Violence in Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights is a novel written by Emily Brontë. When I was reading this book, I was shocked by the violence between the characters and that is the reason why I chose discuss the theme of the violence in Wuthering Heights.
The story takes place in two main settings - Wuthering Heigts and Thrushcross Grange which are both situated on desolate moors of Yorkshire. ... The people from the Wuthering Heights such as Heathcliff are generally angry, ill tempered, vengeful and often immoral. ... Its inhabitants such as Edgar Linton are generally more refined, they have more morals and calmer attitudes than those of the Wuthering Heights. The Thrushcross Grange is a symbol of civilization, warmth and goodness, whereas the Wuthering Heights is a symbol of wildness, cruelty and evil.
As I said above, when I was reading this novel, I was shocked by the violence, especially between the characters. ...
However, Heathcliff´s vilolence is answered with more violence. ... We can see her violence in Chapter 8, when Edgar, Catherine and Nelly were in one room and Catherine did not want Nelly´s attendance and forced her to leave the room. ...
This violence has not only instilled in the main character´s behaviour in this novel but also it has a great infliction of the other characters. For example, little Hareton is rude to Nelly in Chapter 11, when she is coming to Wuthering Heights, because she supposed that Hindley should be dead. ... His violence is obvious in Chapter 24. ... ) and one day she hit him with her whip when she was moving away Wuthering Heights.
