Is Mr Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil?
Heathcliff, an orphan, wild and unkempt, is taken in by Mr Earnshaw and raised as his son at Wuthering Heights on the bleak Yorkshire moors. He is drawn to Earnshaw’s daughter Catherine, and as the pair grow up together they become bound by an intense and passionate love. When Catherine’s father dies and Heathcliff is condemned to servitude, the difference in their social stations drives a wedge between them that will eventually become their downfall.
A story of all-consuming love, obsession and revenge, Wuthering Heights is one of the most unique and emotive Gothic novels, and is considered Emily Brontë’s masterpiece.
Emily Brontë (1818–1848) was an English novelist and poet, best remembered for her only novel, Wuthering Heights. The novel’s violence and passion shocked the Victorian public and led to the belief that it was written by a man. Although Emily died young (at the age of 30), her sole complete work is now considered a masterpiece of English literature.
