SPEECH is PERSONALITY: A Pragmastylistic study of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights

SPEECH IS PERSONALITY is a pragmastylistic analysis of the speech of the two main characters in Emily Bront‰'s Wuthering Heights namely Heathcliff and Mr. Lockwood. The author believes that speech is a key to understand one?s personality. The advantage of this approach of analysis is that characters are not evaluated impressionistically but according to their choices of words and structures. These choices are determined by one?s upbringing and education. In addition they reveal one?s feelings and temperament. In a nutshell conducting a character analysis based on concrete and tangible pieces of evidence supported by statistics will actually yield convincing and unbiased characterization which is an essential part of performing a literary appreciation of literary works.
