2.In what ways does the Wuthering Heights inspect and resist the sererotypes of the Victorian age?

The novel has a set of psychological and behavioural enigmas that unsettle values and readers in Victorian age. It takes shibboleths of Victorian ideological custom and exposes them: the family is revealed as an unstable and in some respects vicious unit; catefories of consistent behaviour and secure moral codes crumble; acts of moral benevolence are shown to have enormously disruptive consequences; violence overrides charity and tolerance; the apparently clear psychological opposites of pleasure and pain, love and hate, aggression and affection, are hopelessly tangled; boundary experiences between living and dying, health and illness, consciousness and unconsciousness, dream and waking, are perturbed.

3.What do you think of the narrative mode of this novel?

The two major narrators, male and female, southerner and northerner, outsider and insider, master and servant, narrate in a volatile rhythm, the one fading into the other, diffusing themselves in a neutral authorial voice, dividing again in recurrent dialogue.
