Question

Which of the following is NOT a theme in Wuthering Heights?

• A. Revenge
• B. Supernatural
• C. Urbanization
• D. Love

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Urbanization

Wuthering Heights is set in the remote Yorkshire moors, far from city life, and its characters are deeply connected to the natural and rural environment. The theme of urbanization—the growth and development of cities and industrial life—is not explored in the novel.

Here are the major themes that are present:

• Revenge: Central to Heathcliff's actions throughout the story.

• Supernatural: Ghosts, dreams, and eerie events appear (like Catherine's ghost).

• Love: Deep, destructive, and obsessive love—especially between Catherine and Heathcliff.
