Gweneth Dunleavy describes much of the supernatural in Emily s Wuthering Heights as the lack of established borders between life and death because the main characters communicate as ghosts and in dreams through the veil of time, in a setting that simultaneously assumes supernatural qualities (250).

- ... animals. Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Romans 1:26-27 For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one.
