Wuthering Heights
In Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte uses the presence of light to create a distinction between the emotions displayed that are intended by nature and the sentiments that are displayed as a pretense to cover true emotions.

True emotions cannot be changed or guided just as the light from Nature is outside human control. Whereas

Wyrd
1.31.07 The word “wyrd” has come along way from its original Anglo-Saxon use, derived from the Old English verb weorюan, which means “to become.” It relates to the modern day phrase “in turn” for its use to begin something while turning back or referring to something old.
