Significance Of Thresholds In The Work Of Bronte And Shelley :
[ send me this paper ]
The idea behind a threshold is threefold it separates the space between what lies on one side of the door and the other, it stops the door from swinging between those same spaces and it forms the base for the frame of the door. The analogy of a door is a popular one for understanding life, whether fictional representations of life or real life. Doors open into new spaces, experiences and knowledge. This 7 page paper examines the stories of Jane Erye, by Charlotte Bronte, Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte, and Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, and argues that there is at least one incident where a character 'stands at the threshold' of a decision that will change their life.
