What Wuthering Heights Looks Like

I think it’s interesting to see the great lengths to which Emily Bronte goes to describe Wuthering Heights, the manor where Heathcliff lives. It is already evident from the first three pages of the book that Bronte is obsessed with providing minute details of everything and anything. If there is a movie made about this book (it seems there is at least one) then I’m sure the set designers had no problem deciding what to put on the set and what props to have because of the precise descriptions Bronte gives us. For example, she describes the kitchen at Wuthering Heights so thoroughly that we even learn that the chairs are green and high-backed with a handful of black chairs “lurking in the shade.” The background on my laptop switches every 30 seconds and the castle below is one of the images and I think it kind of captures my first impression of what Wuthering Heights looked like (based on the description and the term “wuthering” which referred to the weather apparently) as well as the skies surrounding the home. It also reflects the attitude of Heathcliff - dark and surly.
