Isabella Rossellini

I848, at the age of only 30, the sensational recognised Wuthering Heights made a monumental dramatic entrance for her career. She was a greedy woman, greedy for strong passionate words that will zap electrical shocks of emotion, irony and fear through your body. Words which both you and I cannot ever put together as she did, her name, Emily Brontë. Emily Brontë was one of the most dignified women of her era. Although she had an eccentric, out of the ordinary way to put herself forward, like all

Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil?” (Bronte 106). Isabella questions Heathcliff’s humanity, revealing that Heathcliff uses his pain to fuel the harm he inflicts on others.

Catherine Earnshaw’s marriage to Edgar Linton is most certainly a "self-protective" marriage. Simply put, she marries for money and social status. There is positively a sense of unsatisfactory feelings through Catherine and Edgar’s relationship. By marrying Edgar, Catherine is able to live what she perceives as an idyllic life. She is placed in a privileged position of power and uses Edgar’s love for her against him. By choosing to marry him, Catherine is able to secure a life of wealth and status

Although certainly unjust and arguably immoral, assigned gender roles have permeated history and its literature for centuries. Authors have penned the injustice of such gender roles throughout their works, although it was simply a part of life to them at the time. One such author is Emily Brontë, a woman who never married. She and her sisters experienced many familial hardships and began writing at a young age, perhaps as a coping mechanism. With this in mind and assessing trials and events in

Mr. Hindley came home to the funeral; and—a thing that amazed us, and set the neighbours gossiping right and left—he brought a wife with him. What she was, and where she was born, he never informed us: probably, she had neither money nor name to recommend her, or he would scarcely have kept the union from his father.

Cruelty is apparent throughout the work most importantly when dealing with relationships between Heathcliff and Hindley, Heathcliff and Hareton, and even the emotional cruelty between Heathcliff and Catherine. The relationship between Heathcliff and Hindley revealed and developed the abusive nature of Heathcliff. Heathcliff was taken in as a young boy into a wealthy

Hareton just as Hindley had treated him when they were younger. Heathcliff also became a very bad person in general, wishing that Cathy not rest in peace and haunt him, and his manner and mischief towards everyone around him.
