The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

Style and Technique

«The Tenant of Wildfell Hall» by Anne Brontë is a novel in the form of letters and diary entries, which brings the reader closer to the inner world of the characters and provides a deep understanding of their experiences and motivations. The work is marked by concise and precise language through which the author conveys complex emotions and social issues of the time. Brontë used dialogues and internal monologues to reveal the characters' personalities, while landscapes and descriptions of nature serve not just as a backdrop for the action but as a reflection of the characters' inner states. The structure of the novel, divided into two parts, allows the reader to first get acquainted with the main characters from the perspective of a secondary character and then delve into the depth of the plot through the diary entries of one of the main characters. Anne Brontë also sharply critiques the society of her time, addressing themes of women's independence, alcoholism, and the problem of moral choice, making her work an important voice in 19th-century literature.
