comparison
THE SCRUTINY- sexual dissimilar to WH; speaker saying he needs other people relates to cathy having to get with edgar; no monogamy; little love just respect dissimilar to WH
SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY- romanticism natural imagery; simply admires her compared to WH where he is all action, declarative tone, will do anything; lots of similes; novel focuses on darker side of love whereas poem focus on pure love; almost a platonic tone that could argue with WH, cathy and heathcliff growing up together as friends
THCM: poem ephemeral compared to WH eternal; poem uses syllogism (logical argument) compared to H's irrationality; opposing arguments 'make most before we die' compared to to WH where he wants to transcend death; both emphasise time
AT AN INN: going out of town so wouldn't caught similar to C+H's safe place being the moors away from judgement of society; never kissed when supposed to (C+H never have any intimate relationships despite H's kiss on deathbed); mentions of religion/ god; says he must see her before death
WHO SO LIST: women as possessions/ both of them as female but also how Heathcliff attempts to control Cathy beyond death not letting her rest; the chase, chasing cathy beyond
THE FLEA: sex v no sex; similar obsession; unions transcending death, contradicting religion. 'metaphysical'- beyond physical- represents whole of WH
SONNET 116: could represent Hindley and Frances and Edgar and Cathy: true/ traditional love; dissimilar in relation to C+H, I+H; love not changing despite time and lasting until the 'edge of Doome'; 'eternal rocks' and 'love alters not with brief hours and Weekes'
LA BELLE DAME SANS MERCI: femme fatal (Cathy?); cyclical structure; supernatural; lack of change. 'her eyes were wild'- 'i wish to be a young girl again- wild and free'. pain from love
GARDEN OF LOVE- romanticism, nature representing everything; personal loss, personal to H causes personal revenge arc however shared between multiple narrations (nelly, Lockwood, Isabella, Cathy's diaries)- is it personal?; constrictions of religion through institutions represents mocking of Joseph's dogma; chapel built over garden symbolises marriage separating people

AO5
TERRY EAGLETON- heathcliff's revenge not against people but against social structure. revenge against social hierarchy that rejected him as a child and separated him from catherine
wuthering heights as a parallel of a fantasy land taken from fairy/ folk tales. young Catherine imprisoned in TG- Rapunzel like? *
Heathcliff as an embodiment of life force in nature through his name and his unpredictable nature. Links to romanticism which views nature as a living force, explains everyone's immediate rejection of him beside cathy- feeling of sublimity, cathy is not belittled by heathcliff's presence
Heathcliff as female. rebels against social conventions of: class, marriage and inheritance. He intends to get property and power, also comparisons to Edgar who represents masculine culture and social standing
-
context (AO3)
-
Emily Bronte was a poet. wrote poems such as 'hope', 'love and friendship' where she compares these relationships to nature, 'love is like the wild rose brier'. explains poetic elements to her literature
-
-
first receptions of the novel saw it as 'strange' and 'uncivilised'. complaining about its moral ambiguity in relation to topics such as: necrophilia, incest, abusive relationships
moors
freedom, cathy and heathcliff can be liberated in the vast moors, breaking social conventions. allows cathy and heathcliff to escape societal barriers. 'i wish to be a young girl again- wild and free'
moorland cannot be tamed- cathy but more specifically heathcliff and his plot for revenge and lack of rationality
