Yea that's right. Everything gets started here, in blogs and reflections. I don't know why I chose one of my favourite novel to be studied for my position paper, I just felt that I wanted more from Wuthering heights, by Bronte, but now I realized more means I could have done this piece of work for my research paper, though I won't be able to compare Wuthering Heights with another novel from Bronte as this is her sole literary work.
But then it striked me that one of the most important critics of her novel was her sister, Charlotte Bronte, who wrote Jane Eyre, The Professor and few other works. One of the major resemblance between Wuthering Heights and the book written by Charlotte, Jane Eyre, would be the Byronic heroes involved in both the novels; Heathcliff and Mr.Rochester. Both these men possessed the traits of a Byronic hero, as created from Lord Byron, and regarded not just as romantic, but blended as the perfect 'gothic romantic heroes'.
Analyzing the traits between Mr.Rochester and Heathcliff would make up a great research paper, as I could see beyond the frontiers of all the possibilities of how both these men crafted their dark lives and nourished the scene of the story with mystery and vengeance, as well as gave the novel a sense of thrill and gothicism. Some critics even said that Heathcliff and Mr.Rochester were the imps of satan represented in the form of human in the novel, but I don't agree with such atrocious stuff, I mean besides being totally off the line, one should actually dive into the lives of the Bronte sisters and have a glimpse of what they have been through. Growing up their entire life without a mother, and having their only brother and aunt being delivered too soon, they tend to seek refuge and salvation from not only poverty but the society as well.
This explains the character of Jane Eyre and also all the female characters in Wuthering Heights, whose mother died during childbirth, and the young Catherine Earnshaw who spends her life hanging around the moors with Heathcliff and going through torturous long sermons with Joseph and her unlikely brother Hindley. Jane Eyre who had to work as a governess in her early age and got attracted to Mr.Rochester, who she realized, hiding a secret.
But I chose to write a position paper on Wuthering Heights, though I felt it's ok but I still have this ill feeling telling me that, there's so much to write but you could only write 5 pages....hmmmm.
