and] a range of thorns all stretching their limbs" constructs a vivid imagery of the setting as the plants act as a barrier surrounding the rugged Wuthering Heights. Whereby, establishes a sense of terror in the readers' minds.

  2. Lockwood and Nelly are narrators who both tell the story but still leave the reader confused and out of the loop. This fragmented narration is what makes Wuthering Heights such a good Gothic novel. However due to the fragmented narrative, readers need to fill in gaps in the narration for themselves.
