A literary analysis of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Malice and love in Wuthering Heights illuminate that early 19th century England could not accept or nurture-unbridled love causing blind rage and an almost unquenchable desire for revenge. Heathcliff is blindly in love with Catherine and is consumed with the fires of hatred and malice when he is unable to marry Catherine. His only driving force is that of revenge. <Tab/>Bronte's diction in Wuthering Heights shows the undying, yet impossible …

…his hatred is still presence but having no place to direct it, his love and desire to be untied with Catherine yield him prone to late night walks and fasting. Eventually we see that he looses the only force driving him to survive, his hatred and desire for revenge. The novel shows the consuming power of revenge and malice, all caused by the never changing love of Heathcliff and his inability to forgive nor forget.
