Characteristics of the Sub Genre: Prose

Okay I'm pretty lazy right now and don't really wanna type so I'm doing this in point form. Structure and narration are huge things in prose so CAPE likes to ask a lot of questions on it. Even if they don't outwardly ask you to talk about it, you mention it as a technique the writer uses or something, so it ends up coming up anyway...so KNOW it.

Wuthering Heights:
Gothic

• Supernatural Elements (Cathy's ghost, superstition)
• Gloomy Setting (the moors were described as a "misanthropist's heaven" how much more depression do you want? architecture falls under this too)
• Strong, emotional (sometimes even a tad bit melodramatic) characters like Catherine and Heathcliff, i believe the word they like to use is passionate?
• Anti Heroes (and heroines!) this is a protagonist that doesn't exactly have any virtuous qualities about them like what typical heros have (Catherine was a selfish little brat and Heathcliff was a vengeful ass) 

Brown Girl, Brownstones:
Bildungsroman

• a bildungsroman is a coming of age novel (follows the protagonist from a child to an adult)
• revolves around the conflict the protagonist goes through when trying to find their identity.
• conflict can be family related or response to the wider society
• novel ends with the protagonist's assessment of themselves and their place in society
