There are a couple of really neat symmetrical elements about the book. I'm not sure what they add up to.
Anyway, remember how I was saying just a while ago that Catherine was reinterprets life events in novelistic, especially Udolpho-like terms back in Book one? She has an experience and then she imagines it in Gothic terms. Well, in book two, that reverses. From here on in, she will first imagine upcoming events in Gothic novel terms and then the actual experience will fail to live up to her imaginings.
