About Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights is an immortal romance novel by the famous Bronte sister - Emily Bronte. With two narrators in form of Lockwood and Ellen Dean, the novel involves a number of narrations in flashback. Heathcliff, a rich man who is cold almost to the point of rude and is definitely unsociable, lives in Wuthering Heights - the ancient manor. Lockwood moves to Thrushcross Grange in Yorkshire and meets Heathcliff, since the garage is only four miles away in the wild moor. He sees Catherine's ghost and hears the story from Nelly (Ellen) Dean after getting driven out of Heathcliff's house in the middle of the night. Nelly becomes the narrator now and tells a story of romance and death that ran from a date thirty years before the narration - the story of an elopement, the death of Catherine in childbirth, birth of their daughter Catherine (Cathy). After a sequence of events, Cathy becomes a widow and practically a prisoner in Wuthering Heights, as Heathcliff, the Devil embodied, gains complete control over Wuthering Heights as well as Thrushcross Grange. The novels ends with the death of Heathcliff and his burial next to Catherine (the senior), but what happens to Cathy?

Wuthering Heights, the novel that catapulted Emily Bronte to immortality, is regarded as a classical example of a romantic classic, and has a number of twists and turns (unlike the flat structure of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre). The pride and bitterness, mostly generated by dishonesty, the way that love played a constructive and a destructive roles in lives of men, marriages unmade and betrayed by concealment of truth and the tragic implantation of lesser human qualities make Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte a unique read.
