Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page essay/research paper on Emily Bronte's classic novel. The writer argues that despite a hundred plus years of study and criticism, this elusive narrative still defies close analysis, as there are so many details that simply do not "fit" in what most people take to be a tale of thwarted romance. For two people who supposedly love each other passionately, Catherine and Heathcliff treat each other abominably throughout their relationship. An examination of Bronte portrays it is a mental connection, rather than a physical attraction, that provides the passion of their relationship. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

a deeper reading leads to a "growing sense of wrongness" concerning this interpretation (Thormahlen 183). The adult reader asks "What truly infatuated teenage girl tells a confidante that marrying
