Wuthering Heights: Vengeance a
Emily Bronte, who never had the benefit of former schooling, wrote Wuthering Heights. Bronte has been declared as a “romantic rebel?because she ignored the repressive conventions of her day and made passion part of the novelistic tradition. Unlike stereotypical novels, Wuthering Heights contains no true heroes or villains. The narration of the story is very unique and divergent because there are multiple narrators. Bronte’s character Lockwood is used to narrate the introductory and concluding sections of the novel, whereas Nelly Dean narrates most of the storyline. It is interesting that Nelly Dean is used because of her biased opinions. Many major themes lie within the book, but the most imminent theme is revenge, the factor that leads the protagonists to their dismal fate. Bronte proves there is no peace in eternal vengeance. In the end, the self-injury involved in serving revenge’s purposes will be more damaging than the original wrong. Heathcliff never finds peace through his revenge. In fact, the only time he truly finds happiness is when he gives up his plan for retaliation. Austin O’Malley states: “Revenge is like biting a dog that bit you?SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> (O’malley 1). O’Ma
