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 Wuthering Heights contrasts the effects of love and hate contrasting the two feelings. Hate can‘t make the love disappear， Love is stronger than hate.
This Forty years ago Wuthering Heights was filled with light， warmth and happiness. Mr.Earnshaw ， a congenial gentleman farmer， lives happily with his boisterous children Catherine and Hindley. However， being a kind and generous fellow， he can‘t help rescuing a poor starving wretch off of the streets of Liverpool， a gypsy child named Heathcliff In time Heathcliff becomes one of the family， loved by all except Hindley （who nurtures the feeling of being usurped）。
Catherine is an especially good childhood friend， spending many a carefree day playing on the moor with Heathcliff. Unfortunately when Mr.Earnshaw dies suddenly， Hindley is able to express his enmity with damning cruelty. Heathcliff is condemned to the stable， a position doubly harsh given his former familial state.
As the years pass a single reason keeps， the now adult， Heathcliff from leaving and seeking his fortune-Catherine. Despite all that oppresses them （Hindley‘s rages and their positions）， there is a love between them that refuses to die. Cathy has wild， gypsy blood in her and that side of her personality loves to run through the heather with her prince， Heathcliff. Here they can be children again， far from the misery which courses through Wuthering Heights. However， the more civilized half of Cathy desires fine dresses and a respectable station in society， all things which Edgar Linton can provide. Such a collision of love and desire is ripe territory for the seeds of tragedy.
An epic tale of wild， romantic passion， set amongst the heather and wind-swept gulleys， Wuthering Heights is stirring stuff. Presenting a vision of undying love， its genesis in the innocence of youth and resolution in the chill of death， the entire spectrum of emotions is played expertly by Bronte.
Such a tale calls for a top-notch cast， players who can emote the sheer stubbornness which makes Catherine and Heathcliff destroy each other while remaining deeply in love. So staggering is Heathcliff‘s pain that he’s willing to use Catherine‘s sister-in-law Isabella Linton as a weapon， caring nothing for the poor lass. It’s a measure of Catherine‘s stoicism that she refuses to budge even under these conditions， pretending
That she actually loves Edgar.
Love and hate is the theme of the novel. Wuthering Heights is dominated by hatred， at the last three chapters， when Catherine lying on bed and was going to die， they grab together and forgive each other. Especially after Catherine‘death， love come back， humanity wake up.
Chapter 3 Conclusion In Wuthering Heights， Emily Bronte shows us the tense conflict of love and hatred， at same time， she indicates the change and integration of the love and hate. Love and hate， the two extreme feelings of the man， make Wuthering Heights mysterious. It‘s hard for the reader to understand. But it’s the soul of Wuthering Heights.
