 INTRODUCTION
• This is a site that can be provide you
  with a broader view of Wuthering
  Heights. Here we focus on the author,
  Emily Bronte. The author must have
  the most direct influence on the
  novel, so we collect many materials
  and sort out the information they
  maybe helpful for you to understand
  Wuthering Heights more.
 MAIN CHARACTERS

• Mr. Lockwood — look like the protagonist, but he
  was just a narrator !

  to hate !

 SUMMARY
• Heathcliff was a fosterling in
  Earnshaw’s family, but he was
  treated very badly, especially
  Hindley. He loved Cathy very much,
  but Cathy betrayed him and married
  Edgar. So Heathcliff hated
  Earnshaw’s ..and Linton’s families.
  And from that time on, he planned to
  avenge them. Finally, he won all the
  fortune from these two families by
  hood, but he never got truth love!
 REFLECTION

• It is a story that discusses love. It
  not only talks about love between
  lovers, but also mentions some
  questions about love between friends,
  relatives, etc…
• If you read it carefully, you will
  notice that there are many things
  like the details of our daily life. And
  we often make the same mistakes,
  don’t we?
 CONCLUSION
• I think the environment that Emily
  Bronte lived in influences the reason
  why she arranged “death and illness”
  appearing constantly. At the time she
  lived, there was a kind of epidemic-
  scarlet fever spreading widely in
  which they lived. Consequently, as a
  result of being this surrounding, she
  wrote Wuthering Heights with a
  series of death and illness.
