CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF SETTING It can be said of Bronte’s novel that the bleak and barren landscape of the Yorkshire moorland acts as a metaphor for the uncertain moral landscape in which the characters live and the two houses are structural oppositions. Although only four miles apart, the characters often lose their way going between the two and the journey is often dangerous and problematic. The difficulty of movement between, and access to, the settings demonstrate the themes of the novel.
