What type of writing style was characteristic of Emily Bronte’s works?

  1. Romanticism

  2. Gothic

  3. Realism

  4. Expressionism

The correct answer is: Gothic

Emily Bronte's writing style was characterized by the use of dark, supernatural elements, and a strong sense of melancholy, making her a Gothic writer. A, Romanticism, focuses more on nature and emotion, while C, Realism, emphasizes an accurate depiction of everyday life. D, Expressionism, is a more modern literary movement that was not prevalent during Bronte's time. Therefore, these options are incorrect as they do not align with the themes and elements found in Emily Bronte's works.
