1. In attempting to resolve the mystery embedded in the story of Wuthering Heights by Emile Brontë, one feels obliged to make interpretations rendered hermeneutically blind with regard to the narrative of the story comprising the text. When reading Wuthering Heights, the reader perceives ellipses or gaps in the novel's narrative. The reader must, however, still frame a reading of the novel, which lacks a narrative center. These prolonged moments of indeterminacy allow the reader to respond by concretizing an imagined account of what has not been conveyed. The main narrators, Lockwood and Nelly, displayed a limited perspective on the events narrated, which is questionable as there is a great deal of turmoil underlying the narration and events narrated. In order to compensate for this loss in the storyline, the reader replaces it through interpretation and imagination, thus crafting a reading despite the many instances of narrative absence present throughout the text. These moments of non-transmission classify Wuthering Heights as a story of transmission. An example of this is presented at one point in Nelly's narrative, during which she skips three years, the period during which Heathcliff had disappeared. The removal of this narrative provided me with a unique opportunity to fill this narrative gap between the time of Heathcliff's disappearance and Nelly's intradiegetic narration.2. To maintain a high level of authenticity in the construction of this fan fiction, I ensured as best I could, that the genre, form, style and characterization used in the fan fiction mimicked those of Emily Bronte. Wuthering Heights can be classified as a Gothic novel. It was designed to both horrify and f...... middle of paper ......ude that Heathcliff is a well-educated, 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 portraying a side of him that is not always displayed, thus attempting to compel the reader. sympathize with him. This is similar to Bronte's writing style as she dictates the story in a way that avoids drawing our sympathy and interest away from the more savage characters such as Heathcliff, tending to portray the more civilized characters as despicable and weak. my fan fiction in order to emulate the genre, form, style, and characterization of Wuthering Heights, I have maintained a high level of authenticity, while simultaneously filling one of the novel's narrative absences.
