Notable as important nineteenth-century novels by women, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights treat women very differently. Shelley produced a
“masculine” text in which the fates of subordinate female characters seem entirely dependent
on the actions of male heroes or anti-heroes. Bronte produced a more realistic narrative,
portraying a world where men battle for the favors of apparently high-spirited, independent
women. Nevertheless, these two novels are alike in several crucial ways. Many readers are
convinced that the compelling mysteries of each plot conceal elaborate structures of allusion
and fierce, though shadowy, moral ambitions that seem to indicate metaphysical intentions,
though efforts by critics to articulate these intentions have generated much controversy. Both
novelists use a storytelling method that emphasizes ironic disjunctions between different
perspectives on the same events as well as ironic tensions that inhere in the relationship
between surface drama and concealed authorial intention, a method I call an evidentiary
narrative technique.

(A) defend a controversial interpretation of two novels
(B) explain the source of widely recognized responses to two novels
(C) delineate broad differences between two novels
(D) compare and contrast two novels
(E) criticize and evaluate two novels

个人觉得，如果是D的话，文章应该比较它们的不同点与相同点，而通篇文章基本上都在把它们看做整体（除了分别描述它们研究什么）
