Lesson details
Key learning points
- Arguably, Brontë conveys the concept of exclusion through the descriptions of the windows in 'Wuthering Heights'.
- Brontë uses the physical description of the window to show this idea of exclusion to the reader.
- Brontë also considers how the character interacts with the window in order to create that sense of exclusion.
- To craft your own motifs, you might begin by asking what emotion or concept it is you want to portray.
