Chapter 14. An Assault
Explanation and Analysis:

The style of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is deeply related to its unique structure. Volume 1 of the novel consists of a long letter from Gilbert to his brother-in-law Jack Halford plus a few entries from Helen’s diary that Gilbert has included in the letter; Volume 2 is entirely made up of entries from Helen’s diary entries; and Volume 3 concludes Helen’s diary entries, followed by Gilbert detailing recent events in his letter to Jack (in which he also copies letters that Helen has written to him) and ultimately ends the novel by signing off on his letter.
