1.In an attempt to solve the mystery embedded in the plot of Wuthering Heights by Emile Bronte, one feels forced to give hermeneutically blind interpretations regarding the narrative of the story it composes the text. While reading Wuthering Heights, the reader perceives ellipses or gaps in the narrative of the novel. The reader must however frame a reading of the novel, which lacks a narrative centre. These prolonged moments of indeterminacy allow the reader to respond by concretizing an imaginary account of what was not conveyed. The main narrators, Lockwood and Nelly, show a limited perspective on the events narrated, which is questionable as there is a great unrest underlying the narrative and the events narrated. To compensate for this loss in the plot, the reader replaces it with interpretation and imagination, thus constructing a reading despite the numerous instances of narrative absence present throughout the text. These moments of non-transmission classify Wuthering Heights as a narrative of transmission. An example of this is shown at a point in Nelly's narrative during which he skips three years, the period during which Heathcliff had disappeared. The withdrawal of this story provided me with a unique opportunity to bridge this narrative gap between the moment of Heathcliff's disappearance and Nelly's intradiegetic narrative.2. To maintain a high level of authenticity in the construction of this fan fiction, I made sure as best I could that the genre, form, style, and characterization used within the fan fiction mimicked that of Emily Bronte. Wuthering Heights can be classified as a Gothic novel. It was designed to both horrify and annoy... middle of paper... demonstrate that Heathcliff is a cultured, sophisticated, and literate gentleman. It also reveals Heathcliff's innermost thoughts and reflections, so that the reader can better understand the character of Heathcliff, who cares for Catherine, thus describing a side of him that is not always shown, thus attempting to force the reader sympathize with him. This is similar to Bronte's writing style in that he dictates the story in such a way as to avoid drawing our sympathy and interest away from the more savage characters such as Heathcliff, tending to portray the more civilized characters as despicably foolish and weak. my fan fiction to imitate the genre, form, style and characterization of Wuthering Heights, I have maintained a high level of authenticity, while at the same time filling one of the novel's narrative absences.
