Essay / The Unwanted Villain of Wuthering Heights - 1113
While reading the book Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, I discovered that Heathcliff, one of the main characters in the story, was considered the villain . Throughout the ups and downs of the story, there are many villain choices due to the characters' emotions and choices, but choosing Heathcliff was an obvious choice. Heathcliff's malicious and evil attitude came from the fact that he was rejected and probably different. His difference in character is shown early on in the story when Lockwood, the first person to arrive at Wuthering Heights, explains that he is the new tenant arriving to rent the Thrushgross Grange property. Heathcliff's unbearable attitude is immediately apparent: "'I should not allow anyone to disturb me, if I could help it..." (Bronte, p. 2). By reading the story of Emily Bronte, one can determine Heathcliff's attitude of wickedness. Emily Bronte, the author of Wuthering Heights, had a very unhappy life as a young woman raised in a very meager lifestyle, she was a very poor girl. reserved girl, and during her life wrote only one novel, characteristic of a passionate romantic love story, this novel builds both anger and madness of love. Ms. Bronte does not draw inspiration from what she experienced for this story but only imagines a love story that drives Heathcliff, the main character, crazy. Heathcliff renounces his love because his damsel wants something better in life. However, the expectation in which Catherine the child, the daughter, the woman for whom Heathcliff loves and cares deeply, renounces her love for him by speaking to Allen Dean, Nelly. Nelly, one of the servants, is always in all the affairs, although she shows a lot of favoritism in her opinion middle of paper......partnership. Heathcliff goes to great lengths to make something better for him, but ends up destroying his life in the end. Love comes with a high price that many should be aware of, especially those who look for love in the wrong places with the wrong people and these tend to end up worse. Seek love, not war.
