    Have you ever read a book where you had difficulty following the characters and events and the order of the book? Well, you must have come across this gothic novel called “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Bronte. It combines more than one element of a gothic novel: madness, obsession and villainous heroes. The novel revolves around the two similar love stories of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff and the young Catherine Linton and Hareton Earnshaw. The pattern of this book is full of doubles and repetitions; it has two protagonists as previously mentioned, Catherine and Heathcliff, two narrators, Mr. Lockwood and Nelly, and two houses, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange.
