Notes

Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (1847) is a dark and turbulent tale of love, obsession, and revenge set on the Yorkshire moors. It tells the story of Heathcliff, a brooding outsider taken in by the Earnshaw family, and his intense, destructive bond with Catherine Earnshaw, who loves him but marries the wealthy Edgar Linton for social status. Consumed by jealousy and bitterness, Heathcliff seeks vengeance on both families, manipulating generations to come. The novel’s Gothic atmosphere, framed through shifting narrators, explores passion, cruelty, and the haunting power of love that transcends even death. Though shocking to Victorian readers, it endures as one of literature’s most powerful and unconventional romances.
