The Motivation Behind Wuthering Heights
Emily Bronte writes a story of polar opposites in her tale Wuthering Heights. The Heights’ destructiveness versus the Grange’s solidarity, the Earnshaw’s violent natures versus the Linton’s harmonious temperament, but most importantly Heathcliff’s conflicting motivations of love and hate portray contrary features. The author’s belief that harmony between unharmonious elements makes for the best outcome comes to light in each of these areas. Her antagonist Heathcliff both loves and hates passionately. His hate, however, of the other characters in the novel is what brings meaning to his life. His thirsty anger towards Hindley, Edgar, and Catherine pose as the driving force in the novel for Heathcliff to continue on living. Heathcliff and Hindley are at odds from an early age when Heathcliff is first taken into the Earnshaw manor. Mr. Earnshaw shows clear favoritism towards Heathcliff, which angers Hindley. After Mr. Earnshaw’s death and Hindley’s return to the Heights, he immediately begins exacting revenge upon young Heathcliff. This in turn flares up a put of anger
