However, it is considered one of the three greatest tragedies in English literature and one of the ten greatest novels in the world.


A wild and demonic tale of passion and hatred set on the Yorkshire moors.
A stormy love that transcends reality
The fateful and ill-fated love between Heathcliff, an orphan who comes to live in Wuthering Heights, a mansion on a country hill, and Catherine Earnshaw, the daughter of the house, and the tragedy that love brings to the Earnshaws and Lintons, is set in 1939 by W.
It was also made into a film by director Wyler.
The love and hate that are so strong that they can destroy two families, and the horrifying madness of Heathcliff digging up Catherine's grave, who died from passion, seem to transcend the realm of humanity.
In fact, this work depicts a love that transcends reality and reaches the supernatural and eternal world, with the ghost of the dead Catherine even appearing.
This irrational and unthinkable love is, however, the purest and most beautiful passion.

The hatred and love that burns body and soul resembles the nature of Yorkshire.
As the adjective 'wuthering', which refers to a 'stormy appearance', suggests, the wild storms in this wilderness are relentless, and the trees and grasses - including the grass heath that evokes Heathcliff's name - all grow branches in one direction in the fierce north wind.
In this harsh and strong wind, the place cannot help but be pure and clean, and nothing artificial can be found.
This also symbolizes the love between two people.



A world of spirits where the natural and supernatural worlds merge
A powerful stroke that delves into the abyss of humanity
Wuthering Heights, miraculously born by a woman who lived a short and obscure life buried in a remote rural corner, focuses on individual existence, passion and will, and the ultimate truth of human existence, unlike other works that emerged from the idealistic atmosphere of the Victorian dynasty at the time, which were didactic and moral.
As a result, at the time, he was harshly criticized as “all the characters in this novel are ugly and gloomy,” but in modern times, we can see in Heathcliff a human being with strong and honest love and hate, not bound by the shackles of sophistication.
Heathcliff is instinctive and even savage, and Catherine is arrogant but passionately attracted to him.
Emily Brontë created a realistic human being, not an idealized one, and powerfully portrayed the abyss of human existence, where good and evil coexist, rather than judging it as good or evil.
This was a surprise in the literary world of fiction, and also a devoted suggestion.
