The reader, a passive observer, reads through the events taking place in Wuthering Heights and is powerless to change anything. Their inputs do nothing to the events in the books, and the reader is powerless.
The characters within Wuthering Heights can do nothing, they are plagued constantly with illnesses and death, two forces which are all-powerful and difficult if not impossible to stop. The building Wuthering Heights is an emotional anchor, dragging all of the characters towards an inevitable doom.
The paths which everyone walk are predestined. Free will is an illusion, especially towards those involved with Wuthering Heights.
