Wuthering Heights

Isabella leaves Wuthering Heights because Heathcliff is absolutely horrible to her and, since she's pregnant, she naturally doesn't want her child to grow up with a father like that around.

At the time, some thought the passionate love depicted by Emily Bronte was inappropriate, and the novel was shunned. Its literary genius was only rediscovered decades later by modern scholars.

In the first chapter of The Canterville Ghost, Mr. Otis buys the Canterville Castle. Everyone tells him he is foolish because the castle is haunted. Mr. Otis laughed it off and took his family to the castle a few weeks later. Mrs. Otis noticed a red stain on the rug, and the housekeeper explained it was the blood of Lady Eleanore de Canterville, who was murdered on that spot by her husband. He disappeared seven years later and his body was never found, but his ghost haunts the castle. Mrs. Otis wanted the stain removed at once, but the housekeeper explains that it is a tourist attraction and cannot be removed. The Otis son, Washington, called it nonsense, and removed the stain. Immediately, lightening lit up the room and thunder shook the building.

The Production Budget for Pride and Prejudice was $28,000,000.

metaphor in Mrs. Dean's description of Heathcliff's face:

chapter 7 second paragraph (according to the book I'm using)

"Don't get the expression of a vicious cur that appears to know the kicks it gets are its desert, and yet hates all the world, as well as the kicker, for what it suffers" (45).

this is where they were happiest.

They wanted to see how the Lintons lived.

Wuthering Heights and Theshcross(sp?) Grange

Wuthering Heights has several narrators: the novel begins with the narrator Mr. Lockwood who is then told an extended story by the second narrator Ellen Dean (creating a story within a story), and during Ellen's story a letter by Isabella Linton-Heathcliff introduces a third (though less critically attended to) narrator. The novel ends with Mr. Lockwood as the narrator again.

Although Stephenie Meyer meant for Eclipse to be modeled after Wuthering Heights, it is first mentioned in Twilight. In Chapter 2, Bella says she is rereading the book for fun since her English class is studying it. In Eclipse, Bella reads Wuthering Heights in Chapter 1 during dinner. Edward comes in and they talk about it, with him asking what she sees in the story. In Chapter 23, Bella, in pain, compares herself to Cathy from the novel, saying that she hurts the people she loves. In Chapter 27, Bella quotes Cathy's declaration of love for Heathcliff; Edward quotes Heathcliff's for Cathy.

Because he heard the house, Thrushcross Grange, was available for renting. The owner of said house was Heathcliff, who lived at Wuthering Heights. He went to Wuthering Heights first (braving a very bad snow storm) to converse with the owner about renting the place, and stayed overnight due to the snow.

Nelly learned about Linton through the housekeeper at Wuthering Heighs

toward the end of the story Edgar Linton becomes very ill. His beloved daughter Cathy was kidnapped by Heathcliff and forced to marry Linton Heathcliff. While she was at Wuthering Heights she was locked up and not allowed to leave. At this time she knew her father was dying, so she escaped Wuthering Heights and ran to Thrushcross Grange. Upon her arrival, she ran up to her father's deathbed. He was only continuing to live to be able to see her one more time. He delivers is last words so her and passes away peacefully.

vindictively

Heathcliff was given the name of a dead son in his foster family, the Earnshaws.

I love this story but also I feel sorry for Heatcliff and Catherine that they couldn`t be together .The story is an English literature written by Emily Bronte and it has dramatic parts that seemes to be like in the real life

Heathcliff was undergoing a psychological conflict for Catharine's loss and to purge that loss he embraces Isabella and avenge the wrong doing which the credulous Isabella feels as Heathcliff's sincerity.

honestly at first it isn't. You really have to have a taste for literature. I read the book a good three times and then fell in love with it. Whe i read it only once, i had to constantly look for context clues, read between the lines, learn a whole new vocabulary- it was alot. but i read over and over. And it truly is one of my favorite books of all time. If you're not a reader- don't read it, just see the 2009 movie version of it. The movie is great too.

there are 320 pages in the book

that is correct. it is indeed 320 pages, unless, of course, you get the book with the extended information furthering about Emily bronte's adolescent years and how she became of the novel and such, which is quite exquisite to read about.

A feminist critic would argue that most of Wuthering Heights if founded on the oppression that women in this era suffered. Catherine is an example of a character greatly exploited by the in built male ideologies present in her society. She is left to make a tireless decision between Edgar and Heatchliff, and in both their eyes she is a mere symbol of love.

Yes, Wuthering Heights can be considered a tragdey.

Heathcliff and Catherine both bring about their own downfall. They are both in love but their pride gets in the way of their love for each other. Catherine decides to marry Edgar Linton rather than stay with Heatcliff because unlike Edgar, Heathcliff is poor and is at the lowest rank on the social ladder. Later on throuhgout the novel, Catherine realizes the terrible mistake she has made because her heart has always belonged to Heathcliff. And Heathcliff becomes a wealthy and respectable man who is out to get revenge on Catherine. He marries Edgar's sister but this only causes Catherine much more pain. As a result Catherine dies giving birth to her child leaving Heathcliff alone. He then spends several years longing for Catherine and wishing for his own death. But each and everyday he is reminded of Catherine because Catherine's daughter who bears the same name as her also shares the same physical features as her mother. The rest of the story is a sad one. But in the end the main character claims to have seen the ghost of Heathcliff and Catherine walking along the seaside.

Wuthering Heights is a classic novel for children ages 8-12. Other than this age group, the novel has no literary value whatsoever to adults above the age of 12 and children younger than 8.

I think someone is playing a trick on you. Wuthering heights is a classic peice of English literature, and considered (for some strange reason) to be one of the greatest love stories ever told.

The first answer here is ridiculous a child 8-12 would have to be exceptionally gifted if they were able to read and understand the language used in Wuthering Heights. Many adults would not. It is a classic piece of literature and as a love story I have read no other like it.
