Setting in Emile Bronte's Wuthering Heights. This does not have a 100% of the work but it serves as a starting point to persons looking a little help.

1. Wuthering Heights: Emily Bronte
Settings:
 Thrushcross Grange
 Wuthering Heights
 The Moors
Thrushcross Grange
Thrushcross Grange was more appealing and elegant,
“carpeted with crimson, and crimson-covered chairs and
tables, and a pure white ceiling bordered by a gold, a shower
of glass drops hanging in silver chains from the center and
shimmering with little soft topers.” This showed the elegance
of Trushcross Grange.
After the dog had bitten Catherine when she and
Heathcliff went to Thrushcross Grange, she (Catherine) spent
five weeks there recovering. Catherine now began acting
differently as she now thought of herself as from being from
the elite group. “ how funny and grim! But that’s because I’m
used to Edgar, and Isabella Linton.” She forgets or replaces
who she really is , to be part of Linton’s class.
The significance of this is to show how society expected
people of that era or status to behave. Edgar, the man who
looked down on Heathcliff for his savage appearance; Mrs
Linton, the snobbish woman who wanted to keep her
children away from Heatchliff just because of his social

2. status and taught Catherine now to act like a lady and
eventually Catherine marries Edgar because of his status. “I
have no business to marry Edgar than I have to be in
heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought
Heathcliff so low, I would not have thought of it. It would
degrade me to marry Heathcliff.” Not only did Thrushcross
Grange show how the people of the highest social status
behaved, it gave pieces of the characters and their
personalities.
The Moors
The constant emphasis on landscape within Emily
Bronte’s, Wuthering Heights endows the setting with symbolic
importance. The Moors is wide, wild, expansive and high.
The Moors serve very well as symbols of the wild threat
posed by nature.
It serves also as the setting of the beginning of
Catherine and Heathcliff’s bond. They play on the moors in
childhood. The Moors is also an extension of Heathcliff’s
personality as he is as wild, free, untamed and vibrant. The

3. wildness in him is mirrored in Catherine’s nature, but she
tries to repress that very part to which Heathcliff gives free
regin.
Apart from Heathcliff the Moors also defines who Cathy
is but because of her status she is forced to act differently.
The Moors is undomesticated, full of savage and unrestrained
passions. This is the only place where Heathcliff and
Catherine is able to express their love in the whelm of the
living. The Moors represented their wild inclination and
freedom.
Wuthering Heights
Wuthering exposed to open air; here, used to describe
the architecture of the house that endures assaults of nature.
(wind, snow, rain). ‘Wuthering’ being a significant provincial
adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which it
station is exposed, in stormy weather.

4. Wuthering Heights (house) is described as having
“stunted firs at the end of the house; and by a range of
gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way as if cravings
alms of the sun … narrow windows are deeply set in the
wall; and the corners defended with large jutting stones.”
The setting of Wuthering Heights reflects the person
who live there. In comparison to Thrushcross Grange those
who live at Wuthering Heights tend to be strong, wild and
passionate. Pathetic Fallacy comes into play as landscape
reflects mindscape . This is as just as how gothic Wuthering
Heights is so its in habitants.
The significance of Wuthering Heights is to show how
the darkness and gothic elements to show or expose
themselves further down in the novel.
Atmosphere

5. The atmosphere of a place is dependent upon the
characters placed there. The atmosphere of Wuthering
Heights is one of darkness and hostility, which is portrayed
through the description of the house (wuthering heights) and
Heathcliff. The description of Wuthering Heights leaves no
doubt of how cold, drafty place to liv with an excessive wind
blowing at all times.
Heathcliff character adds to the darkness in the
atmosphere while Joseph’s character adds to the hostility.
Just as in real life if a person is not permitted to leave an
unwanted area they poisoned it with anger. Their state would
degrade and the would become sullen or gloomy Joseph is
sullen, defensive and is openly hostile bringing all these
qualities to reflects in the atmosphere of all.
His remarks are all examples of his underlying
character. “ The Lord help us!” he delivers in a tone of
displeasure. The atmosphere of Thrushcross Grange is
conservative, refined, warm and sophisticated where as
Wuthering Heights is brutal, wild, cold, extreme and
animalistic.
Tone & Mood

6. Atmosphere sets the tone for/of the novel. As a gothic
novel Wuthering Heights is persistently dark and eerie. The
tone are either grim, grimmer, dark, darker, extreme or more
extreme. On could argue that at the ending a lifght of hope
of promise is alive after Catherine’s death. Through the
language of narrators they shape the tone of the unfolding
drama.
Due to lockwood’s curiosity and fascination change or
give a lighter feeling of who Heathcliff really is. Whenever
Heathcliff is around, the tone grows darker. Also from Nelly
Dean’s language it is shown that she enjoys story-telling. As
she tries to create or maintain a tone of suspense and
mystery.
