Wuthering Delights // Nuala and Julia

In the last episode of our podcast, we discuss Bronte’s hidden themes in “Wuthering Heights”, along with her personal intent and influence on the story. Is there such a thing as too close in the affairs of love? The characters’ relationships are incredibly claustrophobic, and obsession turns to cruel acts of revenge and insatiable attempts to revive the past (to literally digging up graves!). Thanks for listening!
