- Wuthering Heights is an epiphany of romantic literature. An outstanding aspect of romanticism is the presence of supernatural and unexplainable events. An example of this in Wuthering Heights was the bedroom scene when Lockwood is sleeping. The ghost scene served as an omen because the experience was both supernatural and unexplainable. Another example of romanticism in this novel is the isolation from society. Romantics idealize country life and believe that many of the ills of society are a result of urbanization. This explains the setting of the novel which is in an isolated society. However, although the characters are away from urbanization, there are still problems within the setting, inflicted by the characters, rather than the result of urbanization.
