What is the message from the novel 'Wuthering Heights'?

Answer 1

It focuses on two neighboring families, the Earnshaws of Wuthering Heights and the Lintons of Thrushcross Grange. Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff are the main characters of the story - both are very similar in nature: selfish, headstrong, stubborn, and vindictive. They are also in love, but Catherine feels that Heathcliff is below her and instead marries into the Linton family. Heathcliff sets out for revenge, basically, but driving Catherine mad until she dies from exhaustion. Though Heathcliff seems to deeply regret and take full blame for Catherine's death, you are under the impression that Heathcliff feels that if he cannot have Catherine, no one else can either.

The story then follows Catherine's child, also named Catherine. Heathcliff, who is still not satisfied enough still extremely bitter, is determined to ruin not only Catherine, but her daughter as well. Eventually Catherine's father falls ill and dies, leaving Catherine an orphan. She marries Heathcliff's son (named Linton - all the cross naming is quite confusing, but when you're reading the book it isn't so bad), and Catherine becomes more like a servant at Wuthering Heights. In the end, Linton dies, Catherine falls in love with her cousin, Heathcliff goes insane and perishes, and everyone lives happily ever after... more or less.

This is a pretty poor explanation of the book. You're better off just reading it, which is definitely a more rewarding experience!

the book sucks, i don't wanna read it.

I'm trying to figure out how someone can say a book sucks when they haven't even read it....

i've started reading it for school... i should've said i don't wanna continue reading it.

Answer 2

There are several of types of love in this novel, but the most important one is the desttuctive, imortal love of heathcliff's and catherines. it binds them in a way that they cannot help, nd that they do not delight in experiencing. In fact, it brings them such horrible pain, as it can be imagined taht they are one soul in two bodies, which is the imagery always put by the characers themselves. Marriage is nothing to them, which is why catherine married edgar. It is a mortal attraction, rather than an inseperable union.

Answer 4

In the novel, Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte has created one of the most controversial novel in the 19th century. Bronte has written a novel that contains many views of complex ideas. Revenge and love revenge are examples of such. The main theme of revenge is protared through the character of Heathcliff. Heathcliff is also part of the theme of love accompanied by that of Cathy. The other half of the love theme is shown throught the actions of Hearton and Catherine. The intertwineing of the ideas of revenge and love prove to give Heathcliff a distored vision of love and Cathy a need for such a love that only Heathcliff can give to her. Where as Catherine and Hearton, the second generation, learn from the experiences of the earlier generation that lived at Wuthering Heights.

Answer 5

I believe the message was that if you don't get your way, then move on. Also another message could be don't hold a grudge. Another one could be be with the one you love and forget your social status.
