Emily Bronte uses the techniques of mystery and love, but again, mostly love. There are many mysteries found in this novel. Such as the mystery of where Heathcliff is really from. The way they described him was a dark skinned gypsy, but we do not know where that means he is from. He could be African, or Egyptian, or something else, but all we can really assume is that whatever he is, he is not European. The book all-in-all is a very mysterious one. It is dark, and suspenseful, and it has somewhat of a horror feel to it, but that is what makes it intriguing. The love story in the novel is what probably brings in most of the readers, seeing as though love is something we can all relate to. If you write romance into a good novel, then most likely the novel’s fame will rise. Also, the fact that Wuthering Heights is not your average “fair maiden and prince charming” love story, makes it more realistic, and thus more popular in society’s eyes. The combination of mystery, darkness, horror, revenge, and love makes the story a very intriguing one and it engages the audience, making the story an effective one.
