INTRODUCTION

In this presentation we will explores the role


of sublime nature in Emily Bronte’s wuthering
heights.we will use Longanian theory to
analyze Bronte’s depiction of landscape and
its impact on the novel’s characters and
theme.
THE LONGANIAN APPROACH TO LITERATURE
Longalian theory on the sublime , outlined in his treatise “On The
Sublime”, emphasizes the power of language to evoke awe and
wonder.
• SUBLIMITY AND AWE
Longinus argues that the sublime is characterized by a sense of
awe and overwhelming granduers that transcends the ordinary.
• EMOTIONAL RESPONSE
The sublime provokes a powerful emotional response in the reader,
often characterized by fear, admiration,and a sense of the infinite.
• NATURE AND THE SUBLIME
Longinus viewed nature as a key source of the sublime,
particularly the vastness of the natural world and its awe-
inspiring phenomena.
EMILY BRONTE’S USE OF LANDSCAPE IN
WUTHERING HEIGHTS.
Bronte’s masterfully uses landscape to create a sense of
wildness and untamed beauty, evoking a sense of both wonder
and terror in her readers.
• THE MOORS
The vast, windswept moors serve as a backdrop for the novel’s
dramatic events. They smbolize the untamed nature of the
characters and the wildness of thier passions.
• WUTHERING HEIGHTS
The imposing , gothic mansion of Wuthering Heights is set
admist the moors , reflectings the turbulent and unpredictable
nature of the characters who inhabit it.
• THRUSHCROSS GRANGE
Thrushcross Grange , a more refined and genteel residence,
stands in contrast to wuthering heights, representing a more
civilized and orderly world.
THE SUBLIME IN WUTHERING HEIGHTS
Bronte’s use of landscape , particularly the moors , is
deeply interwined with the concept of the sublime.
• AWE-INSPIRING VASTNESS
The moors are vast and unforgiving, inspiring a sense of
awe and wonder in the characters and readers.
• UNPREDICTABILITY AND DANGER
The weather on the moors is unpredictable and often
violent, reflecting the emotional turmoil and danger of
the characters’ lives.
• CONNECTIONS TO NATURE.
The characters are deeply connected to the natural worl
d , both in their love for it and their fear of its power.
CONCLUSION
Bronte’s use of the sublime in wuthering heights is a
testament to the power of nature to inspire awe , fear , and
a sense of the infinite.
The novel’s enduring appeal is partly due to the vivid
depicton of the moors, which creates a lasting impression
on the readers.
The sublime nature in wuthering heights reinforces the
novel’s exploration of themes such as passion, revenge,
and the enduring power of the human spirits.
