This essay deals with the narrative structure of Emily Brontë’s 1847 Wuthering Heights. This famously dark and tumultuous novel has two narrators, the just-arrived country tenant Lockwood and Mrs. Dean, a housekeeper with a long story to tell. Mrs. Dean’s narrative is situated within and framed by Lockwood’s as he is the primary and she the secondary narrator. The concept of framing is of interest for this essay in several ways. Firstly, it considers how Lockwood as the intended recipient of Mrs. Dean’s narrative causes it to unfold the way it does, and secondly how both of their narratives combine to frame other characters in the novel, the most famous ones being Catherine and Heathcliff. The essay argues that both the narrators can be termed discordant, narrators who are “biased or confused” (Cohn 2000, 307) about the story they are telling. This is because they are similar in the way of wanting to suppress strong emotion while the characters whose lives they narrate, Heathcliff and Catherine, are strongly emotional characters. This causes the narration to remain distant from the subjects it concerns. Heathcliff and Catherine are further linked to two Romantic themes, personal authenticity in love and the high status of passion. Mrs. Dean in particular gives rise to Christian sentiments, and the essay finds a conflict between the Christian striving for a final end in the form of heaven and the Romantic high value placed on earthly striving in and of itself. It argues that the discordant narratory framing and dissimilarity of Heathcliff and Catherine to the narrators allow them to become more Romantic, and that the novel finally constitutes a love letter to the earth without God, with its abundance of human striving.  The essay uses narratological terminology adapted from Bal (2017) to describe different levels of narrative, namely narrative text, story, and fabula.
