A parallel universe in Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë not: a princess, a pirate, lovers like Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, everything imaginable, or “call me Ishmael”. One of the greatest of these artists may be so underrated and misunderstood, but he falls into a category that can only be described as brilliant. Emily Bronte uses powerful characterization and grotesque imagery to manifest the fierce symbolism of the tragic love story of Catherine and Heathcliff in her novel Wuthering Heights. Formerly published as Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, the Bronte sisters are something of a mystery (Hewish). One of six children, Emily lived a quiet life on the family estate in Hawthorn, England. She was brilliant and solitary, to a certain extent, and taught herself German and the piano. In 1842, Emily accompanied Charlotte to the Héger Pensionnat school, in Brussels, Belgium. There, she perfected her German and French. The two sisters planned to stay and teach at the school, but after the death of their aunt, they naturally returned to the estate. Emily then begins to write poems and her famous novel in secret. The three sisters came together to produce novels for publication: Emily's Wuthering Heights, Charlotte's Jane Eyre, and Anne's Agnes Grey. Emily Bronte never enjoyed the success of her novel since she died at the age of thirty from tuberculosis, a year after its publication (D'Amico). Bronte's artistic expression through her characters is both fascinating and frustrating. The representation of these vast masterpieces validates Bronte’s audacity and spirit and confirms that “Wurling Heights is not a silver fork novel where children are undressed by their servants” ( Hewish)...... middle of paper ...... paths to explore the moors, and surround yourself with nature. This makes perfect sense when Catherine says, “Whatever our souls are made of, Heathcliff's and mine are the same. » (Bronte). Alternatively, Catherine's marriage to Edgar Linton represents the temptation she felt to be part of society, as he was wealthy and well known. Ultimately, the conflict between nature and society is illustrated by Catherine's burial "in a corner of the cemetery, where the wall is so low that heather and bilberry plants have climbed over it from the moor", between Edgar Linton and Heathcliff. Nature or Heathcliff finally won Emily's heart. The success of Catherine Heathcliff and Hareton's love story restores balance to Wuthering Heights, proving that there must be a balance between nature and culture. Wuthering Heights sweeps traditional ideals of love under the rug..
