The research conducted in this paper will concern the development of the Gothic trope of hauntings in a comparative analysis of two gothic novels, Wuthering Heights (1847) by Emily Brontë and The Haunting of Hill House (1959) by Shirley Jackson. The analysis will focus on how hauntings of various forms are presented and what they represent in the two texts before and after the development of psychoanalytical studies, particularly Sigmund Freud’s conceptualization of “Das Unheimliche”. The analysis will be supported by cultural and historical notions and background scholarship.
