Victorian History....... Wuthering Heights
Emily Bronte's writing contains a lot of romanticism. Heathcliff and Catherine's love was doomed from the start yet their love was unconditional. Romanticism and realism was a constant theme during the Victorian time period. It showed up in society as well as literature and the arts. Wuthering Heights is the perfect combination of both elements meshed together.

I noticed that too with all of the love and stuff. Did you get this from the Victorian Packet? I didn't understand it, but with the stuff I looked up, It talked about this. I think it's cool though how Cathy and Heathcliff were meant to be together, but aren't. However, you should have elaborated a little more about realism and the literature and arts and things these elements showed up in, that would have helped me understand better.
ReplyDeleteYes, I got it from the Victorian packet, smart one.
