Hello, my name is Ms. Grant.

I'm so glad you decided to learn with me today.

We are in the unit, Fiction: books that change my world.

And today, we are going to be looking at "Wuthering Heights." Now, for me, this certainly was a book that changed my world.

I remember first reading it, being astounded by the characterization, by the plot, by the dialogue.

So I hope you enjoy reading some extracts from it today.

Now, these extracts can be found in the additional materials.

So when we are reading in this lesson, you'll find the extracts in the additional materials.

I cannot wait to hear all of your fantastic ideas about this novel, "Wuthering Heights," and, of course, to read these extracts with you.

Let's get started.

So by the end of today's lesson, you are going to be able to explain and analyse Bronte's use of the window motif in "Wuthering Heights." So we're really gonna get to grips with this idea of motif.

In the extracts we're going to read today, the window serves as the motif, but if you understand this word motif, can explore the idea of the window motif, then you'll be able to apply this to lots of different texts that you read.

There are some keywords, which are going to come up throughout today's lesson that are gonna help us unlock our learning.

If you'd like to pause the video and spend a bit of time with these keywords, reading through them, making notes, if you wish, please do.

You can pause the video.

I'm just gonna go through one of the words, and it is a motif.

The first word you've heard me said a few times, so you'll know how to pronounce it now, motif.

And it's an object, image, sound, or phrase that is repeated throughout a story that relates to the theme.

So the idea is that when this object, image, sound, or phrase comes up, we should start to think about some of the key themes of the novel.

And you're going to see today that Emily Bronte uses the window to explore some key themes in her novel, "Wuthering Heights." As I say, if you'd like to spend a bit more time with our keywords, they are on the board.

You can make some notes and pause the video.

Otherwise, we will go through them as when they come up in the lesson.

So a lesson outline for today, we're gonna start off by reading the extracts.

I cannot wait to read these extracts with you.

I absolutely love "Wuthering Heights." It is a fantastic novel.

Very strange, beautifully structured.

So I'm glad that we will be able to read it together.

And then in the second learning cycle, we are going to analyse the window motif.

Bronte's mind was extraordinary, and looking at the window motif is just one way to understand how extraordinary her writing mind was.

So let's start off with reading the extracts.

So the extracts for today lesson are taken from Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights." Now, I'm gonna give you a bit of context about the novel before we read a couple of the extracts.

So full context, "Wuthering Heights" is about Heathcliff and Cathy.

They are the two central characters.

And we hear their story through the recollections of Nelly Dean, a made at Wuthering Heights.

Wuthering Heights is the house where Heathcliff and Cathy grow up.

Now, Nelly Dean is recounting their history to the new tenant, Mr. Lockwood.

So Mr. Lockwood has come to live at Wuthering Heights and Nelly Dean is telling him about Heathcliff and Cathy who grew up there.

Nelly tells him that Heathcliff was an orphan, who was raised by Mr. Earnshaw alongside his two children, Hindley and Catherine.

So Mr. Earnshaw lived at Wuthering Heights.

He has now passed away.

He had Hindley and Catherine, his children, and then he adopted Heathcliff as an orphan.

So Nelly Dean, who was their maid, who helped bring up these children, is telling Mr. Lockwood about Heathcliff.

Now, Catherine and Heathcliff became inseparable.

However, despite their love, Catherine married someone else to enhance her social status, and later she dies.

Heathcliff is haunted by her spirit until his own death.

So there's this idea that Heathcliff and Cathy grow up together.

They are in love.

But Catherine, rather than marrying Heathcliff, she marries somebody else in order to enhance her social status because at Wuthering Heights, she does not have the social status that she desires.

So Nelly Dean is telling this story to Mr. Lockwood.

Mr. Lockwood is hearing the story of Heathcliff and Cathy, these two young people who grew up together.

And now, Catherine is dead.

She has passed away after marrying someone who was not Heathcliff.

So a very intense story, and this is actually only part of it.

It is such an amazingly structured story, and I really encourage you if you enjoy these extracts today to read the whole novel.

So as I say, the extracts for today's lesson are taken from "Wuthering Heights." Now, these extracts can be found in the additional materials, and the first extract is taken from partway through Chapter 3.

So very near the beginning of the novel.

Mr. Lockwood is spending the night at Wuthering Heights.

So he is spending the night at Wuthering Heights, which is where Cathy and Heathcliff grew up, and he has to spend the night there.

He can't get back to his own home because the weather is so bad.

Now, while in his room, he's staying in a room in Wuthering Heights, he finds the diaries of Catherine Earnshaw and begins to read while feeling drowsy.

So he's staying in Heathcliff's house and Cathy's or Catherine Earnshaw's diaries are there and he begins to read them and he starts to sort of feel quite drowsy, feel a bit sleepy.

So I would like you to now to pause the video and read the first extract.

Give it the time that it deserves.

There is absolutely no rush to read this extract.

Enjoy reading it.

Don't worry if you've got questions, things that you are unsure about.

That is part of the joy of reading, especially at the beginning of a novel when a writer isn't gonna give us all the details that we need to understand the text because, of course, they want us to read on and find the answers.

So enjoy reading the opening extract.

Don't worry if there are things that you don't quite understand.

We're going to explore this extract in more detail later.

Pause the video and read the first extract taken from Chapter 3 now.

Welcome back.

So lovely to see people enjoying that opening extract.

Some people really feeling captivated already by "Wuthering Heights" and lots and lots of questions and things that people want to explore.

So I would now like you to answer the following questions.

There are four.

And it will just show your understanding, get you to return to the text just to show that you really understand this extract from Chapter 3.

So whose name is written on the window-sill? Who is knocking on the window? Why are they knocking on the window? How do they react when Mr. Lockwood refuses them entry? So I'd like you to pause the video and answer these questions.

You can either note them down, you can answer them in your head.

Pause the video and answer these questions now.

Welcome back.

Well done for showing your understanding of this extract with some really clear comprehension questions and showing your clear understanding of what is going on in Chapter 3.

So you might have said whose name is written on the window-sill? Well, it's Catherine Earnshaw, Catherine Heathcliff, and Catherine Linton.

So we've got three names.

We're not sure why there are these three names.

Catherine is at the start of all of them, but obviously, different surnames.

Who is knocking on the window, the spirit of Catherine.

So we know Catherine has passed away, and the spirit of Catherine, her ghost has come back to Wuthering Heights, the place where she grew up.

Why are they knocking at the window? Well, they're trying to come inside.

They're trying to come home.

So Wuthering Heights is where Cathy, Catherine, grew up, and she wants to return home.

How do they react to Mr. Lockwood refusing them entry? Well, with sorrow.

They're sad about it and they really want to come inside, so they try again to come inside.

So this ghost is not giving up.

Whether I'm pronouncing those questions, returning to the extract showing great understanding of it.

So I would like you to read the second extract.

Now, the second extract, we're going to look at is from Chapter 6.

And here, young Heathcliff and Catherine are looking through the window of the neighbouring house, Thrushcross Grange, where the Lintons live.

Quite difficult to say, Thrushcross Grange.

This is where the Lintons live, a neighbouring family.

Now, we've gone back in time because we were in the present day, Mr. Lockwood is at Wuthering Heights.

He has to stay there because there's a big storm and he goes to sleep or starts falling asleep, and then sees the ghost of Cathy.

Now, we've gone back in time.

We have seen Cathy when she's young, so it's before she has died.

Nelly Dean is telling the story to Mr. Lockwood about Heathcliff and Catherine and part of their childhood.

And part of their childhood is that one day they were looking through the window of the neighbouring house, Thrushcross Grange, where the Lintons live.

So I would like you to pause the video, read the second extract again, enjoy it.

Don't worry if you've got questions.

We are going to explore this extract together more thoroughly shortly.

Pause the video and read the second extract, which can be found in the additional materials now.

Welcome back.

I hope you enjoy reading that second extract.

You can tell that the story, "Wuthering Heights," is structured really carefully because the first extract that we read from Chapter 3, we were in the present day, and then in Chapter 6, we have moved back in time.

So the first time that we see Cathy, she's a ghost, and now, we're seeing her in Chapter 6 before she has passed away, when she's a child, when she's with Heathcliff, looking through the window of their neighbours.

And their neighbours are called the Lintons.

So you've read that second extract now.

Let's do a little bit of exploration.

So I'd like you to answer the following questions.

From the description of the room, what can you infer about the wealth and status of the Lintons compared to Heathcliff and Catherine? Why do you think Heathcliff calls Edgar and Isabella petted things? What can we infer from this about Heathcliff's of life? Pause the video.

You can note down your answers or you can discuss them.

Pause the video and discuss these two questions, answering these two questions now.

Welcome back.

Well done for exploring these two questions.

Quite big questions here, where we're thinking about some inference about what the Lintons are like compared to Heathcliff and Catherine, and what Heathcliff thinks about Edgar and Isabella, who are the Lintons, who Heathcliff and Cathy are looking at.

So you might have said, well, beautiful, splendid, shimmering.

These are words from the extract.

They imply wealth.

Heathcliff and Catherine are marvelling over.

It implies they don't have such wealth.

So they are really interested or amazed by the wealth that the Lintons have because they themselves in their own house in Wuthering Heights, they don't have this wealth.

And the second question, why do you think Heathcliff called Edgar and Isabella petted things? What can we infer from this about Heathcliff life? Well, petted things means spoiled.

He despises them.

He says he hates them because they have to argue about who holds the dog.

So they're fighting over who gets to hold this dog, and Heathcliff thinks very little of them.

He calls 'em petted things, as if they're little toys or little animals themselves.

His life is harder, he is stronger.

He feels in them he is not a petted thing.

He is not spoiled.

So a few inferences about the differences between Heathcliff and Cathy and the Lintons.

So a check for understanding, just to consolidate our knowledge of this extract, particularly Chapter 6, Heathcliff and Cathy's observation of the Lintons demonstrates the poverty of the Lintons in comparison.

Is this true or false? Pause the video and select your response now.

Well done if you selected false.

Now, I'd like you to tell me why.

Why is this false? Pause the video and think of your justification.

Why is this statement false? Pause the video now.

Welcome back.

Well done if you said words such as splendid and beautiful, implied that the Lintons live very grandly and in a way that is superior to how the Earnshaws live.

So returning to the extract and thinking, "Well, it can't be that the Lintons live in poverty because actually these words such as splendid and beautiful, they are grander, they are richer than those who live at Wuthering Heights." Well done.

Okay, I would now like you to think that this question, do you think the window is an integral, which means really important, part of the extract? Why or why not? So in both extracts we have this idea of the window.

In Chapter 3, we've got the idea that the ghost of Cathy comes to the window.

And in Chapter 6, we've got the idea that Heathcliff and Cathy are looking through the window.

Now, do you think the window is really important to the extracts? And I'd like you to write a couple of sentences explaining your reasoning.

Now, I'd like you to consider what the window allows the spirit to potentially do in the first extract.

And what the window allows Catherine and Heathcliff to do in the second extract.

So just a few sentences.

Remember, we're just getting to grips with these extracts now.

So starting to consider, is the window an integral part of the extract? Pause the video, write a couple of sentences to explain your reasoning and response to this question using the prompts to help you.

Pause the video now.

Welcome back.

Well done for putting a first words to paper and starting to think about the idea of the window, which, of course, is the focus for our second learning cycle.

Let's do some feedback.

So I'd like you to consider Sofia's answer and consider how well it aligns with your own.

So let's have a look at Sofia's answer.

She says, "I think the windows are an integral part of the extracts, a really important part of the extracts, because they allow the narrative to happen." So they allow the story to happen.

They're part of the plot.

"In extract one," so Chapter 3, "the window seems to be the space where the spirit could be allowed to gain entry." So maybe the spirit could come into the house because they're next to the window, and at that's the place where you can get in and out.

"It's been trying for 20 years, so there must be something as significant about the window for it to be the only available entry point." So they've come to the window, why didn't they come to the door? Sofia is starting to question that a little bit.

Why would they come to the window and not the door? "In extract two, the window allows Heathcliff and Cathy the opportunity to observe other people's lives and to see the reality of how they live and who they are." So in some ways, Heathcliff and Cathy are sort of looking at the Lintons and not quite if they're animals in the zoo, but not too far off and seeing what they are like, what they live like, and observing it.

And it's the window, because a window, of course, is glass so you can see through it that allows 'em to see this other type of life that their neighbours have that they do not have.

So it's a point of comparison.

So a really nice answer.

There might be some ideas that you thought, "Yes, I definitely have those." There might be some slightly different ideas that you would add.

I would like you to hold onto them because I think they'll be really important for learning cycle two.

So we have read the extracts, Chapter 3 and Chapter 6, in learning cycle one, we are now gonna focus on analysing the window motif.

So we started doing a little bit of thinking about it and we're gonna develop that thinking further now.

So Bronte uses several motifs throughout "Wuthering Heights." So this idea that there's an object or a phrase or a thing that comes up time and time again, and it's meant to prompt us to think about the novel's central themes, the novel's central big ideas.

Now, one of the most prominent, so one of the most important is that of the window.

So the window comes up again and again and again.

Now, I'd like you to consider a window, and just think how might we interpret the image of a window? What does it make you think of? Don't overcomplicate this task too much.

This is the starting point and we're gonna develop our idea of the motif of the window.

So how might you interpret the image of a window? What does it make you think of? Pause the video, discuss the question now.

Welcome back.

Some really, really nice ideas.

Some of the ideas I heard going round, threshold space.

So the idea that it's a moment of transition.

So the window itself is neither inside nor outside.

It's sort of both.

So it's this kind of strange threshold space that is neither one thing nor the other.

Confinement or enclosure.

So the idea that a window keeps you in.

So of course you can look into a window, and, of course, you can look out of a window.

But there is this idea that you are confined, you are kept in.

In your house, if you've got a number of windows, they are part of the thing that allows you to see out, but they are also part of the wall structure, part of what keeps you in the house.

Desire for connection, but distance, exclusion.

So the idea of not being part of something.

So you might be able to see the outside or you might be able to see, for example, Heathcliff and Cathy see the Lintons, but they're not part of that family.

They are not part of that world.

They're excluded from it.

There's a class division there.

The Lintons are higher, upper class, more so than Heathcliff and Cathy.

So there's this idea that Heathcliff and Cathy can see what the Lintons are doing, but there is this idea of distance, there was this idea of exclusion.

And finally, exposure, that you can be seen through a window, just as the Lintons are seen, their way of life, their family life is seen by Heathcliff and Cathy.

And Heathcliff has a pretty severe judgement of it.

So these are just some of the ideas that you might have had.

And the idea of this threshold space being neither one thing nor the other, neither inside nor outside, confinement and exclusion, all important to this novel, "Wuthering Heights." So good starting point for us to think about this motif of the window.

Now, let's take a moment to consider a window is a threshold space.

A threshold is a point departure or transition.

I'd like you to discuss what might be the significance between an open and a closed window in a text B then.

So consider what it means to have an open window, what it means to have a closed window, and how could we apply these ideas to a text.

Pause the video, discuss this question now.

Welcome back.

A tricky question here.

It's really nice to hear people exploring this idea of what the significance, what the symbolism of an open window or a closed window might be, how we could apply it to a text.

So Sam says, "Perhaps an open window represents freedom and new opportunities, while the closed window represents confinement and things staying the same?" Now, what I really like is that Sam's capture idea in the word perhaps, so quite tentative.

And then a question mark at the end is are maybe things staying the same.

So that's certainly one idea.

The idea that the open window particularly represents the idea of freedom, new opportunities because an open window allows you to go out, it allows you to leave, whereas a closed window represents its opposite, the idea that you are confined, you are stuck, you are trapped in a particular space.

Now, let's consider how we might apply these ideas to "Wuthering Heights." I'd like you to remember that Heathcliff is an orphan who, at the beginning of the novel, has no wealth or status.

And in order to improve her social status, Catherine marries Edgar Linton.

So the Lintons who they see through the window, this is Catherine's first taste of the upper class life.

She likes it.

And indeed is one of the things that prompts her to marry Edgar Linton.

So when Heathcliff and Cathy are looking at the Lintons through that window, that is a very important moment in her childhood because it does lead to her eventually marrying Edgar Linton and leaving Heathcliff at Wuthering Heights.

Now I'd like you to discuss what do you think Windows might symbolise in Wuthering Heights? So we've got this idea that Heathcliff is an orphan, no wealth or status at the beginning of the novel.

In order to improve her social status, Catherine marries Edgar Linton.

Discuss, what do you think windows might symbolise in "Wuthering Heights"? Pause the video and think about this question, discussing it now.

Welcome back.

A really lovely discussion, applying some really big ideas about the idea of symbolism to this novel, "Wuthering Heights." Now you might have said, "Maybe there's a class or wealth difference." The idea of the window representing that there's a difference between those on one side of the window and those on the other side of the window.

So we've got that really forcibly shown with at the Lintons in their wealthy house and Catherine and Heathcliff looking on.

Distance between people or exclusion.

So again, we have that idea with the Lintons, where they are inside, they are consumed by their wealth, looking at their wealth, and Heathcliff and Cathy are excluded.

Cathy doesn't want to be excluded and ends up marrying Linton, but Heathcliff remains excluded.

And even with the ghost, the ghost is excluded from coming into the house in Chapter 3, she's not able to gain entry.

So there's that idea of exclusion there.

We've got confinement within social spheres.

So at the Lintons, although they are very wealthy, they are confined that house, they're trapped within that house, with Heathcliff and Cathy looking on.

Conversely, we have Heathcliff and Cathy in Wuthering Heights, confined, trapped within Wuthering Heights, which is a more, which is a poorer place to grow up, and feeling a bit trapped within their social spheres, particularly Cathy, who marries to escape that particular social sphere.

Okay, I'd like you to consider where else Bronte uses windows and what they might mean.

So at the beginning of the novel, Wuthering Heights is described as having narrow windows.

So you can see how this idea of windows comes up again and again.

We're only looking at two chapters here.

I'd like you to discuss what does the word narrow suggest you? So really zooming in, looking closely at this word narrow.

Discuss what does the word narrow suggest? Pause the video and discuss the question now.

Welcome back.

A really nice close analysis of this idea.

You might have said small.

So really small, confined.

So if a window is narrow, it's hard to get in or out of.

Limited perspective.

So this was a really nice idea that some people came up with the idea that a narrow window means you can't see that much outside of it.

So maybe it's suggesting something about the people within Wuthering Heights and their perspective on the world.

Really interesting idea there.

Now, I'd like you to discuss what might the narrow windows represent.

If we've got this word, small, confined, limited perspective, if we attach that to the idea narrow windows, what might it suggest? Pause the video and discuss the question now.

Welcome back.

A really nice discussion there.

Let's have a look at what Izzy said.

Maybe it chimes with some of the ideas you came up with.

So Izzy says, "Maybe the characters feel trapped within their social status?" So a narrow window means it's quite hard to escape.

"Or maybe it suggests limited perceptions on the world?" So these are just some of the ideas you might have come up with.

And just like Sam, Izzy is using that tentative language, maybe or maybe it suggests, and then that question mark there.

It's absolutely fine to not be absolutely sure of your ideas when you are reading an extract, when you've just got a small bit of the novel.

The point is to try and tease out some of those meanings.

And you can be tentative.

You can say maybe, perhaps, I think, oh, it could be.

That is a nice way to access and extract from a wider novel.

So in the second extract, Heathcliff and Cathy were looking through the Lintons' window and was subsequently discovered.

Cathy was brought inside while Heathcliff was not invited in.

And Heathcliff said, "I intended shattering their great glass panes to a million of fragments unless they let her out." So Cathy is brought in, but Heathcliff has to remain outside.

Now, I'd like you to discuss Heathcliff and the Lintons are from very different social spheres.

What might shattering the glass represent? So pause the video and discuss this question now.

Welcome back.

A really nice discussion here of this idea of Heathcliff's temper.

He's so angry that he has not been allowed into the Lintons house, while Cathy has been welcomed in.

It is a really difficult moment for this character And some of your discussion suggested.

Let's have a think about some of the ideas that you had.

So Sofia said, "Maybe it represents how Heathcliff would have to shatter the social barriers between them in order to be with Cathy." So absolutely, he's saying, "I want to shatter this window," but actually, that might be a symbol for shattering these social barriers because he is an orphan and he's not rich, unlike the Lintons who are secure in their social status and in their family.

So maybe this idea that he wants to shatter the window is actually a symbol for him wanting to shatter the things that prevent him and Cathy from being together.

Now, I'd like you to discuss this question, because, ultimately, Heathcliff doesn't shatter the glass.

He decides not to do it.

He doesn't shatter the glass, even though he really, really wants to.

And I'd like you to discuss what might that tell us.

If, ultimately, Heathcliff doesn't shatter the glass, he doesn't do it, what might that tell us? Pause the video, discuss the question now.

Welcome back.

A lovely discussion about this moment in the text where Heathcliff is so angry but decides, ultimately, not to shatter the glass.

And Sofia says that he can't overcome the social barriers yet.

This is one of her suggestions.

He's going to be separated from Cathy because he doesn't shatter the glass.

So maybe, and now the glass is separating them, he is now looking on at the Lintons without Cathy, just as they were looking on together shortly before, but now they're not together.

So these are two really, really nice inferences, nice predictions from Sofia.

Again, those question marks showing that she's not quite sure yet, and that is absolutely fine.

We're trying to sort of interpret or guess what Emily Bronte might be suggesting about future events.

But certainly, at this moment, the idea that he can't overcome these social barriers and that maybe he's going to be separated from Cathy.

Now, when Cathy eventually returns to Wuthering Heights from Thrushcross Grange, she stays there for quite a long period of time.

When she eventually returns, Heathcliff runs to the window whilst Nelly runs to the door.

Now, I'd like you to discuss what might Heathcliff watching Cathy through the window on her return represent about their relationship.

So he watches her through the window, he does not come to the door.

What might it represent about their relationship? Pause the video and discuss the question now.

Welcome back.

A really nice discussion here.

People starting to unpick this relationship between Heathcliff and Cathy.

It's a very complicated relationship at the heart of this novel.

So really nice to hear people discussing it already.

So you might have said, just like Laura, "Maybe it represents a new distance between them? That he's now excluded from her life and love?" So before they were both together, they were watching the Lintons through the window, but now Heathcliff is alone.

He is watching Cathy through the window.

And again, Laura like Sam, like Izzy, has used this word maybe, has got a question mark there.

She's just having a tentative approach to this idea of the window motif, and that's absolutely great at this point.

So we check for understanding before we consolidate our our knowledge about the window motif.

Arguably, the narrow windows of Wuthering Heights imply which of the following? A, the freedom that Heathcliff and Cathy enjoy, B, that Heathcliff and Cathy feel somehow trapped, or C, that the residents may have a limited perspective on the world.

Pause the video and select your responses now.

Welcome back.

Well done if you selected B and C.

So there's this idea of confinement, of being trapped, and this idea of limited perspective on the world.

Well done.

Now, we've considered that the following uses of the window motif in Bronte's "Wuthering Heights." We've got the narrow window, confined, trapped inside social spheres.

We've got Heathcliff's desire to shatter the glass for Cathy, represent how we'd have to shatter the social barriers for them to be together.

Heathcliff seeing through the Cathy through the window might represent the distance between them.

At its core, themes of class division are about ideas of exclusion.

So exclusion is explored in lots of these ideas, but most specifically through the exclusion of Heathcliff from the Lintons life.

Originally, Cathy is excluded from that, but then it becomes just Heathcliff who is exclusion from that because Cathy marries one of the Lintons.

Now, we'd like you to discuss which example of the window motif do you think most powerfully represents the idea of exclusion and why.

Discuss this question now.

Welcome back.

A really lovely discussion now.

We've looked at a complicated idea and a complicated novel, and you've shown some brilliant understanding of this idea of the window motif and the idea linking it with exclusion.

Let's do some feedback.

So consider Laura and Izzy's ideas and whose ideas align most closely with yours.

So Laura says, "I think the image of the narrow windows is most powerful because I think it really shows how limited and exclusive the residents' world is." And Izzy says, "I think Heathcliff promised to shatter the glass, but not doing it's the most powerful because it shows how there is a permanent barrier between the two of them." So you might say, "Oh, yeah, absolutely.

I agreed a bit more with Laura.

I really like this idea, the narrow windows.

It's a small moment in the text, but it's really important in terms of understanding that people are having these narrow perspectives within these social spheres." And you or you might agree with Izzy, and say, "Actually, that moment where he wants to shatter the glass and we believe that Heathcliff can do it." And if you read the rest of the novel, you see that Heathcliff has very violent temper and really exerts some force at different points in the novel.

So his idea of not choosing to do it really is significant.

It's the most powerful because it shows there is a permanent barrier between the two of them.

So these are just some of the ideas that you might have come up with in your discussion.

In summary, Bronte uses a window motif throughout "Wuthering Heights." Windows are a threshold space that might represent ideas of confinement, exclusion, and distance.

Arguably, Bronte uses window motifs throughout "Wuthering Heights" in order to represent social divisions.

She may also use windows in order to foreshadow how Heathcliff and Cathy are separated.

It has been such a pleasure to look at this wonderful novel with you today, and I look forward to seeing you next time.
