ove as a concept is a uniquely human experience. The amount of music, movies, and books written on the subject would seem to think that love has been figured out by society. However, Love is not so easily understood. The couples of Wuthering Heights each show a different aspect of love that helps define what it is. Catherine and Edgar’ relationship is one of traditional courtship, status, and security. Heathcliff and Isabella’s relationship is a tale of misshapen love and a revenge plot on sour.…

comes to mind is the partnership of country music stars and hip-hop artists or classic musicians. Each of their genres have unique followings, and when they work together it draws a bigger crowd. For example, Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise” features Nelly, Dierks Bentley collaborated with Del McCoury and the Punch Brothers for his hit, “Pride (In the Name of Love)”, and Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga’s latest album, “Cheek to Cheek”. In addition to country music, crossover music can be found in one…

Emily Brontë was born in Yorkshire, England in 1818, where the setting of her novel, Wuthering Heights, is located. The moors in Yorkshire are personified within the novel as a bad place, brought up because of Brontë’s childhood growing up in the area. In addition, the town of Haworth, where Emily’s family moved soon after her birth, was seen as a very poor town, leaving all the children to play within the moors. Brontë always longed to be in the moors because of the sense of freedom associated…

The theme of insiders and outsiders plays an important role in Wuthering Heights. The main determining factor of what makes a person an insider or outsider is social class. This is demonstrated through Heathcliff. Heathcliff is considered an outsider because he is of a lower social class then most of the people around him. When he and Catherine are caught outside Thrushcross Grange, he is told he looks and out-and-outer (61) and shortly sent on his way. Catherine stayed and was taught to be more…

The novel Wuthering Heights provides some interesting themes to ponder on. The complexity and strangeness of the story leaves a lot of it to be deciphered by the reader, instead of just placed on the pages in front of them. It is also interesting to see also how the characters interact and wind up in many cases rather similar to another. It seems that everyone in the book has a duplicate in some form or another. In the instance of Heathcliff and Hareton Earnshaw, their similarities are very…

For instance, Hindley refers to Heathcliff as an “it” and “imp of Satan”, hoping “that he [Hindley’s horse] may break your [Heathcliff’s] neck (Bronte 43),”. Heathcliff never responds to the abuse outwardly, and Nelly Dean is “surpassed to witness how coolly the child gathered himself up, and went on with his intention (Bronte 44)”. Although Heathcliff appears to present a stoic facade throughout the abuse, he is “trying to settle how I [Heathcliff] shall pay Hindley…

The end of many relationships is caused by a variety of factors in Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, My Last Duchess by Robert Browning, and Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe. Some people may believe that social class is the cause of the downfall of these relationships. Social class, however, was not the bane of relationships in any of these stories because the characters show traits of insanity and signs of being overly attached to their lovers. Obsession is really the greatest factor for the…

I wanted to analyze this ideal proposed by Bruegel in his painting, as well as another perspective that he may not have intended or possibly accepted, through the character of Nelly Dean, who understands such a situation very well but realizes that there is more that can be found within multiple representations of a situation. Therefore, I found the critical approach of Cultural Criticism, which allows individuals or societies…

ultimately leading to his downfall. Bronte’s novel centers on the tempestuous characters of Catherine Earnshaw, a young headstrong girl in love with her childhood friend Heathcliff, a young orphaned boy whose parentage is unknown and is told through Nelly Dean, whose mother was a servant at Wuthering Heights, where Heathcliff, Catherine, and her brother Hindley were raised. Furthermore, Heathcliff allows…

In the novel Wuthering Heights, there is an abundance of injustice as well as the search for justice. Even though the search for justice was not done with good intentions in this situation, revenge and betrayal were used to search by Heathcliff to receive justice. Heathcliff had a great deal of abuse and isolation forthe majority of his life due to his angry step-brother Hindley and his step-sister Catherine. They would insult him, and Hindley would physically hurt him. Once they all got older,…
