COMMENT ON THE NARRATIVE TECHNIQUE OF WUTHERING HEIGHTS.

Various modes of narrating a Story :_ There  are various modes of telling a story in which the most  common and most familiar which are mainly presented by the authors are the first person narrative method, the third person narrative method  and the ‘Epistolary’ or ‘Documentary’ method. In the ‘Third Person’ narrative method, the author Supplies all the information about the Characters and incidents, although he is not a participant. Unlike the ‘Third Person’ narrative method, in the ‘First Person’ narrative method the story is related not by the author himself, but by a Character inside the story. The remaining one is the method of narrating a story through letters Written by Characters inside the Story to one another. This method is called the ‘Epistolary’ or ‘Documentary’ method.

Complicated narrative method by Emily Bronte in Wuthering Heights: - The narrative method which Emile Bronte has employed in her novel Wuthering Heights is Complex and complicated. The story is related mostly by a character, Nelly Dean, a Servant in the two families presented in the novel. She was an eyewitness of most of the incidents occurring in the novel, and she subsequently describes to Mr. Lockwood what she saw and heard. Obviously the method employed in the novel is narration by character inside the story, commonly known as the first person narrative method. But if we carefully analyze the story, we will find that the narrator in the novel is not uniformly the same person. Though Emile Bronte has employed the narrative method of the first person; yet the narration passes on from one Character to the other. This is called the technique of ‘’ narrative at several removes ‘’ which Joseph Conrad, has very skillfully employed in his novels. Besides, introducing the letters to develop the story, she has also employed the ‘’Documentary’’ also known as ‘’Epistolary’’ method, first employed by Richardson in his novels....................................................................................................................................................
