Writing Style:
Bronte uses a lot of Foreshadowing in this book which is helpful to the reader in understanding the plot. Her good descriptions and detailed diction provides imagery. Her tone throughout the whole book is mysterious and dark, we don't know a whole lot about the characters backgrounds they kind of just appear and it makes you wonder why they are like they way they
