How does repetition help a story? 📚
In Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë repeats charged words and phrases to mirror obsession, heighten emotional intensity, and make readers feel trapped in the same cycles of passion and turmoil as the characters. 💔
@frederick_atkinson explores how the technique makes this classic novel feel claustrophobic, haunting, and unforgettable. 🥀

I was watching my friend's son puse finger paints when I suddenly noticed him putting globs in his mouth. Turns out the paint was comestible — our #WordOfTheDay meaning “edible.” 🎨 What’s a surprising word you’ve learned?
We hate to break it to you but… “literally” has been used figuratively for over 100 years in everyday conversation. 😅
By the 1800s, writers like Charles Dickens were already using it for emphasis. It didn’t lose its original meaning — it just picked up a second role as an intensifier.
How do you use “literally”?
The trash was overflowing, so when my wrapper fell straight to the floor instead of staying in the basket, my roommate just smiled and said, “verbum sap,” and took it out. Our #WordOfTheDay means “no more needs to be said.” 🗑️ Send this to someone who loves Latin phrases and words.
