Wuthering Heights is a fictional location in Emily Brontë’s novel of the same name. The meaning of the word "wuthering" is provided by Mr Lockwood, one of the novel’s two primary narrators: "Wuthering" [is] a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather. Pure, bracing ventilation they must have up there at all times, indeed. One may guess the power of the north wind blowing over the edge by the excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the house, and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun."
