Example: Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights creates two contrasting moods.
Narrative is used in two contrasting settings a depressing mood is created to describe the first setting:
"There was no moon, and everything beneath lay in misty darkness: not a light gleamed from any house, far or near all had been extinguished long ago: and those at Wuthering Heights were never visible..."
On the other hand, the description of the second setting creates a juxtaposing quiet and peaceful mood:
"Gimmerton chapel bells were still ringing: and the full, mellow flow of the beck in the valley came soothingly on the ear. It was a sweet substitute for the yet absent murmur of the summer foliage, which drowned that music about the Grange when the trees were in leaf."
