Cathy, the protagonist of Emily Bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights, is often portrayed as a wild and untamed character. Cathy is depicted wandering across the moors in a brocade gown adorned with embroidered black birds. The dress is a stark contrast to the rugged landscape around her, emphasizing her refinement and elegance. Despite her refined appearance, Cathy’s presence on the moors is still somewhat unsettling. She seems to blend in seamlessly with the dark and foreboding landscape, hinting at her own dark and mysterious nature. The dress, with its intricate embroidery and classical design, serves to further emphasize Cathy’s complexity and depth as a character. Overall, the image of Cathy on the moors in her brocade gown with embroidered black birds is a powerful and evocative one, capturing the essence of this iconic literary character.
