Abstract: One of the most striking characteristics in Wuthering Heights is the accurately handling of the time by Emily Bronte. The novel boils down all the elements making up the fully and precisely created setting. With a skilful handling, Emily demonstrates her meticulous text time and story time in the novel; with time crisscrossing, the plot is developed; with order reversing, the theme is heightened. Her description of the weather and seasons symbolizes the feelings and actions of the characters, making the setting vivid and full of dramatic effects, enhancing the vigorous quality and profundity of this startlingly original novel. In the limited space and time, the past and present is integrated in a trance.
