Catherine of Aragon
The Book Catherine of Aragon written by Garrett Mattingly is about the life of Catherine of Aragon,
the princess of Spain during the late 1400's and early 1500's. The book begins with Catherine's life
as a small child, before she became Queen. The first section of the book talks of Catherine's
upbringing as a princess and includes details on the duties of her and her siblings. A good example
of this is described on page 17 as it shows how Catherine and her sisters had to be educated on their
bloodline, heraldry and genealogy as well as dancing, cooking, and horsemanship which were the
interests of her class) . In 1501, Catherine is sent to England to marry Henry VII's son, Arthur.
However, their marriage lasts briefly because Arthur ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Although it contains loads of historical facts and important information from that time period
(1400–1500's), it is presented in a story–like form. All of the facts given in this book are accurate
and follow a sequential order. There are footnotes throughout the book that tell you where Mattingly
got his sources from. The author used primary documents throughout the book as well as transcripts
from the Public Record Office. There are some parts of the book that are unnecessary and at times
confusing. There are some sections of the book that have quotations of what the king or someone
else says that is unnecessary since it's written in a narrative style. It is pointless to put that in the
book because it does not really do much for the reader. It does not paint a clearer picture of what the
narrator is saying. Therefore, it has no significance. As well, the narrator constantly poses questions
throughout the book that make it confusing to the reader. It leaves the reader wondering whether or
not it really happened or whether the narrator is saying this hypothetically. There are parts that deal
with the Queen but aren't crucially important and are possibly given just as background information.
For example, at the beginning of the book, it talks about the way Ferdinand is ruling or about
acquaintances of Catherine and Henry in long lengths. If those areas were cut down shorter, there

Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte
Violence Written in 1847 by Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights follows the life of Heathcliff, the
family that raised him and those who impacted his life. It is a novel that goes from present day to
past events to explain why Heathcliff is the way he is and how the story has formed throughout his
life and the lives of those around him. Emily Bronte used imagery and diction to create the physical,
verbal, and animalistic violence that was displayed in Wuthering Heights. The most common form
of violence that is displayed in Wuthering Heights is physical violence. Many of the characters are
violent towards one another. One of the most violent characters would be Catherine Linton, who
was very fond of physically harming others, "wicked aunt Cathy,' which drew her fury on to his
unlucky head: she seized his shoulders, and shook him till the poor child was waxed livid..."
Catherine Linton would physically harm others if she did not get what she desired. Bronte's imagery
of Cathy shaking young Hareton is very powerful, it makes it clear to the reader how far Cathy will
go. Cathy is not bother by hurting a child and can be very intense. By using words such as wicked
and fury Bronte creates a violent diction in her novel further proving that Wuthering Heights is a
novel of violence. An essay written by Judith E. Pike describes the some of the physical violence
that occurs and the novel. Pike describes the physical violence the Isabella Linton experienced at the

Emily Bronte 's Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights is one of the most famous novels of the Victorian time period. Emily Brontë
coins the intricacy of her creations in a multitude of admirable literary ways. In this tragic and
twisted love story, Brontë presents her characters in pairs, conveys a unique story–telling method,
and utilizes internal character turmoil in order to build the distinct characterization of many
characters. The complexity of the characters' beings leads way to a compelling love story that also
serves as a great mystery.
The characters in Wuthering Heights are as similar as they are different. In order to emphasize the
characters' differences and similarities, Brontë presents her characters in pairs. This could either be
through the use of a foil, the two part nature of couples, or the natural division of human nature.
"The key figures, moreover – Cathy and Isabella, Heathcliff and Edgar, Linton and Hareton, and
Nelly and Lockwood – are drawn in sharp contrast to one another" (Berlinger 186). Heathcliff and
Edgar are most certainly foils. The first was picked up on the street by a wealthy man who brought
Heathcliff home and raised him as his son. The second was raised from birth in a wealthy
household. Heathcliff can be viewed as an obsessive and vengeful character. "Heathcliff, according
to Isabella, is 'not a human being'" (Lodine–Chaffey 211). In stark contrast, Edgar is loving and
compassionate and wishes nothing but the best for his beloved wife and sister. Heathcliff and Edgar

Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights Essay
Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights In "Wuthering Heights," we see tragedies follow one by one,
most of which are focused around Heathcliff, the antihero of the novel. After the troubled childhood
Heathcliff goes through, he becomes embittered towards the world and loses interest in everything
but Catherine Earnshaw –his childhood sweetheart whom he had instantly fallen in love with.–and
revenge upon anyone who had tried to keep them apart. The novel begins with a few short

As Heathcliff aged, his love for Catherine–first shown on the night of Mr. Earnshaws death when
only the two of them can comfort each other–blossomed and bloomed not into the rose which would
have been expected from such a strong, passionate love, but into the twisted thorn bush of
Heathcliff's dark revenge. After Mr. Earnshaws death Catherine's elder brother, Hindley, became the
new proprietor of Wuthering Heights. Under Hindley's guiding hand, Heathcliff was sent out into
the fields with the servants and was no longer aloud to be educated along with Catherine. This was
the first time that the two of them were separated, and it later led to Heathcliff's wreaking his
revenge upon Hindley by first driving him to drink, taking his land with gambling debts, and
corrupting his son Hareton in the same way that Hindley had done to Heathcliff, but to an
exaggerated degree. The next "victim" of Heathcliff's revenge was Edgar Linton. Once Heathcliff
began working in the field, Hindley saw to it that his sister would never lower herself and take an
orphan gypsy boy as a husband. He does this by seeing to it that Catherine spends as much time
with Edgar and Isabella Linton as possible. With them, she becomes even more spoiled then she had

The Other Boleyn Girl
The Other Boleyn Girl It is said that we are doomed to repeat history if we do not learn from it. Let
us hope that history does not repeat itself with the era of the Tudors. King Henry the VIII ruled
according to his own wants and desires. He would favor people with great gifts or on a whim take
their life. His rule was a time of tip toeing and avoiding displeasing him or The Church.
Unfortunately, in order to learn from history, its stories and facts must retold truthfully and
accurately. If our only retelling of the story of Mary and Anne Boleyn comes from The Other
Boleyn Girl, I am afraid history will repeat itself. The film's focus is primarily the lives of Anne and
Mary Boleyn, two sisters who compete for the attention of King Henry VIII. (Robison and Parill
Sue) It attempts to give an inside look of who they were, how they acted, the choices they made, the
decisions they made, and their consequences. In the book, Tudors On Film And Television we are
told that the thesis of the film is that although they love each other they envy each other as well, but
their love for each other persists through all their difficulties. (Robison and Parill Sue) There is
debate about who was older– Mary or Anne? It is assumed that it was Mary since she married first.
In reality, we are not entirely sure but it was true that Mary had married first.

Henry VIII: The Narcissistic King Essay
When Henry VIII ascended to the throne in 1509, he became yet another English monarch without
absolute power over his realm. Despite not having the same authority as his contemporary European
monarchs, Henry was the recipient of two very important prerequisites for a successful reign. The
first was a full treasury and the second was a peaceful transfer of power, which had been anything
but certain in England since the War of the Roses. At first he was content to enjoy the fruits of his
father's labor, but ultimately he sought glory in his own name. Henry plunged into needless conflict
in Europe, eliminated anyone who opposed him, and became so obsessed with securing a male heir
that he engineered a split with the Catholic Church. It was ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net
...
Henry would never gain the French Crown or be known as a warrior king, but he would become
known for something of greater significance. Henry VIII's desire for military glory was possibly
only surpassed by his infatuation with producing a male heir. Although she had been a model queen
in many respects, Catherine had not produced a male heir and this was of the utmost importance to
Henry. To him, it was unthinkable that the throne could fall peacefully to a girl. He eventually
looked to another woman to satisfy this desire, but first he needed to get rid of Catherine. The only
way for Henry to receive an annulment was to secure a papal dispensation. In order to achieve this
Henry citied a passage in Leviticus that stated, "If a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an
impurity: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless." He was seemingly
convinced that since he had married his deceased brother's wife he was to remain without an heir.
This passage also presented quite a contradiction however because Henry and Catherine were not
without a child, but had just not had a son. This was either lost completely upon Henry or simply
ignored. Either way he was asking the Pope to go back on his initial ruling. He had previously
decided that since Catherine had not consummated the marriage with Henry's brother, it was okay in
the eyes of God that they be married. In addition to having to contradict himself, the Pope was

Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte
Jieyi Zhang Ms. Power ENG1D7 Monday, January 12, 2015 Wuthering Heights, a novel written by
Emily Brontë, is true to its name. Wuthering, meaning a fierce wind, pertains to the wind stirring the
souls of the two characters, Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and brings their emotions to
extreme heights, which results in extreme behaviour and acting without thinking about the possible
consequences. The main theme of this gothic romance novel is passion. The strong emotions such as
love, hate, and desire that Catherine and Heathcliff feel for each other and the people around them
controls their actions and makes their behaviour excessive, driving the story forward and generating
action in the novel. The character depicted as most passionate is Heathcliff. His passion is dark and
vengeful. Adopted into the Earnshaw family as a child, he grew up with Catherine. As they played
together on the moors, unrestrained by responsibility and completely free, they developed feelings
for each other. Heathcliff feels betrayed when Catherine decides to marry Edgar Linton instead of
him. He had overheard Catherine's conversation with Nelly, in which she'd said: "...did it never
strike you that if Heathcliff and I married, we should be beggars?" (pg 97) Heathcliff's feelings for
Catherine is more than just love. He states, after Catherine's death, "Be with me always – take any
form – drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is

How Far Henry the Eighth Pursued New Policies During the Period 1509–1514 Henry VIII became
king in 1509. His policies were completely different to his fathers', Henry VII. Henry VII was a
wise and calculating man, who would think through his actions before he would take them, he
would consider the long term and short term advantages and disadvantages of his actions. However
Henry VIII was quite the opposite and he was emotional and took decisions straight away without
analyzing them unlike his father. These differences caused Henry VIII to purse new policies and
abolish the traditional ones which had been used by his father. When Henry VIII took the throne in
1509, at the age of 17, he made it ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
When Henry VII was on the throne he had been imposing heavy taxes on the people. The people
despised taxes and especially hated the two main taxmen, Richard Empson and Edmund Dudley. So
Henry VIII tried to gain the popularity and the support of the people by executing Richard Empson
and Edmund Dudley. This definitely gave him the short–term popularity he was after, but without
tax, this would affect his finances. Henry VIII's decision to continue the Hundred Years War cost the
government a lot. Around £1.7 million was spent on preparing England and its allies for war. His
aim was to seize the French Crown, and make England and himself greater, by means of war. His
policy on finance was not like his fathers, he didn't realise what problems he would face after
stopping tax. His ally in the war was his Father–in–law, Ferdinand Aragon and it was decided that
Spain and England would go to war against France in 1512. But Henry VIII's ideas of conquering
France did not succeed. Firstly because the Spanish did not turn up to fight, due to the Pyrenees
mountains, on the border of Spain and France. The English troops get dysentery due to the water in
France as it was contaminated. Even though Henry VIII failed to attack France, this didn't prevent
him from trying again. In 1513, Henry VIII decided to attack France again, this time with the help of

Hinley, Isabella, and young Cathy. The main character Heathcliff is influenced with the element of
gothicism and romanticism. Gothicism shape Heathcliff appearance and actions. Romanticism
portrays through Heathcliff passion for Catherine.
Romanticism played a huge part in this English novel. The novel is structured around two parallel
love stories. Catherine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earnshaw, fell in love with Heathcliff, an orphan
her father brings home from Liverpool. Catherine and Heathcliff's love is based on their shared
perception that they are identical. "He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more
than i am always, but as my own being. So don't talk of our separation again: it is impracticable",
said catherine (Bronte 101). The two young lovers have strong feeling for each other because they
grew up together and they have a lot in common. Heathcliff left Wuthering Heights, when he

Analysis Of The Book ' Wuthering Heights '
Section I: Significance of Title
The title of the book is named after the house where most of the action takes place. In the beginning,
Lockwood describes Wuthering Heights. "Wuthering Heights is the name of Mr. Heathcliff's
dwelling. 'Wuthering' being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult
to which its station is exposed in stormy weather. Pure, bracing ventilation they must have up there
at all times, indeed: one may guess the power of the north wind blowing over the edge, by the
excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the house; and by a range of gaunt thorns all
stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun. Happily, the architect had foresight to
build it strong: the narrow windows are deeply set in the wall, and the corners defended with large
jutting stones." This house is strong, because the people in it are not. Almost everyone that lives in
the house goes crazy and dies. It is more of a prison than a home.

Throughout Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff's personality could be defined as dark, menacing, and
brooding. He is a dangerous character, with rapidly changing moods, capable of deep–seeded
hatred, and incapable, it seems, of any kind of forgiveness or compromise. In the first 33 chapters,
the text clearly establishes Heathcliff as an untamed, volatile, wild man and establishes his great
love of Catherine and her usage of him as the source of his ill humor and resentment towards many

He refuses to eat, absents himself from the company of Cathy, Hareton, or Nelly, disappears
inexplicably for long intervals of time and refuses to explain his absences. Most disturbing, his
strange excitement continues, causing discomfort to all those around him, especially Nelly. When
Nelly asks him where he was the night before his he began to exhibit this odd elation, he tells her,
"Last night, I was on the threshold of hell. To–day I am within sight of my heaven –– I have my
eyes on it –– hardly three feet to sever me (278)!" His statement is ambiguous––it does little to
explain his sudden change of humor and little to satisfy Nelly's curiosity and wonder at his state. Joy
in most characters in Wuthering Heights is an uplifting state associated with happiness and delighted
exhilaration. However in Heathcliff, as Nelly observes, it is a horrible, frightening thing. In
Heathcliff, the mood arouses wariness and fear in others and indicates some inner change so
dramatic that its cause is almost unthinkable.
Heathcliff offers no coherent explanation for his sudden change of state and the text offers no
concrete solution as to what could have caused his dark exhilaration. Thus, the question of his
condition is left largely unanswered as Heathcliff continues to exhibit such uncharacteristic
behavior, inspiring all the more uneasiness in Nelly, especially. He frightens her greatly several

Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte
Wuthering Heights is a perfect example of how both denying and fulfilling a desire can lead to
danger. Desire is a fascinating concept because it encompasses a multitude of things in life. You can
desire someone in the sense of loving them or wanting to be with them. You can also desire to do
good in the world or have a desire for a specific job. It is by no means a simple subject to talk about,
especially accompanied by danger, an equally complex idea. The idea of danger can be physically,
mentally, and emotionally straining as well as societal. For example, being in danger of being
harmed, being in danger of becoming depressed, or, you could even be in danger of losing your
status in society. The idea of losing you status or your family name was an enormous concern during
the later 1700s and early 1800s which is when this book takes place. The characters in Wuthering
Heights give numerous examples of how indulging or not indulging in desire can have equally toxic
outcomes. In Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte uses the character relationships to demonstrate how
desire, fulfilled or not, is dangerous by showing the consequences of desire. Throughout literature
and history, desire has been considered dangerous due to the actions people have typically taken
when pursuing a desire. Emily Bronte does a brilliant job of displaying how desire, chased after or
not, can lead to dangerous outcomes. There is a section within the novel that represents this idea of

Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte
Primogeniture in 18th and 19th century England stemmed from the patriarchal structure within
society and families. Married women did not have status outside that of their husbands. Husbands
had legal and domestic agency over their wives and their household. Women were expected to
submit to their husband's wishes, and could not vote, own or control property. Wuthering Heights by
Emily Brontë examines these elements of 18th and 19th century English society with examples of
relationships in which women were treated as the property of men, and how as a result, women were
denied the legal status to own and have agency over property. Edgar and Heathcliff were both
patriarchal characters. Both men attempted to physically and emotionally control their wives by
confining them to their homes, and restricting the expression of their emotions. While they stripped
Catherine and Isabella of their identities in differing ways, the end result ended up very much the
same. Catherine was unhappy during the first several months of her marriage to Edgar. Nelly
compared Catherine to a thorn, before telling Lockwood that "I observed that Mr. Edgar had a deep–
rooted fear of ruffling her humour" (Brontë 95). Such a fear of upsetting someone would not be
necessary if they were happy. She went on to say that Catherine had experienced periods of "gloom
and silence", which Edgar attributed to her pregnancy (Brontë 96). Catherine's mood did not shift

Realism And The Victorian Era
So what does one do when said individuals that are of different blood and social statuses fall in
love? The Victorian Era was a time where your social status could be construed as directly
correlating to whom said individual could socialize with, marry, or have any ties too. Perhaps maybe
there weren't three individuals that knew this more than the three of Wuthering Heights Edgar
Linton, Catherine Earnshaw, and Heathcliff. The Victorian Era had many elements that could be tied
to it but the one that will be the center focus for this paper will be realism. Realism emphasized the
middle class and rejected the heroic in favor of the ordinary, focusing on common people and
common situations. In realism the middle class was simply feed up with social statuses and not
having a voice in society. Another group of people that simply were feed up with the norms of
society was that of women. Realism not only focused on the common class as a whole but on the
empowerment of women and letting these ladies voices be heard whether it was through writings
such as Wuthering Heights. Nevertheless, the Victorian Era was a time in which many would

The Realistic Objectives of Henry VII's Foreign Policy
According to the source, Henry's objectives were to ensure the security of his country and dynasty
and to avoid foreign military intervention i.e. build up good relationships with neighbouring foreign
powers. I also think that trade and prestige came into his objectives. Trade was important to him as
it ensured the power of his country and, again, was important to England's relationship with foreign
powers. Also prestige was important for Henry, but more for himself than for the good of the
country.
Why was foreign military intervention a problem for Henry VII between 1485 and 1509?

He was seeing a repeat of what had happened four years previously and, even though he had
defeated Lambert Simnel, he could not be so confident that he would manage it again. The fact that
Perkin Warbeck gained the support of James IV, Charles VIII and Maximilian Habsburg was what
worried Henry the most. Again it was more a matter of the way other powers had responded to the
pretender than Perkin Warbeck himself which posed a threat to Henry. When Perkin Warbeck
invaded England in 1495 he was quickly captured by Henry and sentenced to death. But although
Perkin Warbeck was dead, Henry was still worried by the fact that he had managed to get so much
international support. Could he rely on his neighbouring foreign powers anymore?
Foreign military intervention itself wasn't so much a problem for Henry: there were no large–scale
invasions of England during his reign and for the most part he managed to avoid war altogether. But
Henry was constantly worried about the threat of an invasion and pretenders like Perkin Warbeck
and Lambert Simnel only served as irritants to make him even more worried and to show him that
he didn't have the full support of important powers like France. One of his main purposes in life was
to secure the throne for his future dynasty. Therefore the avoidance of foreign invasion was of the

The Everlasting Child : Wuthering Heights
The Everlasting Child Wuthering Heights's Catherine Earnshaw is infamous for her complex
character, some arguing that she is manipulative, others sympathizing with the difficult choices she
is faced with. However, there is no doubt that she is innately childish. As Catherine grows older, her
character is not changed; she remains juvenile and selfish, making everything a game that revolves
around her. In a sense, her mindset never progresses past one of a child. As Sigmund Freud wrote in
The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, "What makes an
infant characteristically different from every other stage of human life is that the child is
polymorphously perverse". Children are dominated by what Freud labelled as the "ID", or the
unconscious instinctual selfish urges one experiences. Ultimately, children are egocentric, expect to
gain what they want, and do not understand complexity in others' feelings – all characteristics
Catherine exemplifies. Her selfishness goes beyond the "ordinary self–centeredness" (Thormahlen
5) one might encounter in a regular adult – rather, Catherine directly affects her relationships with
people through her "perverse" actions, and still does not recognize the harm in doing so. She exists
in an irresponsible state, not perceiving that "she cannot have, and be, everything she wants
whenever she wants it" (5) – and this is reflected in every single relationship she experiences. It is

Setting Analysis and Symbolism of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
In Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte uses the setting of the English Moors, a setting she is familiar
with, to place two manors, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. The first symbolizes man's
dark side while the latter symbolizes an artificial utopia. This 19th century setting allows the reader
to see the destructive nature of love when one loves the wrong person. The manor Wuthering
Heights is described as dark and demonic. In the English moors, winter lasted three times as long as
summer and the Heights and the land adjacent to it can be compared to winter, while Thrushcross
Grange can be described as the summer. Bronte describes the Heights as a ... Show more content on

Her every need is taken care of. Later, when she is confronted by Heathcliff, she is reminded of
Wuthering Heights and begins to miss the place she once was so eager to leave. Catherine begins to
see the Grange as superficial and confining, and at first she is only annoyed by this, but eventually
the suffocating enclosure causes Catherine to lash out at her husband and all the Grange represents.
Catherine, aware of her incestuous attraction to Heathcliff, believes the Grange is destroying her,
and because of her disgust of the Grange and her sense of guilt, it does. In the process, Edgar too
must suffer Catherine's pain because of his love for her. While Wuthering Heights was a symbol of
darkness and winter, Thrushcross Grange could only be described as its opposite. Thrushcross
Grange can be seen as a happy place that is light and summery. Its inhabitants are blissful and naive.
They did not worry or have to fend for themselves because there is always money and servants to
wait on them. The inhabitants of the house are ignorant of the cruelties and injustices of the outside
world. When Isabella, Edgar's sister, marries Heathcliff and is taken to the Heights, she too learns
these realities and is destroyed by them. She is imprisoned in the Heights by her husband. Isabella

Anne Boleyn 's The First Wife Of Henry Viii Essay
Anne Boleyn is a figure that continues to fascinate us centuries after she met her end on the scaffold.
The story goes that King Henry struggles with his conscience when it becomes clear that his wife
Catherine will not give him a male heir. He meets Anne and falls in love, and as a consequence
breaks with Rome and the Holy Roman Catholic Church to marry her. When she too fails to produce
the elusive son he desires he has her executed. The second wife of Henry VIII, Anne's is a biography
that many know, and yet this juxtaposes with the reality that her story is often oversimplified by the
salacious details of her life. In the context of the early English reformation, Anne was a player to the
colossal events of this period and for this, her role in them deserves to be more closely examined.
Anne is a fundamental part of the reformation to the extent that she allowed the door on it to be
cracked open through key events such as the divorce from Catherine of Aragon, the 'King's Great
Matter', the Break with Rome, and the Royal Supremacy to take place. The idea of divorcing his
first wife was not a relatively new one for King Henry. He had been married to Catherine of Aragon
for almost two decades by the late 1520s. For years Henry had had a growing concern as Catherine,
six years his senior, passed her childbearing years behind. It became increasingly likely she would
not be able to bear a son. During their marriage, they had suffered misfortune, from multiple

The Day Of One Of The Church 's Greatest Saints
June 22nd is the feast day of one of the Church's greatest saints, Thomas More. St. Thomas More
was one of the most gifted men of his day; he was a devout Catholic, brilliant scholar, writer,
lawyer, accomplished musician, and loving father. In addition to his many talents, his popular image
is one of a man, principled, steadfast, courageous, who placed his own conscience above his king's
demands. It was in London that Thomas More was born on 7 February 1477, the only surviving son
of John More and his first wife, Agnes Graunger. John More was a successful lawyer who was later
knighted and made a judge of the King's Bench; he was prosperous enough to send his son to
London's best school. He was well–connected and later secured his son's appointment as a
household page to John Morton, the archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Chancellor of England.
From a very young age Thomas More proved himself to be a remarkable man. By his early 20 's he
was lecturing on St. Augustine 's City of God to some of the foremost minds of his day as well as
rising rapidly through the ranks of his profession to become a prominent figure in English society.
More's adolescent years were spent under the reign of Henry VII, the first Tudor king. His patron
Morton was infamous as the architect of that king's very successful, and subsequently very
unpopular, tax policy. In 1504, More was elected to Parliament and one of his first acts was to
oppose Henry VII's request of a "grant" of three–fifteenths.

Analysis Of Mary Shelley 's ' Frankenstein '
The classic works of Emily Bronte and Mary Shelley are both classified as gothic era fiction novels.
Before reading them, the two novels seem to be polar opposites. While there are many differences,
there are also a handful of similarities throughout both novels. Bronte and Shelley both use setting,
revenge, and the role of women to highlight gothic elements of the era. The setting in both novels
brings a deeper meaning to the scene. The authors use weather to create tones for the scenes. For
example, storms can create a sense of anger or confusion, whereas sunlight may generate a sense of
happiness. Both novels are set in a cold, dreary time, adding to the theme of isolation throughout
each.
In Frankenstein, the reader is first ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The theme of revenge plays a big role in both novels. In Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff seeks
revenge because of other's actions against him. However, in Frankenstein, the monster seeks
revenge because of the way he looks and how others perceive him. While the characters in both
novels seek revenge for different reasons, they have one thing in common. Their need for revenge
ultimately stems from not being able to have what they want, leaving them alone and isolated.
Revenge is one of the most prominent themes in Wuthering Heights. At times throughout the novel,
it seems to overpower the theme of love. Heathcliff's desire for revenge arises from Catherine's
betrayal. He has been in love with her for a long time, and she loves him. However, she betrays him
and marries Edgar for his money. This action leaves Heathcliff alone and isolated, only to long for
her love again. "I seek no revenge on you, that 's not the plan. The tyrant grinds down his slaves and
they don 't turn against him; they crush those beneath them" (Bronte, p. 103). This quote shows that
Heathcliff is not trying to get revenge on Catherine. Although she turned against him, he cannot do
the same to her. "I 'm trying to settle how I shall pay Hindley back. I don 't care how long I wait, if I
can only do it at last. I hope he will not die before I do!" (Bronte p. 54). When he cannot have the

"Identify and discuss various representations of woman in Wuthering Heights"
The depictions of women in Wuthering Heights reveal that despair and happiness are direct
outcomes of one's decision to either be submissive to or oppose patriarchal constructs respectively.
Catherine and Cathy II are portrayed as examples of both how giving power to patriarchal demands
leads to misery and pain in contrast to how resisting patriarchal demands will lead to hope and joy.
Firstly, the underlying theme of freedom illuminates how the women are influenced to make such
critical decisions regarding their respective futures. Secondly, the concept of upbringing illustrates

Catherine views freedom as something unsafe and untameable and following patriarchy as safe and
more suitable despite it also constraining her natural ambitions (Garofalo, 2008: 831). Her choice
reflects the idea that freedom is undesirable as it dangerously goes beyond social norms and putts
her at odds with society (Hanlon, 1996: 506). Giving power to patriarchal demands results in
negative outcomes for Catherine's character – continued conflict with other characters, depression,
sickness, in the end, untimely death. Cathy II, who in her childhood had the idea of freedom kept
away from her, constantly attempts to resist patriarchal constructs in order to achieve being free.
Cathy II is represented as a tough, strong–willed female who opposes what others expect for her, in
the way she often uses the word 'defy' (REFERENCE), the way she aims to 'draw pleasure from the
grief of her enemies' (REFERENCE) and how she challenges Heathcliff to be physically violent
towards her (REFERENCE). A feminist perspective of the novel notes how Cathy II empowers both
herself and the female gender in the way she attempts to escape Wuthering Heights and make her
own, independent decisions (Hoeveler, 2000: 212–214). Cathy II's view of freedom is that it's a

Moral Poison: Heathcliff as an Antihero
In literature, a hero is fundamentally a paragon of moral strength while a villain is a challenger of
virtue. As the protagonist of Charlotte Brontë's Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff fulfills the broadest
definition of a literary hero but this only thinly veils his dark delight in causing torment that places
him squarely in the realms of villainy. His only trace of humanity is revealed by the transcendent
love he shares with Catherine. It is this value that evokes sympathy from the audience and mitigates
his immorality, rendering him an antihero rather than a villain. Brontë's choice to portray Heathcliff
so heinously allows vengeance to overwhelm love as the salient theme of the novel and therefore

The way in which the novel is structured allows for more sympathy towards Heathcliff, as the reader
experiences his hardships and isolation in childhood that become causes of his actions later on in the
novel. The story begins with a portrait of Heathcliff as a cold, reserved host, establishing the
personality he has as an adult before jumping back to his childhood. Because of the lack of
background information, the reader automatically distances themself from Heathcliff. As the plot
returns to the past and reveals the unwarranted terrorizing to which Hindley subjects Heathcliff, the
reader begins to grasp the reason why he grows up into such a desensitized, unpleasant adult. With
the experience of Heathcliff's difficult upbringing, the reader also better understands his need to
exact revenge on Hindley, his love for Catherine (as it grew out of the isolation of his childhood),
and the parallel between Hareton's childhood and his own. The progression of his character becomes
apparent and the contempt for Heathcliff from the beginning of the novel is softened by the
sympathy that comes from understanding the reasons behind his behavior. Heathcliff's role as an
antihero stems from his imbalance of good and bad characteristics and the way that the novel is

technique of symbolism is used to display visually to the film's audience what happens to Carol's

Obviously the camera then pans to see this – but it can hold onto the shot for longer than Carol
looks at it, giving the audience a chance to understand why Carol might look at it. As her state of
mind being like it is, what it symbolises only needs a casual look or glance at it from Carol. As a
symbol itself, the empty 'hut' represents a pathway or tunnel to a 'dark' kind of life – one filled with
despair, depression, anxiety, anger, fear, hate, and/or any other types of negative human qualities.
Near the end of the film, this 'dark' image is shown again, just after Carol kills the landlord with the
cut–throat razor. Her face is kept in shadow – an oval of near black – and is framed by her hair,
which enhances this image further because it is blond.
As I have implied before, Carol's understanding of life around her is distorted. She frequently sees
cracks appearing in walls – which can be read as cracks in her mind. In one instance, Carol sees a
crack in the pavement on her way to work. She becomes engrossed by it, and sits down on a bench
by it to simply look at it. The shot of the crack taken over her right shoulder shows that the crack
runs between her feet. It then splits into two cracks, making the entire crack look like a 'Y'. This
suggests that it is used as a symbol to show two paths in life to take: the first being the good,
realistic or sane path; the other being the bad, fantastic or insane path. Her boyfriend then finds her

Wuthering Heights for example is an isolated, dirty, 'off the beaten track' and sequestered place to
live. The way Brontë describes the house supports the way that Heathcliff is, "...wall...jutting
stones...wilderness...crumbling." Heathcliff as a person resembles this, he is a wild, free untamed
spirit.
======================================================================
Wuthering Heights itself portrays an image of Heathcliff because it is a dark, gothic, secret and
mysterious building. Brontë says that it is a strong building; he is a rough, strong man. His life
before he was brought to Wuthering Heights is never spoken of, as if it is a secret, like the house
having a mysterious feel about it.
Then when we compare the dark, dismal building and setting of Wuthering Heights to the bright,
elegant home of Edgar Linton, Thrushcross Grange it is completely ill matched. It is decorated
throughout with beautiful décor and a silk, cream, satin sort of light and soft look about it,

" I lingered around them, under the benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath and

beautifully written and leaves the reader on awe.
Wuthering Heights is in the same ethical and moral tradition as the other great Victorian novels. Its
criticism of society is as fierce as Charlotte Bronte's or Dickens'. Much of the same spirit interfuses
the novels of Charlotte and Emily Bronte. For both writers, society and what passes for civilization
are synonymous with selfishness. Both show family life as a sort of open warfare, a deadly struggle
for money and power. Both see organized religion as ineffective or hypocritical or so cold and harsh
as to be inhumane and deflected from true Christian ideals. The characters in Charlotte Bronte's first

Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte
I have often noticed that the romanticized relationship of Catherine and Heathcliff is usually the
center point of discussions and film adaptions of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. While their

Consequently, Catherine and Heathcliff's dysfunctional relationship not only leads to their own
demise but causes everyone else around them to suffer. However, I find that the often neglected
relationship of Cathy and Hareton to be more romantic and compassionate. Although initially their
relationship starts baldy, the two eventually develop a caring relationship built upon mutual trust

One theme that I noticed was prevalent throughout the book was the idea of the binary or doubles.

characters share similar names and circumstances, they do not always take after their namesake.
This makes me wonder what caused Cathy and Hareton's relationship to succeed while their
predecessor's relationship failed. Ultimately, Cathy and Hareton's deviation from Catherine and
Heathcliff allows them to break the cycle of misery and abuse that is present throughout the story.

that overall the "source of all power was the king." Lotherington argues that as Wolsey lacked the

Also, the king also looked to his Privy Council and Gentlemen's bedchamber for advice on issues,
as well as Wolsey, which shows that Henry shared the power throughout the court. Saying this
however, Wolsey had had more power than others (as seen in the Elthem Ordinances) where Wolsey
halved the members of Henry's gentlemen of the Bedchambers from twelve to six, and moved key
advisors overseas. This suggests that although the power was shared, Wolsey could still decide who
the king received advice from, which indirectly could be interpreted as Wolsey in total control. Also,
although source 5 describes the power of the factions Lotherington also states how Wolsey
"controlled the distribution of patronage" which was essential to gain power and status. This gives
the impression that Wolsey had overall control of government, and could either air or hinder the
careers of the "ambitious men." Saying this however, once the amicable grant failed in 1525 Henry

Analysis Of The Novel ' Wuthering Heights '
Independent Reading Journal – Wuthering Heights
Point of View – Wuthering Heights has two main narrators from whose point of view the novel is
written. Lockwood is the primary narrator, and much is of what takes place in the present is told
through his eyes, via first–person. The narration shifts to Ellen Dean, as she gives, to both
Lockwood and the reader, her version of past events. She serves as the peripheral narrator, who is
meant to tell the tale of what transpired before Lockwood's arrival to Wuthering Heights. Ellen's
story is filtered and recorded through Lockwood's perspective. There are however certain instances
where Nelly herself was not present and therefore relies on someone else's eyewitness report to
convey what transpired.
Syntax and Diction – Wuthering Heights presents a variety of different styles, ranging from
Catherine's poetic speech, Heathcliff's verbal ferocity, Lockwood's greater literary discourse, Nelly's
lecturing rhetoric, and Joseph's unintelligible muttering. Brontë is very much direct in her method of
introducing movement in the novel. Each sentence leads the reader directly to the thought
attempting to be conveyed. Just in the opening paragraphs it says "Pure bracing ventilation they
must have up there at all times, indeed one may guess the power of the north wind blowing over the

The Character of Hareton in Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Wuthering Heights, written by Emile Bronte, is on of the most famous Victorian novels in English
literature. This novel was the only novel written by her. The novel has the social and moral values in
England in the nineteenth century as the recurring theme. The adjective 'wuthering' is used in some
parts of rural England to describe stormy weather. Wuthering Heights is a farmhouse on top of a
small hillock, which is open to all the elements of wind and weather and hence is synonymous with
passion and violence. The other house nearby, Thrushcross Grange contrasts sharply with Wuthering
Heights. The two groups of people residing here, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
His pride is what holds him together and he does not allow himself to be pushed around by anyone
except Heathcliff. Above all, Hareton is the only person, with the exception of Catherine, who loves
Heathcliff, though it might be more due to a force of habit.
Hareton is introduced into the novel in the second chapter where he is described as a gruff man. But
his rough, yet friendly nature can be seen clearly from the fact that he is the only man in the
household who holds enough goodwill to let Lockwood into the house and bide him to sit down.
Also when Lockwood expresses his desire to go back to Thrushcross Grange despite the storm,
Hareton offers to accompany him up to the park, though he was adequately rebuked.
Hareton never knew the love of a mother and only had enough good fortune to have Nelly as a nurse
for a very short time. The combination of this and fact that Hindley, after Frances's death became a
wild, drunken and lost man, made Hareton a quiet child. We next see Hareton as six–year–old boy
with a mouth willing to let out a stream of curses. Heathcliff, after returning and lodging at
Wuthering Heights has started to extend his influence over Hareton. He stops his education but
makes him feel as though it was his own choice. By taking his side against Hindley, he effectively
turns Hareton against Hindley and wins his love and trust. Heathcliff gains a

The Success Of Louis Vuitton Essay
Louis Vuitton was a French box–producer and packer who established the extravagance brand of the
same name in excess of 150 years back. From humble beginnings in the French field, Vuitton 's
aptitude, development and determination rapidly saw his mark trunks desired by the world 's tip top.
Presently, with Marc Jacobs in charge as innovative chief since 1997, the house has extended its
putting forth to incorporate packs, apparel, shoes, frill and adornments, making it a standout
amongst the most profitable extravagance marks on the planet.
Vuitton was conceived on August 4, 1821 in Anchay, a little common laborers settlement in the east
of France. His dad, Xavier Vuitton, was a rancher and his mom, Coronne Gaillard – who passed on
when he was 10 – a mill operator.
At 13 years old, drained of common life and of his strict stepmother, Vuitton left home for Paris.
The 292 mile venture took him two years by walking with stops to complete odd employments to
help himself along the way.
Upon entry in Paris in 1837, Vuitton turned into a student at a fruitful box–production and pressing
workshop – a specialty that was exceptionally regarded at the time. Inside a couple of years he had
picked up a notoriety for being one of the best in his field in the city.
Vuitton 's fortunes climbed again in 1853 when he was named the individual box–creator and packer
of the Empress of France, Eugenie de Montijo – the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Empress
accused Vuitton of wonderfully

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Have you ever read a book where you have a hard time keeping track of characters and events and
the order of the book? Well than you must have come across this gothic novel called "Wuthering
Heights" by Emily Bronte. She combines more than one element of a gothic novel and that is
craziness, obsession and villain heroes. The novel is formed around the two similar love stories of
Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff and the young Catherine Linton and Hareton Earnshaw. The
motif of this book is full of doubles and repetitions; it has two protagonists as mentions earlier,
Catherine and Heathcliff, two narrators, Mr. Lockwood and Nelly, and two houses, Wuthering
Heights and Thrushcross Grange. In spite of all this, Emily Bronte wasn't just ... Show more content

This same symbol reappears when Cathy is a child and attacks Hareton saying, " I gave him a cut
with my whip." Also there is another moment in the novel that almost mirrors one another. After
Catherine corners Edgar, she urges him to return when he leaves saying, "You shall not leave me in
that temper." And later, when Cathy pushes Linton and then apologizes, she furiously says, "Don't
let me go home thinking I've done you harm!"Through these moments, this directly echoes's each
other. Cathy is basically repeating the life of Catherine. Both the scenarios and characterization give
away to the interpretation that Catherine and Cathy are indeed doubles of one another.
Upon reading the novel it seems like Hareton is also a mirror of Heathcliff, however, as the novel
proceeds, Hareton turns out to be rather different from Heathcliff. Hareton is bad tempered,
uncivilized and brutal. It seems as though Heathcliff's had proven his own theory "That one tree
would grow as crooked as another with the same wind to twist it." Heathcliff raises Hareton like his
own thus he would be more like him. Even though Healthcliff don't have feelings toward Hareton,
but we can say he sees something of himself in the character. Both characters were raised from a
bad position and are insulted as child. Heathcliff is bullied by Hindly, who calls him an " imp of
Satan," whereas it is Linton who taunts Hareton, who refers to him as the "devil." The demonic
imagery used to describe

Catherine Of Aragon

  • 1. Catherine of Aragon The Book Catherine of Aragon written by Garrett Mattingly is about the life of Catherine of Aragon, the princess of Spain during the late 1400's and early 1500's. The book begins with Catherine's life as a small child, before she became Queen. The first section of the book talks of Catherine's upbringing as a princess and includes details on the duties of her and her siblings. A good example of this is described on page 17 as it shows how Catherine and her sisters had to be educated on their bloodline, heraldry and genealogy as well as dancing, cooking, and horsemanship which were the interests of her class) . In 1501, Catherine is sent to England to marry Henry VII's son, Arthur. However, their marriage lasts briefly because Arthur ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Although it contains loads of historical facts and important information from that time period (1400–1500's), it is presented in a story–like form. All of the facts given in this book are accurate and follow a sequential order. There are footnotes throughout the book that tell you where Mattingly got his sources from. The author used primary documents throughout the book as well as transcripts from the Public Record Office. There are some parts of the book that are unnecessary and at times confusing. There are some sections of the book that have quotations of what the king or someone else says that is unnecessary since it's written in a narrative style. It is pointless to put that in the book because it does not really do much for the reader. It does not paint a clearer picture of what the narrator is saying. Therefore, it has no significance. As well, the narrator constantly poses questions throughout the book that make it confusing to the reader. It leaves the reader wondering whether or not it really happened or whether the narrator is saying this hypothetically. There are parts that deal with the Queen but aren't crucially important and are possibly given just as background information. For example, at the beginning of the book, it talks about the way Ferdinand is ruling or about acquaintances of Catherine and Henry in long lengths. If those areas were cut down shorter, there would be better focus for the reader and less distraction on ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 3. Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte Violence Written in 1847 by Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights follows the life of Heathcliff, the family that raised him and those who impacted his life. It is a novel that goes from present day to past events to explain why Heathcliff is the way he is and how the story has formed throughout his life and the lives of those around him. Emily Bronte used imagery and diction to create the physical, verbal, and animalistic violence that was displayed in Wuthering Heights. The most common form of violence that is displayed in Wuthering Heights is physical violence. Many of the characters are violent towards one another. One of the most violent characters would be Catherine Linton, who was very fond of physically harming others, "wicked aunt Cathy,' which drew her fury on to his unlucky head: she seized his shoulders, and shook him till the poor child was waxed livid..." Catherine Linton would physically harm others if she did not get what she desired. Bronte's imagery of Cathy shaking young Hareton is very powerful, it makes it clear to the reader how far Cathy will go. Cathy is not bother by hurting a child and can be very intense. By using words such as wicked and fury Bronte creates a violent diction in her novel further proving that Wuthering Heights is a novel of violence. An essay written by Judith E. Pike describes the some of the physical violence that occurs and the novel. Pike describes the physical violence the Isabella Linton experienced at the hands of Heathcliff, ...

  • 4. Emily Bronte 's Wuthering Heights Wuthering Heights is one of the most famous novels of the Victorian time period. Emily Brontë coins the intricacy of her creations in a multitude of admirable literary ways. In this tragic and twisted love story, Brontë presents her characters in pairs, conveys a unique story–telling method, and utilizes internal character turmoil in order to build the distinct characterization of many characters. The complexity of the characters' beings leads way to a compelling love story that also serves as a great mystery. The characters in Wuthering Heights are as similar as they are different. In order to emphasize the characters' differences and similarities, Brontë presents her characters in pairs. This could either be through the use of a foil, the two part nature of couples, or the natural division of human nature. "The key figures, moreover – Cathy and Isabella, Heathcliff and Edgar, Linton and Hareton, and Nelly and Lockwood – are drawn in sharp contrast to one another" (Berlinger 186). Heathcliff and Edgar are most certainly foils. The first was picked up on the street by a wealthy man who brought Heathcliff home and raised him as his son. The second was raised from birth in a wealthy household. Heathcliff can be viewed as an obsessive and vengeful character. "Heathcliff, according to Isabella, is 'not a human being'" (Lodine–Chaffey 211). In stark contrast, Edgar is loving and compassionate and wishes nothing but the best for his beloved wife and sister.

  • 5. Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights Essay Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights In "Wuthering Heights," we see tragedies follow one by one, most of which are focused around Heathcliff, the antihero of the novel. After the troubled childhood Heathcliff goes through, he becomes embittered towards the world and loses interest in everything but Catherine Earnshaw –his childhood sweetheart whom he had instantly fallen in love with.–and revenge upon anyone who had tried to keep them apart. The novel begins with a few short introduction chapters which Bronte had most likely used to illustrate how incompetent the character of Lockwood was, and to foreshadow what was to come in later chapters. After these, it begins to immediately demonstrate to the reader the plight of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As Heathcliff aged, his love for Catherine–first shown on the night of Mr. Earnshaws death when only the two of them can comfort each other–blossomed and bloomed not into the rose which would have been expected from such a strong, passionate love, but into the twisted thorn bush of Heathcliff's dark revenge. After Mr. Earnshaws death Catherine's elder brother, Hindley, became the new proprietor of Wuthering Heights. Under Hindley's guiding hand, Heathcliff was sent out into the fields with the servants and was no longer aloud to be educated along with Catherine. This was the first time that the two of them were separated, and it later led to Heathcliff's wreaking his revenge upon Hindley by first driving him to drink, taking his land with gambling debts, and corrupting his son Hareton in the same way that Hindley had done to Heathcliff, but to an exaggerated degree. The next "victim" of Heathcliff's revenge was Edgar Linton.

Let us hope that history does not repeat itself with the era of the Tudors. King Henry the VIII ruled according to his own wants and desires. He would favor people with great gifts or on a whim take their life. His rule was a time of tip toeing and avoiding displeasing him or The Church. Unfortunately, in order to learn from history, its stories and facts must retold truthfully and accurately. If our only retelling of the story of Mary and Anne Boleyn comes from The Other Boleyn Girl, I am afraid history will repeat itself.

Despite not having the same authority as his contemporary European monarchs, Henry was the recipient of two very important prerequisites for a successful reign. The first was a full treasury and the second was a peaceful transfer of power, which had been anything but certain in England since the War of the Roses. At first he was content to enjoy the fruits of his father's labor, but ultimately he sought glory in his own name. Henry plunged into needless conflict in Europe, eliminated anyone who opposed him, and became so obsessed with securing a male heir that he engineered a split with the Catholic Church. It was ...

Henry VIII's desire for military glory was possibly only surpassed by his infatuation with producing a male heir. Although she had been a model queen in many respects, Catherine had not produced a male heir and this was of the utmost importance to Henry. To him, it was unthinkable that the throne could fall peacefully to a girl. He eventually looked to another woman to satisfy this desire, but first he needed to get rid of Catherine. The only way for Henry to receive an annulment was to secure a papal dispensation. In order to achieve this Henry citied a passage in Leviticus that stated, "If a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an impurity: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless." He was seemingly convinced that since he had married his deceased brother's wife he was to remain without an heir. This passage also presented quite a contradiction however because Henry and Catherine were not without a child, but had just not had a son. This was either lost completely upon Henry or simply ignored. Either way he was asking the Pope to go back on his initial ruling. He had previously decided that since Catherine had not consummated the marriage with Henry's brother, it was okay in the eyes of God that they be married.

Wuthering, meaning a fierce wind, pertains to the wind stirring the souls of the two characters, Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and brings their emotions to extreme heights, which results in extreme behaviour and acting without thinking about the possible consequences. The main theme of this gothic romance novel is passion. The strong emotions such as love, hate, and desire that Catherine and Heathcliff feel for each other and the people around them controls their actions and makes their behaviour excessive, driving the story forward and generating action in the novel. The character depicted as most passionate is Heathcliff. His passion is dark and vengeful. Adopted into the Earnshaw family as a child, he grew up with Catherine. As they played together on the moors, unrestrained by responsibility and completely free, they developed feelings for each other. Heathcliff feels betrayed when Catherine decides to marry Edgar Linton instead of him. He had overheard Catherine's conversation with Nelly, in which she'd said: "...did it never strike you that if Heathcliff and I married, we should be beggars?" (pg 97) Heathcliff's feelings for Catherine is more than just love.

However Henry VIII was quite the opposite and he was emotional and took decisions straight away without analyzing them unlike his father.

The people despised taxes and especially hated the two main taxmen, Richard Empson and Edmund Dudley. So Henry VIII tried to gain the popularity and the support of the people by executing Richard Empson and Edmund Dudley. This definitely gave him the short–term popularity he was after, but without tax, this would affect his finances. Henry VIII's decision to continue the Hundred Years War cost the government a lot. Around £1.7 million was spent on preparing England and its allies for war. His aim was to seize the French Crown, and make England and himself greater, by means of war. His policy on finance was not like his fathers, he didn't realise what problems he would face after stopping tax. His ally in the war was his Father–in–law, Ferdinand Aragon and it was decided that Spain and England would go to war against France in 1512. But Henry VIII's ideas of conquering France did not succeed. Firstly because the Spanish did not turn up to fight, due to the Pyrenees mountains, on the border of Spain and France.

In the beginning, Lockwood describes Wuthering Heights. "Wuthering Heights is the name of Mr. Heathcliff's dwelling. 'Wuthering' being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather. Pure, bracing ventilation they must have up there at all times, indeed: one may guess the power of the north wind blowing over the edge, by the excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the house; and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun. Happily, the architect had foresight to build it strong: the narrow windows are deeply set in the wall, and the corners defended with large jutting stones." This house is strong, because the people in it are not. Almost everyone that lives in the house goes crazy and dies. It is more of a prison than a home. Section II: Author The author is Emily Bronte. She grew up in a town that reminded her of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. Her childhood affected the way she wrote her stories. Many themes of her work involve the supernatural. She wrote this classic novel in 1845. Section III: Setting The time is 1801 and what happens years before then. It takes place at Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange.

In the first 33 chapters, the text clearly establishes Heathcliff as an untamed, volatile, wild man and establishes his great love of Catherine and her usage of him as the source of his ill humor and resentment towards many other characters.

To–day I am within sight of my heaven –– I have my eyes on it –– hardly three feet to sever me (278)!" His statement is ambiguous––it does little to explain his sudden change of humor and little to satisfy Nelly's curiosity and wonder at his state. Joy in most characters in Wuthering Heights is an uplifting state associated with happiness and delighted exhilaration. However in Heathcliff, as Nelly observes, it is a horrible, frightening thing. In Heathcliff, the mood arouses wariness and fear in others and indicates some inner change so dramatic that its cause is almost unthinkable. Heathcliff offers no coherent explanation for his sudden change of state and the text offers no concrete solution as to what could have caused his dark exhilaration.

  • 14. Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte Wuthering Heights is a perfect example of how both denying and fulfilling a desire can lead to danger. Desire is a fascinating concept because it encompasses a multitude of things in life. You can desire someone in the sense of loving them or wanting to be with them. You can also desire to do good in the world or have a desire for a specific job. It is by no means a simple subject to talk about, especially accompanied by danger, an equally complex idea. The idea of danger can be physically, mentally, and emotionally straining as well as societal. For example, being in danger of being harmed, being in danger of becoming depressed, or, you could even be in danger of losing your status in society. The idea of losing you status or your family name was an enormous concern during the later 1700s and early 1800s which is when this book takes place. The characters in Wuthering Heights give numerous examples of how indulging or not indulging in desire can have equally toxic outcomes. In Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte uses the character relationships to demonstrate how desire, fulfilled or not, is dangerous by showing the consequences of desire. Throughout literature and history, desire has been considered dangerous due to the actions people have typically taken when pursuing a desire. Emily Bronte does a brilliant job of displaying how desire, chased after or not, can lead to dangerous outcomes. There is a section within the novel that represents this idea of turning down your ...

  • 15. Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte Primogeniture in 18th and 19th century England stemmed from the patriarchal structure within society and families. Married women did not have status outside that of their husbands. Husbands had legal and domestic agency over their wives and their household. Women were expected to submit to their husband's wishes, and could not vote, own or control property. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë examines these elements of 18th and 19th century English society with examples of relationships in which women were treated as the property of men, and how as a result, women were denied the legal status to own and have agency over property. Edgar and Heathcliff were both patriarchal characters. Both men attempted to physically and emotionally control their wives by confining them to their homes, and restricting the expression of their emotions. While they stripped Catherine and Isabella of their identities in differing ways, the end result ended up very much the same. Catherine was unhappy during the first several months of her marriage to Edgar. Nelly compared Catherine to a thorn, before telling Lockwood that "I observed that Mr. Edgar had a deep– rooted fear of ruffling her humour" (Brontë 95). Such a fear of upsetting someone would not be necessary if they were happy. She went on to say that Catherine had experienced periods of "gloom and silence", which Edgar attributed to her pregnancy (Brontë 96).

Foreign military intervention itself wasn't so much a problem for Henry: there were no large–scale invasions of England during his reign and for the most part he managed to avoid war altogether.

The Everlasting Child : Wuthering Heights The Everlasting Child Wuthering Heights's Catherine Earnshaw is infamous for her complex character, some arguing that she is manipulative, others sympathizing with the difficult choices she is faced with. However, there is no doubt that she is innately childish. As Catherine grows older, her character is not changed; she remains juvenile and selfish, making everything a game that revolves around her. In a sense, her mindset never progresses past one of a child. As Sigmund Freud wrote in The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, "What makes an infant characteristically different from every other stage of human life is that the child is polymorphously perverse". Children are dominated by what Freud labelled as the "ID", or the unconscious instinctual selfish urges one experiences. Ultimately, children are egocentric, expect to gain what they want, and do not understand complexity in others' feelings – all characteristics Catherine exemplifies. Her selfishness goes beyond the "ordinary self–centeredness" (Thormahlen 5) one might encounter in a regular adult – rather, Catherine directly affects her relationships with people through her "perverse" actions, and still does not recognize the harm in doing so. She exists in an irresponsible state, not perceiving that "she cannot have, and be, everything she wants whenever she wants it" (5) – and this is reflected in every single relationship she experiences.

The story goes that King Henry struggles with his conscience when it becomes clear that his wife Catherine will not give him a male heir. He meets Anne and falls in love, and as a consequence breaks with Rome and the Holy Roman Catholic Church to marry her. When she too fails to produce the elusive son he desires he has her executed. The second wife of Henry VIII, Anne's is a biography that many know, and yet this juxtaposes with the reality that her story is often oversimplified by the salacious details of her life. In the context of the early English reformation, Anne was a player to the colossal events of this period and for this, her role in them deserves to be more closely examined. Anne is a fundamental part of the reformation to the extent that she allowed the door on it to be cracked open through key events such as the divorce from Catherine of Aragon, the 'King's Great Matter', the Break with Rome, and the Royal Supremacy to take place. The idea of divorcing his first wife was not a relatively new one for King Henry. He had been married to Catherine of Aragon for almost two decades by the late 1520s.

St. Thomas More was one of the most gifted men of his day; he was a devout Catholic, brilliant scholar, writer, lawyer, accomplished musician, and loving father. In addition to his many talents, his popular image is one of a man, principled, steadfast, courageous, who placed his own conscience above his king's demands. It was in London that Thomas More was born on 7 February 1477, the only surviving son of John More and his first wife, Agnes Graunger. John More was a successful lawyer who was later knighted and made a judge of the King's Bench; he was prosperous enough to send his son to London's best school. He was well–connected and later secured his son's appointment as a household page to John Morton, the archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Chancellor of England.

The authors use weather to create tones for the scenes. For example, storms can create a sense of anger or confusion, whereas sunlight may generate a sense of happiness. Both novels are set in a cold, dreary time, adding to the theme of isolation throughout each. In Frankenstein, the reader is first ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The theme of revenge plays a big role in both novels. In Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff seeks revenge because of other's actions against him. However, in Frankenstein, the monster seeks revenge because of the way he looks and how others perceive him. While the characters in both novels seek revenge for different reasons, they have one thing in common. Their need for revenge ultimately stems from not being able to have what they want, leaving them alone and isolated. Revenge is one of the most prominent themes in Wuthering Heights. At times throughout the novel, it seems to overpower the theme of love. Heathcliff's desire for revenge arises from Catherine's betrayal. He has been in love with her for a long time, and she loves him. However, she betrays him and marries Edgar for his money. This action leaves Heathcliff alone and isolated, only to long for her love again. "I seek no revenge on you, that 's not the plan. The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don 't turn against him; they crush those beneath them" (Bronte, p. 103). This quote shows that Heathcliff is not trying to get revenge on Catherine. Although she turned against him, he cannot do the same to her. "I 'm trying to settle how I shall pay Hindley back. I don 't care how long I wait, if I can only do it at last. I hope he will not die before I do!" (Bronte p. 54). When he cannot have the woman he loves, he turns his attention to revenging Hindley, his childhood ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Essay on Wuthering Heights Jordan smith EGL120 Essay Student ID: 1051867 Word Count: "Identify and discuss various representations of woman in Wuthering Heights" The depictions of women in Wuthering Heights reveal that despair and happiness are direct outcomes of one's decision to either be submissive to or oppose patriarchal constructs respectively. Catherine and Cathy II are portrayed as examples of both how giving power to patriarchal demands leads to misery and pain in contrast to how resisting patriarchal demands will lead to hope and joy. Firstly, the underlying theme of freedom illuminates how the women are influenced to make such critical decisions regarding their respective futures. Secondly, the concept of upbringing illustrates how childhood, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Catherine views freedom as something unsafe and untameable and following patriarchy as safe and more suitable despite it also constraining her natural ambitions (Garofalo, 2008: 831). Her choice reflects the idea that freedom is undesirable as it dangerously goes beyond social norms and putts her at odds with society (Hanlon, 1996: 506). Giving power to patriarchal demands results in negative outcomes for Catherine's character – continued conflict with other characters, depression, sickness, in the end, untimely death. Cathy II, who in her childhood had the idea of freedom kept away from her, constantly attempts to resist patriarchal constructs in order to achieve being free. Cathy II is represented as a tough, strong–willed female who opposes what others expect for her, in the way she often uses the word 'defy' (REFERENCE), the way she aims to 'draw pleasure from the grief of her enemies' (REFERENCE) and how she challenges Heathcliff to be physically violent towards her (REFERENCE). A feminist perspective of the novel notes how Cathy II empowers both herself and the female gender in the way she attempts to escape Wuthering Heights and make her own, independent decisions (Hoeveler, 2000: 212–214). Cathy II's view of freedom is that it's a treasure that should be earned, and because she's been denied it by ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

When Maxson's wife, Rose, attempted make him admit that the reason he was not playing in the major league was because he was too old, Maxson replied, "What do you mean too old?

  • 28. Moral Poison: Heathcliff as an Antihero In literature, a hero is fundamentally a paragon of moral strength while a villain is a challenger of virtue. As the protagonist of Charlotte Brontë's Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff fulfills the broadest definition of a literary hero but this only thinly veils his dark delight in causing torment that places him squarely in the realms of villainy. His only trace of humanity is revealed by the transcendent love he shares with Catherine. It is this value that evokes sympathy from the audience and mitigates his immorality, rendering him an antihero rather than a villain. Brontë's choice to portray Heathcliff so heinously allows vengeance to overwhelm love as the salient theme of the novel and therefore elucidates the darkest and most ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The way in which the novel is structured allows for more sympathy towards Heathcliff, as the reader experiences his hardships and isolation in childhood that become causes of his actions later on in the novel. The story begins with a portrait of Heathcliff as a cold, reserved host, establishing the personality he has as an adult before jumping back to his childhood. Because of the lack of background information, the reader automatically distances themself from Heathcliff. As the plot returns to the past and reveals the unwarranted terrorizing to which Hindley subjects Heathcliff, the reader begins to grasp the reason why he grows up into such a desensitized, unpleasant adult. With the experience of Heathcliff's difficult upbringing, the reader also better understands his need to exact revenge on Hindley, his love for Catherine (as it grew out of the isolation of his childhood), and the parallel between Hareton's childhood and his own. The progression of his character becomes apparent and the contempt for Heathcliff from the beginning of the novel is softened by the sympathy that comes from understanding the reasons behind his behavior.

Roman Polanski's Repulsion Essays Roman Polanski's Repulsion Analysis of an aspect of visual form in the film 'Repulsion' In the 1964/65 film 'Repulsion' by Roman Polanski, the story is about the conflict between reality and fantasy or sanity and insanity inside the main character's mind – Carol played by Catherine Deneuve. Therefore the narrative technique of symbolism is used to display visually to the film's audience what happens to Carol's mind. In this particular instance, the degeneration of Carol's state of mind is symbolised. Carol's state of mind degenerates, or breaks down because of her repulsion of masculinity in a sexual context. Through Carol's eyes, we see masculinity as being aggressive, obsessive, crude/sexually suggestive, rapacious and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Obviously the camera then pans to see this – but it can hold onto the shot for longer than Carol looks at it, giving the audience a chance to understand why Carol might look at it. As her state of mind being like it is, what it symbolises only needs a casual look or glance at it from Carol. As a symbol itself, the empty 'hut' represents a pathway or tunnel to a 'dark' kind of life – one filled with despair, depression, anxiety, anger, fear, hate, and/or any other types of negative human qualities. Near the end of the film, this 'dark' image is shown again, just after Carol kills the landlord with the cut–throat razor. Her face is kept in shadow – an oval of near black – and is framed by her hair, which enhances this image further because it is blond. As I have implied before, Carol's understanding of life around her is distorted. She frequently sees cracks appearing in walls – which can be read as cracks in her mind. In one instance, Carol sees a crack in the pavement on her way to work. She becomes engrossed by it, and sits down on a bench by it to simply look at it. The shot of the crack taken over her right shoulder shows that the crack runs between her feet. It then splits into two cracks, making the entire crack look like a 'Y'. This suggests that it is used as a symbol to show two paths in life to take: the first being the good, realistic or sane path; the other being the bad, fantastic or insane path.

The most obvious example is when Catherine marries Edgar, even though she loves Heathcliff, so she can have a better social status. Another example is the when "young" Catherine is forced to work as a servant at Wuthering Heights after she marries Heathcliff's son Linton. " I lingered around them, under the benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth." (Bronte p. 406) This quote was beautifully written and leaves the reader on awe. Wuthering Heights is in the same ethical and moral tradition as the other great Victorian novels. Its criticism of society is as fierce as Charlotte Bronte's or Dickens'. Much of the same spirit interfuses the novels of Charlotte and Emily Bronte. For both writers, society and what passes for civilization are synonymous with selfishness. Both show family life as a sort of open warfare, a deadly struggle for money and power. Both see organized religion as ineffective or hypocritical or so cold and harsh as to be inhumane and deflected from true Christian ideals.

  • 32. Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte I have often noticed that the romanticized relationship of Catherine and Heathcliff is usually the center point of discussions and film adaptions of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. While their tempestuous relationship certainly has its attractions, their self–destructive love is disastrous. Consequently, Catherine and Heathcliff's dysfunctional relationship not only leads to their own demise but causes everyone else around them to suffer. However, I find that the often neglected relationship of Cathy and Hareton to be more romantic and compassionate. Although initially their relationship starts baldy, the two eventually develop a caring relationship built upon mutual trust and love. One theme that I noticed was prevalent throughout the book was the idea of the binary or doubles. There are two Catherines, two Heath cliffs and two Lintons. However, although many of the characters share similar names and circumstances, they do not always take after their namesake. This makes me wonder what caused Cathy and Hareton's relationship to succeed while their predecessor's relationship failed. Ultimately, Cathy and Hareton's deviation from Catherine and Heathcliff allows them to break the cycle of misery and abuse that is present throughout the story.

Source 4, an extract from Scarisbrick 'Henry VIII,' gives the impression that Henry gave all power to Wolsey, whilst he "hunted and jousted." Cavendish then states how the king had "surrendered the cares of the state into the Cardinal's hands." This gives the impression that Wolsey had the powers of the king and was in charge of running the country efficiently.

The author Lotherington describes how government was "dominated by...competing groups" but that overall the "source of all power was the king." Lotherington argues that as Wolsey lacked the "intimate daily contact" enjoyed by others within the court this meant Wolsey was not all powerful. Also, the king also looked to his Privy Council and Gentlemen's bedchamber for advice on issues, as well as Wolsey, which shows that Henry shared the power throughout the court. Saying this however, Wolsey had had more power than others (as seen in the Elthem Ordinances) where Wolsey halved the members of Henry's gentlemen of the Bedchambers from twelve to six, and moved key advisors overseas. This suggests that although the power was shared, Wolsey could still decide who the king received advice from, which indirectly could be interpreted as Wolsey in total control. Also, although source 5 describes the power of the factions Lotherington also states how Wolsey "controlled the distribution of patronage" which was essential to gain power and status. This gives the impression that Wolsey had overall control of government, and could either air or hinder the careers of the "ambitious men." Saying this however, once the amicable grant failed in 1525 Henry lost faith in Wolsey. This allowed the competing factions, many of whom opposed Wolsey due to his power, to undermine his authority which eventually led to his disapproval and eventually arrest for treason. This ...

Because the Brontë sisters lived a strongly patriarchal society where the ideal Victorian woman only dealt with domestic matters and left everything else to men, they wrote their novels and poems under the male pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell.

Educated Catherine realizes that in order for her to successfully join society, she must marry well in order to have a good future for herself.

It was obvious that Catherine married Edgar so she could be the greatest woman of the neighbourhood and if she married Heathcliff it would degrade her and they would both end up as beggars .

Analysis Of The Novel ' Wuthering Heights ' Independent Reading Journal – Wuthering Heights Point of View – Wuthering Heights has two main narrators from whose point of view the novel is written. Lockwood is the primary narrator, and much is of what takes place in the present is told through his eyes, via first–person. The narration shifts to Ellen Dean, as she gives, to both Lockwood and the reader, her version of past events. She serves as the peripheral narrator, who is meant to tell the tale of what transpired before Lockwood's arrival to Wuthering Heights. Ellen's story is filtered and recorded through Lockwood's perspective. There are however certain instances where Nelly herself was not present and therefore relies on someone else's eyewitness report to convey what transpired. Syntax and Diction – Wuthering Heights presents a variety of different styles, ranging from Catherine's poetic speech, Heathcliff's verbal ferocity, Lockwood's greater literary discourse, Nelly's lecturing rhetoric, and Joseph's unintelligible muttering. Brontë is very much direct in her method of introducing movement in the novel. Each sentence leads the reader directly to the thought attempting to be conveyed.

His pride is what holds him together and he does not allow himself to be pushed around by anyone except Heathcliff. Above all, Hareton is the only person, with the exception of Catherine, who loves Heathcliff, though it might be more due to a force of habit. Hareton is introduced into the novel in the second chapter where he is described as a gruff man. But his rough, yet friendly nature can be seen clearly from the fact that he is the only man in the household who holds enough goodwill to let Lockwood into the house and bide him to sit down. Also when Lockwood expresses his desire to go back to Thrushcross Grange despite the storm, Hareton offers to accompany him up to the park, though he was adequately rebuked. Hareton never knew the love of a mother and only had enough good fortune to have Nelly as a nurse for a very short time. The combination of this and fact that Hindley, after Frances's death became a wild, drunken and lost man, made Hareton a quiet child.

And later, when Cathy pushes Linton and then apologizes, she furiously says, "Don't let me go home thinking I've done you harm!"Through these moments, this directly echoes's each other. Cathy is basically repeating the life of Catherine. Both the scenarios and characterization give away to the interpretation that Catherine and Cathy are indeed doubles of one another. Upon reading the novel it seems like Hareton is also a mirror of Heathcliff, however, as the novel proceeds, Hareton turns out to be rather different from Heathcliff.
