  1. WUTHERING HEIGHTS by EMILY BRONTE

  2. INTRODUCTION • This is a site that can be provide you with a broader view of Wuthering Heights. Here we focus on the author, Emily Bronte. The author must have the most direct influence on the novel, so we collect many materials and sort out the information they maybe helpful for you to understand Wuthering Heights more.

  3. MAIN CHARACTERS • Mr. Lockwood — look like the protagonist, but he was just a narrator ! • Heathcliff — be clear about what to love and what to hate ! • Cathy — in order to get Edgar’s heart and marriage, she betrayed Heathcliff ! • Edgar — he was rich, and married Cathy ! • Isabella — Edgar’s sister, and she married Heathcliff ! • Hindley — a man who was conceited and selfish ! • Catherine — Edgar and Cathy’s daughter ! • Hareton — Hindley’s son ! • Linton — Heathcliff and Isabella’s son !

  4. SUMMARY • Heathcliff was a fosterling in Earnshaw’s family, but he was treated very badly, especially Hindley. He loved Cathy very much, but Cathy betrayed him and married Edgar. So Heathcliff hated Earnshaw’s ..and Linton’s families. And from that time on, he planned to avenge them. Finally, he won all the fortune from these two families by hood, but he never got truth love!

  5. REFLECTION • It is a story that discusses love. It not only talks about love between lovers, but also mentions some questions about love between friends, relatives, etc… • If you read it carefully, you will notice that there are many things like the details of our daily life. And we often make the same mistakes, don’t we?

  6. CONCLUSION • I think the environment that Emily Bronte lived in influences the reason why she arranged “death and illness” appearing constantly. At the time she lived, there was a kind of epidemic-scarlet fever spreading widely in which they lived. Consequently, as a result of being this surrounding, she wrote Wuthering Heights with a series of death and illness.
