Amazing post. I read WH not too long ago, but this still helped recontextualise the entire story. I've just finished reading Watchmen from Alan Moore, and in that graphic novel, isolation also works as a major theme, all characters in the book are isolated in that narrative, whether its the loneliness that Daniel feels, or the self-imposed isolation of Dr Manhattan and Rorschach. I think its interesting that Moore seems to relate isolation with withering humanity, whilst Daniel ends the novel with someone by his side, Dr Manhattan and Rorschach don't, and its made a point how withdrawn Dr Manhattan is and how he considers humanity a triviality, and how "uncivil" and "strange" Rorschach is. I think it's interesting to look at isolation like this in WH, how "inhumane" Heathcliff and Catherine I act in in their most isolated moments.

Thank you for reading!!
I don't know this book you're talking about but I'm definitely going to check it out, that sounds interesting.
Also, I hope you liked Wuthering Heights.
