What type of literature best describes the novel Wuthering Heights?

Fantasy
Romance
Science Fiction
Gothic

The correct answer is: Gothic

Wuthering Heights is a novel that is known for its dark, eerie and haunting atmosphere. It deals with themes of death, revenge, and the supernatural. This is why the correct answer is gothic. Fantasy, Science Fiction and Romance do not accurately describe the tone and themes of the novel. Fantasy typically involves imaginary settings or creatures, while Science Fiction deals with futuristic or scientific elements. Romance focuses on love and relationships, rather than the dark and mysterious themes seen in Wuthering Heights.
