In Mrs Dalloway, death is presented as an inevitable part of life that permeates everyday
reality. It remains to be something that leaves grief, suffering and misery to the ones left
behind after the loss. In Bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights, ghosts of passion roam the
moors for 18 years whereas Woolf focuses on ghosts of war dead impersonal characters
being the source of grief. Death is also presented through both novels as a cause of
resentment within relationships whether through tired, agitative and fatigued marriage or a
relationship mourned without ever getting the chance to begin. Lastly, both authors explore
the way that love changes a person through the death of one’s past self-reflecting on
whether their lives have changed for the better or worse.
Both Bronte and Woolf use death to indirectly focus novels on grief, starting with the way
that ghosts of passion who once roamed the moors. It is the lingering spirits and forbidden
love of Heathcliff and Catherine locked in eternal brace and the ghostly wanderings of
menacing spirits that inhabit the moors,
