Wuthering Delights Episode 1

Nuala Cowen and Julia Dunn

Book: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

In this episode, we examine the complex relationships of Wuthering Heights’ many characters and how their personalities are depicted through surroundings and weather. In other pieces of literature, there is a clear divide between humans and nature; this is not the case for Bronte’s novel, and we attempt to analyze her figurative language through the podcast. We hope you enjoy!
