"...if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it."
The much-acclaimed classic Wuthering Heights is a Victorian novel by Emily Brontë. The story follows the passionate, all-consuming relationship of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, an orphan adopted by Catherine's father. As the two reach adulthood, their love, almost bordering on violence, destroys their lives and leaves a wound whose depth spans generations. Written during the mid-nineteenth century, the book not only reflects upon but also questions the era's beliefs in religion, morality, class and the position of a woman in society. This book remains Emily Brontë's only finished novel.
