How Are English Moors Described In Wuthering Heights What Role Do They Play In The Novel?

Wuthering Heights takes place in a remote part of the Yorkshire moors. The titular Wuthering Heights is an isolated farmhouse overlooking the wild and windy moors where the novel’s action takes place. We are introduced to Wuthering Heights when bad weather obliges Lockwood, the novel’s narrator, to stay the night there.
The Yorkshire moors are a barren, inhospitable place where only the toughest plants and people can survive. Like with trees which grow near Wuthering Heights, the people who live there are warped and twisted by the harsh climate.
Gimmerton is the nearest town and provides the location for characters like Mr. Kenneth, the doctor, and Mr. Green, the lawyer. Liverpool is a distant port city associated with the dark, foreign, gypsy child, Heathcliff. But more important than any sense of a city center are the regional markers and sights, such as the "golden rocks" of Penistone Crags, black hollows, bleak hilltops, bilberry bushes, moonlit scenery, miles of heath, and winding roads. It's easy to get lost in this barren landscape, especially in the snow. The feelings of desolation and confusion provoked by the setting strongly contribute to the tone of the novel.
Weather plays a big role and tends to reflect some of the desolate attitudes of the characters. The landscape can be pitiless and forbidding — as with Lockwood's snowbound night at the Heights — or a Garden of Eden-like escape from the tyrannies of the home — as with the rambles young Catherine and Heathcliff take in order to avoid Hindley's cruelty.
