Wuthering
Heights by Emily Bronte for 3rd
Year
Wuthering
Heights is a s tory of unrequited love, loss,
disappointment, intolerance of difference as well as a story of the restoration
of personal dignity. Heathcliff, a foundling, starts at the bottom of life to
rise again like the phoenix to revenge himself against his persecutors, Hindley
and the Lintons. By doing this he means to restore his dignity which he
had lost in the Earnshaw’s family. These two (Hindley and the Lintons)
are the main reason behind the violent and hostile character Heathcliff
develops later. Emily Bronte builds up her story on the trick of turning points
to create a chain of strongly related events and also a web of human relations,
be them negative or positive. In this turning-points technique, each small
event counts as it surely leads to more complications and entanglements in the
story. Try to remove any small event and you will find yourself standing in the
same place with no possible guide to move farther.
