Abstract
This paper analyzes Emily Bronte?s Wuthering Heights, published in 1847 when England?s political climate showed evidence of an emerging feminist movement. The paper examines the heroine, Catherine Earnshaw and her figurative double, Heathcliff to illuminate Bronte?s commentary on the maddening confinement of female individuality.
From the Paper
"As a result of her hopelessness, Heathcliff becomes Catherine?s device for strength. So when little Catherine asked for a whip, she got Heathcliff instead who proved to be her metaphorical ?whip? in using him as a tool for power."

Abstract
This paper explains that Emily Bront??s novel, ?Wuthering Heights?, is a work of contrasts, such as masculine versus feminine, the introvert versus the extrovert, and power over passivity. The author points out that the female desiring power in a patriarchal environment contrasts sharply with a male?s desire for the civilizing effect of culture. The paper relates, in detail, the portrayal of Catherine and Heathcliff as two sides of one being, which assists the reader in the discovery that "Wuthering Heights" is not a love story in the usual style.
From the Paper
"Heathcliff?s side is introversion. From the point of his introduction into the Height?s household, the boy is described as gibbering and unable to communicate. From this can be seen that the boy, however objectionable, is isolated. His initial treatment at the hands of Mrs. Earnshaw and the children heightens this isolation, and he becomes ostracized. Even Nelly Dean, the servant, refers to the child as ?it? and describes him as a ?sullen, patient child? (22). Heathcliff doesn?t seem to react to either emotional or physical bullying. Hindley repeatedly attacks him, but Heathcliff does not react. Rather he internalizes his reactions. He is pushed under the hooves of a horse and bears this with silence and coolness. Nelly mistakenly reads this reaction as being proof that the child is not vindictive, but later finds this not to be the case (23). The child has internalized and introverted his anger, not in order to diffuse it, but to store and hone it for later use."

Abstract
In this paper the author examines romantic narratives and considers some of the reasons why this type of novel became quite popular over the course of the 19th century Victorian era. The author moves on to consider the Gothic genre and makes comparisons to other acclaimed writers.
From the paper:
?Ultimately, to identify a work of literature of any scope as existing within a particular genre will always result in a mixture of elements, as reflected in section four of Jameson's ?Magical Narratives? essay on the subject. Unless an author writes quite self-consciously with a particular genre, which Bronte did not, such construction is ultimately artificial.?

Abstract
"The place of women in society was long subordinate to the male and remains so today to a great degree even in the supposedly enlightened Western democracies. In the nineteenth century, it was especially difficult for a woman to find any means of becoming independent, and women generally remained dependent on their fathers, their husbands, or some other male relative.
From the Paper
"The place of women in society was long subordinate to the male and remains so today to a great degree even in the supposedly enlightened Western democracies. In the nineteenth century, it was especially difficult for a woman to find any means of becoming independent, and women generally remained dependent on their fathers, their husbands, or some other male relative. Few women worked, and those who did generally worked in menial capacities and also had to face the scorn of society. A woman such as the title character in Emily Bront?'s novel Jane Eyre is at the mercy of fortune in a number of ways. Jane Eyre can serve as an example of the difficulties which a woman had to overcome to achieve any sense of independence as a woman in her time. She is also an example of the shifting role of women in victorian literature, a woman with a traditional role but with a ..."

"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, 1993.
A discussion of obsessive love as the cause of violence between the major characters.

From the Paper
"This study will examine the violence in Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights to determine what thesis the author is suggesting about the nature and causes of violence.
The fundamental thesis with respect to the nature and causes of violence, insofar as it pertains to this novel, is that violence is generated by a passionate and obsessive love that two individuals have for each other. Certainly there are other factors at work in the novel --- the physical environment, the various psychoses and neuroses of other characters, even heredity --- but the author's focus on the passions of Heathcliff and Catherine makes it clear that she believes violence to be rooted especially in the almost inhuman, or superhuman, attraction that the two main characters have for each other. In short, they simply love each other too much for their own good or for the..."

From the Paper
" Emily Bront? (1818-48) was born in the parsonage at Thornton in Yorkshire and two years later her father became rector of Haworth, also in Yorkshire. Her single novel, Wuthering Heights, is infused with the spirit of the moors around Haworth and the singular nature of the Bront? family's lives and accomplishments have made biography-based criticism the principle approach to their novels. While there is much in the novels of Charlotte and Anne that is clearly derived from their own experience, Emily's great work is less susceptible to this approach. Very little is known about her short life and much of what is known is filtered through the protective, and defensive, Charlotte. Thompson's recent analysis of the role of gender in the initial reception of Wuthering Heights and her critique of the "Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell" that Charlotte appended to the 1850 edition..."

Landscape in Literature, 2003.
A comparison of the use of landscape in "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte and "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" by Thomas Hardy.

Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth discussion on the use of landscape description in two novels: "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte and "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" by Thomas Hardy. It focuses on the symbolic use of landscape, the position of man in the natural world and the effect that Darwin's theory had on the attitude towards nature and the effect that this had on Victorian writers. It shows how both Hardy and Emily Bronte found inspiration in their native landscape; Hardy from Dorset and Emily Bronte from the Yorkshire moors and how both novelists based their landscape descriptions either partially or wholly on their native region.
From the Paper
"Hardy features prominently as one of our great visualizers; he is a landscape novelist, and his descriptive passages are central to his fiction. He brings poetic techniques to his fiction, and writes using symbols and images. In Hardy, the sense of time and place is very strong. George Sampson points out that the landscape descriptions in Hardy?s novels take on more significance than do his characters: ?The most impressive character in his novels is not a person, but a place? Indeed, nature is frequently personified and given individuality in Hardy?s novels. Trees have ?inquisitive eyes? , the river speaks as though it were human: ?the river says, - ?why do ye trouble me with your looks?? , and the ?rhubarb and cabbage plants slept? ."

Abstract
The paper offers an analysis of three novels by the three Bronte sisters (Anne, Charlotte and Emily) that demonstrates the struggle of women in the Victorian era trying to achieve equality and the right to express intellectual and sexual feelings.
From the Paper
"Sisters Anne, Charlotte and Emily Bronte were all authors whose works often revolved around women's issues with respect to living in a patriarchal society. Women in the era in which the sisters wrote were often limited to roles of wife, mother or family caretaker and were seldom able to express their own feelings or emotions. This was particularly true in relations with men and in expressions of sexuality."

Abstract
The paper examines the character of Emily in William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily", and shows how her state of mind was not normal.

Introduction
The Character of Emily Grierson
Conclusion
From the Paper
""A Rose for Emily" is short story by William Faulkner relating the life of Emily Grierson. This literary piece was first read in the 1930 issue of Forum magazine.
"Described as a weird spinster of her time, Emily was an old maid whose life became of interest to the residents of her town as her relationships with her father, a lover, and her male helper revolved around the house where she was known to have lived until her death. The secrets that Emily kept were something that the people of Jefferson town tried to uncover which was consequently revealed at the end of the story. What made this short story of Faulkner popular was the way he weaved the sinister personalities of the characters and its gruesome finale (Faulkner and Inge, 1970)."

Abstract
This paper explains how Faulkner demonstrates how the character of Miss Emily and the superficially genteel character of the small Southern town in which she lives enable the murder of Homer, Emily?s beloved, to take place without the town punishing Emily?s crime.
From the Paper
"The murder is foreshadowed by the way the town and Emily?s father treats the woman her entire life. Her denial of reality is encouraged by the town?s protection of its aristocracy and her father?s feeling that no one is good enough for his daughter. This special treatment allows Miss Emily to deny her need to pay taxes and the demise of her father. In her mind she eventually becomes ?married? to the suitor of her choice through death, and to continues to enact the persona of the proper Southern belle, despite her status as a murderer."

Abstract
The paper describes the social position of the character of Emily Grierson in William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" and her relationship with her father. The paper attempts to explain how Emily's status and postion lead her to become so desperate emotionally that she is willing to kill a man in order to secure his contact.
From the Paper
"Emily Grierson, the main character from William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily," is an example of the haughty and untouchable stereotype of the southern belle early in her life. The townspeople did not send their children to her with boxes of color and tedious brushes and pictures cut from the ladies' magazines because the front door closed upon the last one and remained closed for good. Faulkner uses flashbacks as the townspeople attempted to reconstruct an accurate picture of Miss Emily's actions starting with her death, explaining a lady of such noble birth, and her desperate private action to have someone to love."

William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily", 2006.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in "A Rose for Emily", the protagonist Emily Grierson is a woman unable and unwilling to accept the changing tides of time and the dangers involved with such behavior. The author points out that an important technique Faulkner utilizes to emphasize Emily's denial to accept change is the narrator's shift between past and present; the present tense is identified with change and progression while the past is coupled with death and darkness. The paper relates that to demonstrate how Emily is living a life of denial. Faulkner proves that Emily's father is a major factor for her very isolated lifestyle; Emily's greatest denial is that her father simply cannot be dead.
From the Paper
"With Homer, Emily is in denial that he could never love her. As a result of her father's teachings, Emily is quiet arrogant and the "Griersons held themselves a little too high for what they really were" (454). Homer brings a certain level of complexity to Emily's life and the story as well because of what he represents. Homer is no doubt a symbol of change and progression that represents the modern day Jefferson. However, for Emily, Homer represents something entirely different to Emily, which allows us to see the more disturbed nature of her character."
