    Differentiated book•It has a historical context with research of the timeIt is the story of a dramatic and tragic story. It begins with the arrival of the Heathcliff boy to the Earnshaw's home, which is brought by the family's father from Liverpool. We ignore where this creature has come from that will soon completely upset the quiet life of its adoptive family as well as that of its neighbors, the Linton.It is a story of love and revenge, of hate and madness, of life and death. Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff develop a relationship of mutual dependence throughout their lives, from childhood to beyond death.The freedom that Heathcliff represents is not the most suitable for a woman who pretends to be respectable, and Catherine will end up marrying the son of the Linton, Edgar, magistrate of the region. This will give you a home, the Thrush Farm, and stability.Over two generations, whose common ties will be Heathcliff and the observer and storyteller, Nelly Dean, we discover the past and present of the characters, in different versions of themselves.In short, "Wuthering Heights" is a sweeping and romantic novel, a revenge that lasts until the end and a love that will go even further. It is, in short, a complicated tragedy that constitutes one of the masterpieces of literature.This is the only novel that Emily Brontë wrote (1818-1848). The rest of its creation is made up of poems, published in various editions, among which those related to Gondal, where parallels or similarities with "Wuthering Heights" can be found.

    EMILY BRONTE

    (, Feb. 3, 2020)
    Wuthering Heights is a novel by Emily Brontë published in 1847 under her pseudonym "Ellis Bell". Brontë's only finished novel, it was written between October 1845 and June 1846.[1] Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey were accepted by publisher Thomas Newby before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre. After Emily's death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850.[2]Although Wuthering Heights is now a classic of English literature, contemporaneous reviews were deeply polarised; it was controversial because of its unusually stark depiction of mental and physical cruelty, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals regarding religious hypocrisy,[3] morality, social classes[4] and gender inequality.[5][6][7]. The novel also explores the effects of envy, nostalgia,[8] pessimism and resentment.[9] The English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, although an admirer of the book, referred to it as "A fiend of a book – an incredible monster [...] The action is laid in hell, – only it seems places and people have English names there.
