Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights is a Gothic novel set in 19th century Yorkshire. It deals with the "supernatural" such as ghosts and dark villainous characters. It is also fiction as it deals with the likes of relationships and class.

The dialogue in Wuthering Heights differs. It is used to create scenes between Heathcliff and someone else. We can see from Heathcliff’s dialogue that he is an angry and bitter character. It helps to portray his traits rather than someone else describing him. Wuthering Heights elderly servant Joseph speaks in a thick Yorkshire accent making hiss dialogue almost impossible to decipher, but again it sets the scene and makes the setting more convincing.

Wuthering Heights is a narrative story. Bronte cleverly uses two completely different people to tell Catherine and Heathcliff's story. A young man from London, an outsider called Lockwood narrates for the beginning and end of the story and Ellen “Nelly” Dean, Thrushcross Grange’s trusted housekeeper tells the rest of the story. By using two points of views, it involves human nature to the story as it tells us the story through different people’s opinions and social class. The story’s not told in chronological order as it’s told like an actual story so it includes various flashbacks.
