The following aspects of Wuthering Heights conform to the traits of a gothic novel:
the setting of the windswept moors, with a gloomy, dark atmosphere that pervades the manor Wuthering Heights
supernatural events, such as sightings of Catherine’s ghost by Lockwood and Heathcliff
violence depicted in Lockwood’s nightmare, in which the ghost-child’s hand is rubbed against the broken windowpane until it bleeds
a sense of mystery evoked by the gloomy, brooding landscape and Heathcliff’s strange behavior
The following elements do not fit into the gothic genre:
a realistic portrayal of the class differences in nineteenth-century England, as reflected in Hindley’s behavior toward Heathcliff
the rise of the moneyed middle class as a result of the Industrial Revolution, as portrayed by Heathcliff’s transformation to a wealthy gentleman
a somewhat happy ending, with the death of Heathcliff and the marriage of the younger Catherine and Hareton, who become the owners of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange
Expository writing communicates fact based information, while a narrative tells a story.
