Hareton Earnshaw

Freud’s notion of the uncanny is undoubtedly evident in Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. The romance between Catherine and Heathcliff can most certainly be described as uncanny as they have an unquestionable love for one another yet they betray each other’s souls by choosing to marry others. However, both characters selfishly continue their relationship, ignoring their marriages which is sufficient evidence to suggest how much of an inseparable bond they share. The appearance of Catherine as a…

as a redeemable character because of the sympathy the reader feels for her. Her father, Edgar, dies and she gets kidnapped and forced by Heathcliff to marry Linton and this causes the reader to like her because she is tormented by these events.

He was born neglected by his father…

Who would have thought a woman with so many tragedies and disadvantages in her life could use it to her advantage and write such a beautiful novel, Wuthering Heights, that teaches so many lessons by following Heathcliff, one of the main characters? Emily Bronte was an extremely talented woman without even a formal college degree who didn’t let even the biggest challenges in life bring her down. She would be the one to set an example for women authors to come (“Brontes”). Emily Bronte was born…

standing and property hold went as one. In the opening of the story, the Earnshaws stand for the lower class living at Wuthering Heights. The Lintons, at Thrushcross Grange, represent the high class. The social characteristic and non-violent nature of the characters like Lintons is also voice of Victorian norms. But violence is clearly a negative answer to Victorian family ideals. The characters of Cathy Linton the younger, Hareton, and Linton, represent the late Victorian era. The awareness of…

Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights was deemed radical during its Victorian age: presenting racially ambiguous characters, asexual…

If one’s poor behavior is derived from years of abuse is it that person’s fault their behavior is poor? Meursault, the main character from Albert Camus’s The Stranger is an emotionally detached man, who lacks empathy and does not react the way most would in emotional settings. Heathcliff, from Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights is an angry man, with a complicated love-life. Due to the actions and personalities of these characters, they are often disliked. Although both are disliked, Heathcliff’s…

Emily Bronte was a genius of her time when it came to writing. She came to be known by her controversial novel Wuthering Heights and the quiet nature she had. Anyone just looking at her or spending time with her wouldn’t even realize she was such a talented writer. Wuthering Heights was a jewel and parallel to her life in many ways. By looking at Wuthering Heights, one can see that Emily Bronte included themes of revenge, love, loneliness, and death because she was trying to get away from a dull…
