Book Review of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Introduction
Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte's only novel,was published in 1847 under the pseudonym "Ellis Bell". It was written between October 1845 and June 1846. Although Wuthering Heights is now a classic of English literature, contemporary reviews were deeply polarised and it was controversial . Wuthering Heights has been seen as having elements of the Gothic novel and another significant aspect is the moorland setting . The novel has inspired adaptations ,including filim ,radio and television and dramatisations,a musical, a ballet ,operas and a song by Kate Bush.
Wuthering Heights tells of Health Cliff's destructive love and passion for Catherine Earnshaw . Heath Cliff was adopted by Catherine's father as a child ,but upon Mr. Earnshaw's death, he is bullied by Catherine's brother. Under the incorrect assumption that his love for Catherine is not returned, Heath Cliff abruptly leaves the house hold only to return years later as a wealthy man, poisoned to exact his revenge for his previous suffering.
" Wuthering Heights" is a chaotic novel ,
Beautiful Indians complexity but table in its wickedness.
The novel is exceptional you that none of these characters are likeable from the narrator to the servants to the main characters each is presented in a manner that highlights his or her false somehow the characters flaws The Reader in one cannot help but search for redemption to be found within the characters and account being disappointed with their existence.
By the end of the novel I found myself wanting Heathcliff appears from all of the events he had committed against those around him like tricking a native girl into marrying him by pretending to care for her and then treating her cruelly after she has served her purpose. At the same time the torment heathcliff appears to suffer from is not pleasant to read about. Readers maywish the situation could be different that he could be kind and loved in return.
At first glance Wuthering Heights appears to have no reliability to today's life.
