Wuthering Heights 3

"A high wind blustered round the house, and roared in the chimney; it sounded wild and stormy, yet it was not cold." -pg. 36

This scene is one example of how nature parallels to the events of the story. Wuthering Heights gets its name from the way the weather is stormy and dark sometimes, or "Wuthering". This example of the weather being described as stormy and windy directly parallels to the events going on within the residence. The father had just died and there is lots of mourning within the house. This also lets the reader know that whenever the weather is stormy or "Wuthering," the relationships and the events within the residences are reflective of the weather. It also shows the effect that nature has on the town and the towns near it. In the first few chapters, Lockwood was stuck at the Heathcliffs' because of the snowy weather locking him in. This also effected the plot by the dialect and events that happened during his short stay.
