Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte

Boor Review of Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte

“Wuthering Heights” by Emily Bronte describes of Heathcliff’s and Catherine Earnshaw’s devastating love and passion. Heathcliff was taken upon by Catherine’s father as a child, but upon Mr. Earnshaw’s death, he was bullied by Catherine’s family. Under the incorrect supposition that his love for Catherine isn't honest, Heathcliff suddenly leaves the household only to return later as a fat man, poised to exact his vengeance for his former suffering.

 “Wuthering Heights” is a chaotic novel, beautiful in its complexity but wicked at the same time. It is almost unpleasant to read but still keeps the reader hooked. It is a gothic novel disguising as a romantic story which is nothing but toxic.

The novel is exceptional in a way that none of its characters are likable. From the narrator to the retainers to the main characters, each is presented in a manner that highlights his or her flaws. The characters’ monstrosity draws the summary in. One can’t help but search for redemption to be planted within the characters and, upon being disappointed, pity their actuality.

As the novel came to an end, I found myself wanting Heathcliff to compensate for all of the harms he had committed against the people around him. He tricks a naive girl into marrying him by pretending to watch for her and treats her cruelly after she has served her purpose. At the same time, the torment Heathcliff appears to suffer from isn't pleasant to read about. Towards the end, there is subconscious wishing that the situation could be different, that Heathcliff could be kind and loved in return.

After the first glimpse, “Wuthering Heights” appears to have no relatability to today’s pupil but it won’t be fair to compare two different eras. It's set in late 18th century England and tells the story of a man who seems recollected. Still, the story explores themes of vengeance, preoccupation, passion and loneliness that are applicable to the today’s reader. The characters, each portray a certain darkness that is captivating. The full read of “Wuthering Heights” might be worthwhile to scholars who want to release their own analogous heartstrings.

Evaluating “Wuthering Heights, the layered history and interspersing time frames of “Wuthering Heights” appear to have inspired the layered situations of reality plant in “Worlds of Ink and Shadow.”

 The chaotic nature of “Wuthering Heights” is reflected in Emily Bronte’s personality in “Worlds of Ink and Shadow.” In Coakley’s novel, Emily Bronte is portrayed as wilful and passionate, just as “Wuthering Heights” could be described as a wilful and passionate novel.

 It's disingenuous to wholeheartedly say “Wuthering Heights” was a pleasurable read. The atrocity and lack of form displayed by numerous of the characters made the novel unlikable in retrospection, despite the characters’ appeal as the story unravels itself.

“Wuthering Heights” is an animalistic masterpiece that left me both impressed and distressed.
