Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 7 page essay/research paper that explores critical opinion and Bronte's classic novel. Popular interpretation of the novel has traditionally seen this bond as making Catherine and Heathcliff the "greatest lovers in the history of the novel" and their intense bond as a "manifestation of perfect love" (Tyler 167). However, other critics have argued with this interpretation and place an altogether different slant on what ties these two characters. This examination of literature and Bronte's novel finds that these critics present the more persuasive argument and the unbreakable bond between Catherine and Heathcliff appears to be based more on psychological codependency than on romantic passion. In fact, Bronte, by contrasting this relationship with others in the novel, that is, Catherine's relationship with Edgar Linton, seems to suggest that there are bonds that are far deeper than those between husband and wife.

in the novel, that is, Catherines relationship with Edgar Linton, seems to suggest that there are bonds that are far deeper than those between husband and wife. Bronte lays
the groundwork for her psychological exploration of obsession by, first of all, creating two distinctly different worlds. Early in the novel, the Earnshaw estate, "Wuthering Heights" is associated with stormy
weather and, subsequently, the relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine is associated with "stormy" emotional turmoil. This is contrasted against the calm of the Linton family at Thrushcross Grange. The two
houses are representative of two "different modes of human experience--the rough the genteel" (Caesar 149). The environments for children between these settings are starkly different. At Wuthering Heights, childhood is
an "experience of neglect, abuse and rejection" (Levy 159). The Linton family environment is the opposite, but also not conducive to the best mental health in children as they are
over-protected and treated as "petted things" (Levy 159). In this family, the implies message to children is that they are too weak to survive on their own. The consequence in
