Wuthering Heights (Puffin Classics) (Paperback)

Customer Review

If a world in what is unchanging to freeze when a society - here is a small village community - to suffocate in a rut is threatening and people only hold on out of habit to each other and their daily monotony, which makes them not really happy, as "quiet happiness" call, then may be cleaning and a fresh start disaster.

Emily Bronte can affect the demonic forces of hell in her only novel - by a single human being who carries both boundless hatred to the dehumanization and the extreme form of pure love in itself and sweeps like a force of nature through the honest rurality.

Heathcliff is brought by Mr Earnshaw as foundling from Liverpool in the backwater Gimmerton somewhere in Yorkshire. Together with Cathy Earnshaw's children and Hindley growing the mysterious boy who speaks little and is possessed by a sinister intelligence, on the yard Wuthering Heights. In the boyish Cathy Heathcliff is not only a sister and friend, but his ideal, his eternal love. He idolized, submits to, even though he is otherwise very stubborn, very to their will and therefore considers it natural that he will naturally later receive as his wife.

Appearance Edgar Linton, the somewhat anemic son of the richest landowners in the area. Edgar is phlegmatic and boring, what you would call a good guy now, but he looks good and rich. Cathy who thinks quite similar to Jane Austen's heroines pragmatic and civil aware Edgar decides to marry. While this is obviously a marriage of convenience, although it certainly affection brings Edgar contrary, but for Heathcliff breaks in the truest sense the world.

He leaves the village and returns for years back a rich man. But the wily peasant housekeeper Nellie Dean, the narrator of the story, recognizes that Heathcliff has changed not only for the better. He has gone mad and in his madness it's him not to carry out its love but to the destruction of everything that offended him and his boyish life dream made naught.

"Heathcliff raging capable reader to shock today," wrote an interpreter. If the Geschehenisse one imagines real, this assessment is correct: Heathcliff is partly literally over corpses (He killed himself perhaps only one of the characters palpable, the other he drives to his death), lying, scheming, abused both mentally and physically , humiliated and used other. Amazingly, it creates no one to oppose him. Surprise to you unexpectedly is this atavistic violence that defies ruthless about law, morality and human decency every spark.

But as the reader already thinks the whole world is sinking in Gimmerton in misery appear glimmer of hope that - surprise, surprise! - Even the relentless and furious Heathcliff redemption and salvation promise.

The new world that now opens, is better than the old, the characters more suffered by the time of chaos.

Yes, you have to look closely to see the "good" in the characters, because this is so far a novel of realism, as he explores the dark side of human unvarnished and without a clear vote. Things would never have written about Jane Austen, although they of course knew of such human abysses, and Emily's sister Charlotte at once morally estimates and thus relativized.

A gnarled, unusual masterpiece of some no less eccentric author who is said to have brought the time saying that she prefers the domestic dog all human beings.
