Observation

Candidates were able to point out supernatural events in the novel. However, most could not identify the riles of these events.

Candidates were expected to discuss:

• The link between the living and dead is one of the major themes explored in the novel.
• Wuthering Heights is a Gothic novel, the prominent features of which include: dark and exotic settings; elements of fear, horror, gloom, suspense and death; mystery and supernatural beings.
• Lockwood’s experience at Wuthering Heights when he spends a night there.
• Heathcliff’s encounters with Catherine’s ghost.
• The sighting of the ghost of Heathcliff by the village folk.

• Significance of the supernatural: enhances the plot; explains the events and the attitudes of characters towards these events.

Candidates performed well.
