　　Chapter  1   Introduction

　　Wuthering Heights, the great novel by Emily Bronte, though not inordinately long is an amalgamation of childhood fantasies, friendship, romance and revenge. But this story is not a simple story of revenge; it has more profound implications. As Arnold Kettle, the English critic, said, "Wuthering Heights is an expression in the imaginative terms of art of the stresses and tensions and conflicts, personal and spiritual, of nineteenth-century capitalist society." (1)The characters of Wuthering Heights embody the extreme love and extreme hate of the humanity. That extreme love and extreme hate mix together make the novel take on the thick dramatic color. Love and hate is one of the conflicts in Wuthering Heights. Hate can't make the love disappear, Love is stronger than hate. This is the theme of the novel.

　　Chapter  2   Body
