This 5 page paper outlines some of the themes and elements relative to characterizations in Victorian literautre. Throughout Victorian literature, the view of the other, of a character who is an outcast or outsider in Victorian society, has been played an important role in creating conflict and contrast. Heathcliff of Wuthering Heights, Little Dorrit’s Rigaud and Fosco in The Woman in White are all examples of the Other, and all of these characters have a significant power or a supernatural sensibility that separates them from other characters. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
