Question: In Wuthering Heights does the rain represent anything important!?

I noticed how it frequently rained whenever it mentioned Heathcliff and Catherine!. I didn't know if the rain was symbolic of their relationship or not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I noticed that too!
I always thought that maybe since Healthcliff and Cathy were so mean to each other that their relationship represented that of a thunderstorm!. Like they would fight, and the anger would be like thunder!. But then rain can also be sad and it would reflect their deep sadness!. Then at the end of a thunderstorm, all is quiet and serene with broken pieces everywhere, which is like after both of them die!. All is calm but still broken!.

i could be reading too much into it!. but that's always what i thought!. hope i helped!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The rain, the moor, the location of the house!.!.!. all of these served to symbolize isolation and a kind of obsessive secretiveness, the kind that's hard to leave behind with a 'clean break' for anyone new to the scene!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It usually represets the mood but can sometimes recommend a change, like a new leaf!. It can also sometimes mean cleansing and sometimes mean washing away sins!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's pathetic fallacy!. The rain represents the characters' emotions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Rain usually represents cleansing - purity!. Pax-CWww@QuestionHome@Com
