Literature teachers and literature lovers.
Reading Wuthering Heights is a trip into the various forms of love: unconditional, romantic, self-sacrificing, unrequited. It is the aim of this course to help students find "love" as the invisible but palpable thread that unites all the characters in the novel. Besides, love may help our students understand better the different decisions that the characters make.
Character description and character analysis in reference to love.
Love relations and how they determine the plot.
Untimely love, unrequited love: consequences in the characters' lives.
The Gothic and the Romantic in Wuthering Heights, how is love expressed under both genres.
Workshop: participants will be encouraged to participate and express their own views on the novel. The idea is that after all the discussion mentioned in the objectives and the experience shared by both teachers and facilitator, we will be able to devise different activities to suit the demands of the international examination.
