Abstract
By analyzing the novel, "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, this paper examines the effects of madness on the character Catherine Linton's health and concludes that her health problems were brought on by her temper and fits of rage. It also examines Heathcliff's sanity and how it effected his health. The paper takes into account Heathcliff's calculated revenge and draws similarities to William Shakespeare's character, Hamlet. It also shows how Heathcliff uses madness to control the character Isabella.
From the Paper
"Madness can assume many different forms: a concept demonstrated throughout Emily Bront??s Wuthering Heights. Through both character development and their actions, Wuthering Heights presents various forms of madness in the characters and shows how this insanity affects not only the characters themselves but also those close to them. Many characters exhibit behaviors that appear to be ?mad?. Some, such as Catherine, may be truly insane while others may, at times, be feigning madness as a means to control the actions of others. Heathcliff also has tendencies that make him seem insane, but is he really? At times, his actions seem to contradict themselves, leading the reader to ponder the true meaning of insanity itself."

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
The paper explores the conflicts between love and social class in Emily Bronte's novel "Wuthering Heights," focusing on the relationship between Heathcliff and Cathy Earnshaw. The paper explains how love was subordinate to class in the era of the novel.
From the Paper
"Love And Social Class: The Central Conflict of "Wuthering Heights." In Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" the reader is introduced to the characters of Heathcliff and Catherine, Cathy Earnshaw Linton, two people who despite significant differences in their social class and relative status love one another with a passion that defies convention. As Deborah Epstein Nord suggests, Heathcliff is depicted by Bronte as the romantic yet dangerous gypsy, a person who enters Wuthering Heights as a parentless street urchin."

Abstract
This paper closely analyzes Emily Bronte's novel "Wuthering Heights". It looks at the structure and characters of the novel, while providing an overview of the plot.
From the Paper
"The Brontes have always had the misfortune of being spoken of as though they were a single entity, as if what was true of one is true of all. The grounds for doing so are strictly biographical; they were a close-knit family, only four years separating Charlotte, the eldest, from Anne, the youngest. Emily Bronte?s only novel is Wuthering Heights, a novel published in mid-December 1847, along with Anne?s work, Agnes Grey. After the deaths of her sisters, Charlotte released new editions of both works in one bound, adding ?biographical notices? to the end of Wuthering Heights. ? The immature but very real powers revealed in Wuthering Heights were scarcely recognized,? Charlotte wrote; ?its import and nature were misunderstood, the identity of its author was misrepresented.? (Peterson, 290) Contrary to the beliefs of her sister, Emily Bronte?s Wuthering Heights has repeatedly been acknowledged by critics for its originality, genius and imaginative power.( Peterson, 290)"

Through analysis of the story, factors such as childhood experiences, social class, and physical surroundings are highlighted as influences on personality development.

From the Paper
"It seems to be Bronte?s suggestion that all the characters are creatures of their upbringing, and how they were born. ??He must have had some ups and downs in life to make him such a churl. Do you know anything of his history??? (Bronte Chapter 4). Indeed, when he first came to the house it seems his personality was already set. He was ?hard,? and the other children picked on him, but he simply shrugged it off. He was already used to needed no one, and he never changed."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the book 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte.
The paper focuses primarily on the theme of displacement that is prevalent throughout the book. According to the paper, Bronte uses windows, doors and gates to reinforce a sense of physical estrangement.
From the Paper
"The problem of seeing something one cannot access, and acting as a voyeur into someone's privacy is how Catherine's troubles began, while Catherine was a girl, wandering with Heathcliff on the moors. Then, Catherine first saw the Lintons through a window with Heathcliff. Heathcliff explains this to Nelly Dean, in an extended monologue in Chapter 6, another example of narrative 'framing' through a narrative that is reported from one person to another: "[we] planted ourselves on a flower-plot under the drawing-room window [to watch the Lintons]," he says to Nelly, describing his adventures with Catherine. Catherine at Heathcliff, at the window, see the quarreling Linton children as unhappy: "Shouldn't they have been happy? We should have thought ourselves in heaven...[in] the middle of the table sat a little dog, shaking its paw and yelping; which, from their mutual accusations, we understood they had nearly pulled in two between them. ...I'd not exchange, for a thousand lives, my condition here, for Edgar Linton's at Thrushcross Grange." (Chapter 6) Later, of course, Heathcliff does just that--forcing himself into the Linton's sphere by longing for Linton's wife, by marrying Isabella and finally taking control over the Grange."

Abstract
Emily Bronte's classic novel, "Wuthering Heights", is a fascinating portrayal of a family and associated people in constant turmoil. Though some of its events might be difficult to believe, similar situations occur today in families everywhere. Therefore, I have put this story into a modern-day setting, using the characters' same names, but changing the narrator to a person not found in the original book - a gardener who works at the estate. He is the narrator who reports on the happenings, the triumphs and the tragedies involving the family.

Abstract
This paper contends that the ending of the novel "Wuthering Heights" poses many a problem for the reader and that an unequivocal interpretation of it, and of the whole text for that matter, is not possible. The paper discusses how the ending has to be put in relation to what lies behind the events it narrates and not to what is apparent. It also argues that a decision has to be taken as to how we are to regard the fact that both narrators, Lockwood and Nelly, whom the author has given us plenty of reasons to mistrust, are perfectly in accord with the way that the novel concludes.
From the Paper
"The nature and direction of our interpretation depends much on what we take Emily Bronte's attitude to be towards the second generation. Wuthering Heights could very well end with the words "Together they would brave Satan and all his legions." However, the author chooses to add almost a page of impressions which apparently have nothing to do with the young couple. After all, the final close-up left to the reader is not the image of the two young lovers under the moonlight but the unsettling gloomy vision of an isolated graveyard. The choice of such setting is entirely of the writer's making. Emily Bronte, intentionally or not, creates an ambiguity on all levels of the narrative. In this connection, when trying to determine to what extent the machinery of the Gothic and the delicately calculated presence of the Fantastic are at work in the ending of Wuthering Heights, we realise that it cannot be affirmed with surety that one single type of imagery pervades the final pages.

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."

Linton Heathcliff is the only male left in the Linton family therefore he will inherit the house. Heathcliff does not like his own son Linton Heathcliff.
