The Fantasy stories of Emily Brontë Who would have ever thought that from making up stories and creating fantasy worlds could become something big in the present even if sometimes we don’t get to experience the gift we left behind. As I read about the life of Emily Brontë, that she lived a quiet life along with her siblings it reminded me of how I live my life.

The only one she labeled was “Gondal Poems”; the others she did not label. On an autumn season her sister Charlotte discovered her notebooks Emily was very aggravated by this because she had invaded her personal belongings. Her sister insisted on her to publish them, but Emily retained herself on not doing it. Even though most of Emily’s writings were shared with sisters Charlotte and Anne; she does have a novel that she published in 1847 called Wuthering Heights. During this time her novel did not gain any success or popularity while still alive she probably felt as a total failure as a writer. What she never knew is that only after her dead this novel would be developed as a literary masterpiece. Emily died of tuberculosis on December 19, 1848, just as her other siblings died of before her. It is said that a few months after, her brother passed away and years later her little sister Anne of the same disease. Here are some of Emily’s lasts words according to The Literature Network, “those eyes shall make my only day, shall set my spirit free, and chase the foolish thoughts away that mourn your memory.” (C.D Merriman)
Therefore, most of Brontë’s poems were created out of a fantasy world she shared with her sisters. In the book The Seagull Reader “Poems” it says “ nearly all that remains of this byzantine world are her poems, so we know very little about
