Wuthering Heights


            A Romance or not that is the question?.
             "Wuthering Heights" is a Victorian novel regarding the lives of the Earnshaws and Lintons. Through three generations, they all experience wave after wave of tragedy all originating with Heathcliff's overwhelming desire for revenge against the Lintons. This hatred is brought on by the treatment Heathcliff receives from the Lintons as well as Edgar Linton's marriage to Catherine, Heathcliff's soul mate. Though it is said to believe that this novel is a tragedy, I believe that it is indeed a great romance. .
             People spend much of their lives searching for true love. When true love is found, people will do everything possible to hold on to and cherish it for eternity. It is said that true love, which is filled with intense everlasting emotions, can only be found once in a lifetime. In the Classic Novel "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, the characters Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw display a classic example of this powerful emotion. "Wuthering Heights" examines a passionate and overwhelming love between its central characters, Cathy and Heathcliff. Their love is profound and filled with passion unlike any other. Its intensity builds from their childhood until the untimely death of Catherine. The extent of this love is exemplified during Heathcliff and Catherine's interactions with each other, during Catherine's statements to Nelly, and during Catherine's death where Heathcliff and Catherine embrace for the last time. When Catherine and Heathcliff were young, they would "run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day"(44). They spent a lot of time together playing like children. It is in this time that they create their everlasting bond. Catherine and Heathcliff spend almost every waking hour together and inevitably fall in love. No words could possibly express the great passion they share; yet it becomes obvious in their "interactions together".
