Abstract
The purpose of this extended essay is to examine the characters in Emily Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights”, and question the impact of the setting on the characters’ attitude towards two important themes in the novel - ‘love’ and ‘isolation’. The importance of social values in the 18th and 19th century and the effects of industrialization and capitalism on these values are used by Bronte to illustrate the role of social status and the power of money. Bronte’s usage of these themes along with the setting and her shaping of the characters in the novel according to these values drew me to explore the importance of the setting on the characters decisions. This paper investigates how isolation from social areas and social values affects the actions of characters and to what extent changes in these circumstances can shape one’s decisions about both his/her future life and the lives of other characters.
