There are some people who just draw attention. They do so without asking for it, but a light naturally shines on them and they command the center of attention. Whether it be for good or bad reasons, people cannot help but stare. One would imagine that if Heathcliff was a real person he would be one of these individuals.

The enthralling novel, Wuthering Heights focuses on the immensely destructive force of revenge. Revenge is illustrated through Hindley and Heathcliff who are motivated by their thirst for revenge, that ultimately leads to their undoing.

assertions that show it is true love only provide misleading metaphors to support their claims. Tytler then talks about Heathcliff's relationship identity. He poses the question; how can Heathcliff know the “value of love [when he] humiliat[es] his bride Isabella” (169).

Emily Brontë’s novel, Wuthering Heights, introduces many different characters throughout the story. The two main characters that show the most change by the end of the book are Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw.

Lockwood goes to Wuthering Heights and we are first introduced to Heathcliff Heathcliff is quite rude and does not want Lockwood there. Our first impression of heathcliff is a negative one. He speaks in annoyed short sentences and seem quite arrogant and full of himself. It is very clear from the first couple pages that he is not a nice, sweet person; even though he tries to be. Near the end of the chapter he apologizes to Lockwood and becomes a more gracious host. Lockwood eventually warms up to

Should Wuthering Heights be considered relevant in today's society? I say, yes. Although I must admit, I was very close to hating this book, not only because of the confusing situations which occurs and my dislike towards all characters, but also for much more reasons that I don't wish to point out at this moment for that we shall be here for a terribly long time if I did.

good amount of torment at the hands of Heathcliff, Isabella decides to flee to London where she raises their child, Linton, for about a decade. In doing this Isabella prevents, or rather prolongs, any harm Heathcliff could do to the child. Moreover, prior to Isabella running away with Heathcliff, Catherine warns her about his questionable morality to which Isabella denies and claims, “I love him more than ever you loved Edgar…” (102). Here, Isabella is essentially defending herself and not letting
