Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to present a stylistic analysis and description of the symbolic use of nature in the representation of characters in Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights" and Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre." Jane Eyre (1848) and Wuthering Heights (1847) are some of the well-known classic novels from the Victorian Age in the 19th century. Another purpose of the study is to compare the two novels basing on the symbolic use of nature in character representation as well as a comparison of the style and stylistic elements. Also, a comparison of the literary structure of the two novels and the plot is presented. The study takes a literary stylistic approach; hence, a theoretical framework for this study is based on the Systematic Linguistic Function theory (SFL). Besides, the thesis is descriptive and explorative in nature; therefore a qualitative research design is adopted for the study. The primary method of the analysis is through stylistic approach where the different elements of style and stylistics in the novels are analyzed and compared. One of the key findings of the study shows that Charlotte and Emily Brontë used the elements of nature such as storms, wind, moorlands, and fire to represent the attitudes, feelings as well as the events that transpire throughout the novels.
