Abstract
This paper focuses on the interplay of romantic and gothic elements in the two
most famous novels of Charlotte and Emily Brontё: Jane Eyre and Wuthering
Heights. Special attention is paid to the metamorphoses of the Byronic hero in
those novels as well as to the presence of supernatural and gothic elements in
them. At the beginning, the paper discusses the Byronic heroes in the two novels
Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights and their characteristic features as Byronic heroes. I likewise identify other types of Byronic heroes in Jane Eyre. The following
chapters are concerned with the supernatural and gothic elements in Wuthering
Heights and Jane Eyre starting with an introduction of Gothicism, its appearance
and development. I further consider the question of whether Wuthering Heights is
gothic or realist. Having in mind the subtypes of Gothicism, I place Jane Eyre in
the group of new gothic romances which is confrmed by many critics.
