Never Give up on Love in Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

In Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte uses Mr. Lockwood to show that language is not enough to tell the truth and understand the other person. When Mr. Lockwood greets Heathcliff on their first encounter, Lockwood misjudges Heathcliff. He writes, “Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us” (Bronte 1). Also he describes Heathcliff as “a capital fellow” (Bronte 1).

3. Lockwood compares himself to Heathcliff in his hospitality and in his capacity within the subject of relationships. Lockwood also indirectly contrasts the environment’s suitability to the two

This quote represents the first point of the book in which Lockwood realizes the Heights hold a secret no one wants him to know about. It stirs up his curiosity about the past affairs at Wuthering Heights and leads him to inquire about the story. He doesn’t know why this woman’s name is scratched into the wall so many times with such precision and curiosity. This leads him to investigate the woman and her past relationship with Heathcliff, who loved her enough to ask her to haunt him.

The descriptions used in the story distinguish the appearance of one class from another. “He is a dark-skinned gypsy in aspect, in dress and manners a gentleman: that is as much a gentleman as many a country squire (Chapter 1).” Heathcliff is rich and is perceived to be a gentleman, which is in contrast to his past as a ward of the country, and as a servant. In his past, Heathcliff is brought home by Mr. Earnshaw, and

As a young orphan who is brought to Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff is thrown into abuse as Hindley begins to treat Heathcliff as a servant in reaction to Mr. Earnshaw’s death. As a reaction to both this and Catherine discarding Heathcliff for Edgar, Heathcliff’s sense of misery and embarrassment causes him to change and spend the rest of his time seeking for justice. Throughout this time, Heathcliff leans on violence to express the revenge that he so seeks by threatening people and displaying villainous traits. However, Heathcliff’s first symptom of change in personality is when Heathcliff runs into Hareton after Cathy “tormented

Romantic love takes over many forms in Wuthering Heights, the passion of Heathcliff and Catherine. The love relationship of Heathcliff and Catherine, byr is is not like the other lovers in the story.

Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us. A capital fellow!” (Bronte 1). Lockwood quickly misjudges Heathcliff on their first encounter, as a reader we understand and know that Heathcliff is definitely not what a true “capital fellow” is supposed to represent. In the article, Allan R. Brink proposes that, “Lockwood rattles off one misinterpretation after another about the identity of the people in Wuthering Heights and their (the presumes) normal relations with each other” (Brick 81), Lockwood has a difficult time understanding the issues within Wuthering Heights, he is perplexed by the fact that the cannot comprehend the assumptions of Heathcliff as a character. Notwithstanding, It is understandable having the fact that he in fact isn't from around the area, and is just trying to meet this landowner, and happens to run into interesting events that lead him to want to know a little background

The story is written as a diary for Mr. Lockwood, which means it is written in first person. In chapter one, Mr. Lockwood goes to Wuthering Heights after a few days new of being a tenant at Thrushcross Grange to visit his landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. “Thrush Grange is my own sir, ‘he interrupted, wincing. ‘I should not allow anyone to inconvenience me, if I could hinder it- walk in!” (pg. 368). Mr. Heathcliff does not go out of him way to be pleasant to Lockwood as you can see from the way he talked to him in the quote. He even nods his head when Lockwood ask if he is Mr. Heathcliff. “Wuthering’ being significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather” (pg. 369). This quote tells about Wuthering and how it is used to describe rough winds that blow. The way this story is wrote compares to Emma in that they are both hard for me to comprehend what I am reading. I have to go back over it a few times to make sure I get the true meaning and understand what the story is

An interesting incident in the story takes place in Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff’s former home, when he returns with his new wife, Isabella Linton. He causes her great discomfort by leaving her alone in the house for a long period of time to the point of her describing him as “ingenious and unresting in seeking to gain [her] abhorrence” (Bronte 144). Heathcliff is only emotionally attached to Catherine; to all others, he treats cruelly and does not restrain his harsh insults. The major climax of the novel and the resolution to the main conflict occur with the final, dramatic union of Catherine and Heathcliff. As the two embrace and Catherine’s maid approaches them, Heathcliff “[gnashes] at [her], and [foams] like a mad dog, and [gathers] [Catherine] to him with greedy jealousy” (Bronte 159).

Heathcliff doesn’t really want to have people around him ,but he lives very isolated from the social world outside his home and land. One of the things Heathcliff did in the start of the book was that he had dogs that attacked Lockwood and it has been know that the dog or dogs reflect their owner and in this case they are reflecting Heathcliff. Heathcliff doesn’t like this social interaction between him and Lockwood so when Lockwood met the

The way in which the novel is structured allows for more sympathy towards Heathcliff, as the reader experiences his hardships and isolation in childhood that become causes of his actions later on in the novel. The story begins with a portrait of Heathcliff as a cold, reserved host, establishing the personality he has as an adult before jumping back to his childhood. Because of the lack of background information, the reader automatically distances themself from Heathcliff. As the plot returns to the past and reveals the unwarranted terrorizing to which Hindley subjects Heathcliff, the reader begins to grasp the reason why he grows up into such a desensitized, unpleasant adult. With the experience of Heathcliff’s difficult upbringing, the reader also better understands his need to exact revenge on Hindley, his love for Catherine (as it grew out of the isolation of his childhood), and the parallel between Hareton’s childhood and his own. The progression of his character becomes apparent and the contempt for Heathcliff from the beginning of the novel is softened by the sympathy that comes from understanding the reasons behind his behavior. Heathcliff’s role as an antihero stems from his imbalance of good and bad characteristics and the way that the novel is presented allows

In the winter of 1801, our major character or the protagonist of this tale, Lockwood, indicates up at Wuthering Heights daily make preparations with Heathcliff who is another dominant character on this tale, day-to-day rent the nearby manor. Heathcliff, the owner, makes no effort every day be fine and straight away will become a source of deep curiosity daily Lockwood. A blizzard forces Lockwood daily spend the night time at Wuthering Heights, and he has crazy nightmares entire with a wailing ghost named Catherine Lindailyn trying to come thru the window. So, now that Lockwood is settled inday-to-day his new house, he invitations the housekeeper, Ellen "Nelly" Dean, daily the story of the curious inhabitants of Wuthering Heights.

Heathcliff and Catherine’s love is “an attempt to break the boundaries of self and to fuse with another to transcend the inherent separateness of the human condition; fusion with another will by uniting two incomplete individuals

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë explores the themes of love throughout the novel, which endorses a damaging and obsessive infatuation that brings about pain and despair for all characters included in the novel. The relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine can undoubtedly be seen by readers as the most important relationship in the novel, and their desire for one another is intricate and complicated. It can be argued that their longing for one another leads to Heathcliff’s ultimate revenge and obsession towards Catherine, highlighting the destruction of their love, not only destroying each other, but also everyone around them with their agonising romance. In fact, the novel is a revengeful love story of Heathcliff, the protagonist, and his obsession with his one true love, Catherine.

It is the opinion of this essay that the character of Heathcliff evolves a lot more than the character of Catherine. When we first meet Heathcliff, he was found on the streets of Liverpool by Catherine’s father who then adopts him into the family as one of his own. This would have been a dramatic change for Heathcliff. Then after experiencing this quality of life until the death of the father he is then cast into the role of a servant/labourer by Catherine’s brother who despises him. Finally, when Heathcliff hears part of the conversation between Catherine and Nelly, he hears Catherine plans to marry Edgar Linton as she could never marry Heathcliff. “It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now”. (82) It is here Heathcliff leaves Wuthering Heights and returns three years later, a gentleman of means and of polite demeanour, not what you would expect from him. Here we can bring back the point that one’s environment dramatically affects one’s behaviour. Like Catherine, Heathcliff defies social norms expected of his gender. After he returns back from travelling having acquired great wealth and on the surface seems a changed man, he would be accepted into middle class society as he displays the characteristics expected of him. It is well described in the book to enforce the dramatic change in him for readers to understand how far he has come from
