Published in 1847, WUTHERING HEIGHTS wasnot well received by the reading public, many ofwhom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural——and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in1848 believing that her only novel was a failure.It was not until 1850, when WUTHERING HEIGHTSreceived a second printing with an introduction byEmily's sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership.And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back.Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of English literature.Even so, WUTHERING HEIGHTS continues todivide readers.It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caughtup in obsessive love that turns to dark madness.It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many peoplefind it extremely unpleasant.And yet——itpossesses a grandeur of language and design, asense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.The novel is told in the form of an extended
flashback.After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of thefamily——which he receives from Nelly Deans, aservant who introduces us to the Earnshaw familywho once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights.It was once a cheerful place, but OldEarnshaw adopted a “Gipsy” child who he namedHeathcliff.And Catherine, daughter of the house,found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she.But although
Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as hersoulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so farbelow her social station.She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to “get into;” the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting.But they feed into the flow ofthe work in a remarkable way, setting the stage forone of the most remarkable structures in all of
literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations.Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable,both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shedtheir impossible love no matter how brutally onemay wound the other.As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans ofrevenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff,driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world—— dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing hercalling to him from the moors, escalating his
brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself.Yes, this is madness,insanity, and there is no peace this side of the graveor even beyond.It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable,unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe.Even if you do not like it, you shouldread it at least once——and those who do like it will return to it again and again.

The hatred and the love
——
didn’t scruple her vanity and ignorance.In the ninth chapter of the novel, there is such a passage of her inner monologue, “My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods;time will change its, I’m well aware,as winter changes the trees.My visible delighted, but necessary Nelly,I am Heathchliff!He’s always, always in my mind;not as a pleasure,any more than I am always a pleasure to myself,but as my own being.Whatever our souls are made of,his and mine are the same;and Linton’s is as different as a moonbeam from lightning,or frost from fire.” Once Heathcliff also said to Mrs.Dean that two words would comprehended his future—death and hell:existence,after losing Cathy,would be hell.Not only because of the failure of love but also his life experience,living environment and his class standing lead to his hatred.As a child,he gravely said: “I’m tring to settle how I shall pay Hindley back.I don’t care how long I wait,if I can only do it at last.And god won’t have the satisfaction that I shall.” L ater, He neither wept nor prayed: he cursed and defied:execrated God and man, and gave himself up to reckless dissipation.The emotion of his except the love for Cathy was nothing,for he’s only half a man-not so much.During his life, his bad behaviour to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange already altered the colour of his mind.Although he completed his revenge plan, when seeing Catherine and Hareton’s love,time of his dying, he said to himself “It is a poor conclusion,is
it not ?An absurd termination to my violent exertions ? I get levers and mattocks to demolish the two houses,and,train myself to be capable of working like Hercules.But I have lost the faculty of enjoying their destruction,and I am too idle to destroy for nothing.”
In the end, Mr.Heathcliff died of his true love and his all-life hatred.It’sa tragedy of two houses.From the tragedy I realized that the greatest source of misery and hatred in this world is clinging to past hurts and love.We sometimes shouldn’t hark back to some events long gone.Learn to be more tolerance,wise and kind.Just remember as Martin Luther said above.
