Under the pen name Ellis Bell, Emily Bronte published her book “Wuthering Heights” in 1847. It is regarded as a masterpiece of English literature and a staple of Gothic literature. The story of Heathcliff, a menacing and brooding character, and his passionate and destructive love for Catherine Earnshaw is told in the book.
The Earnshaws and the Lintons, two nearby families, are the focus of the story, which is set in the moorlands of Yorkshire, England. The proprietor of Wuthering Heights, Mr. Earnshaw, takes up Heathcliff, a little boy he discovers abandoned in Liverpool, adopts him, and brings him to his house where he lives with Catherine and Hindley, two of his own kids. Through the course of the book, Catherine and Heathcliff form a close bond and have a turbulent and passionate relationship.
However, their relationship is hampered when Catherine chooses to wed Edgar Linton, a well-to-do neighbor. Heathcliff is profoundly affected by the marriage, and his desire for vengeance against those who have mistreated him, particularly the Linton family, consumes him. The devastating consequences of Heathcliff’s infatuation have an impact on everyone involved and span generations.
The novel “Wuthering Heights” looks into issues of love, betrayal, retaliation, social class, and the destructive potential of unfulfilled passion. The dark and complicated characters in Emily Bront’s haunting and atmospheric novel, paired with her vivid and poetic writing style, continue to captivate readers today.
The novel’s ongoing appeal has been influenced by its non-linear structure, various narrators, and intricate connections. Its standing as a literary masterpiece and the fact that it will live on in popular culture are both enhanced by the numerous stage plays, movies, and television shows that have been made from it.
Here are the Wuthering Heights lyrics ;
Out on the wily, windy moors
We’d roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you, tooBad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering HeightsHeathcliff, it’s me, I’m Cathy
I’ve come home, I’m so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it’s me, I’m Cathy
I’ve come home, I’m so cold
Let me in your windowOoh, it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I’m coming back love
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream
My only masterToo long I roam in the night
I’m coming back to his side, to put it right
I’m coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering HeightsHeathcliff, it’s me, I’m Cathy
I’ve come home, I’m so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it’s me, I’m Cathy
I’ve come home, I’m so cold
Let me in your windowOoh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
You know it’s me, CathyHeathcliff, it’s me, I’m Cathy
I’ve come home, I’m so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it’s me, I’m Cathy
I’ve come home, I’m so cold
Let me in your windowHeathcliff, it’s me, I’m Cathy
I’ve come home, I’m so cold
