The story of the tragic love of two wild hearts is one of the most popular and recognizable works of European literature of the 19th century.
'Wuthering Heights' has been adapted for the screen many times, and references to the plot can be found in many works about destructive passion. Love against the backdrop of gloomy heather moors led to the madness and death of the heroes of Emily Brontë's only novel. Rage, rebellion and attachment merged into a single whole in the lives of Heathcliff and Catherine. The feelings of the wild-mannered foundling for his stepsister submit neither to logic nor to morality; neither human strength, nor evil fate, nor even death has power over them.
The emotions that completely absorbed their possessor and broke more than one life frightened the person of the Victorian era, but the following generations of readers were simply spellbound. This novel can be loved and it can be hated. One thing is certain — it is extremely difficult to remain indifferent to it.
