Abstract

Emily Brontë published Wuthering Heights in 1847, a fictional story based on a social reality. The reader will witness Heathcliff's triumph and decline in a class society. After three years of absence, Heathcliff will begin his vendetta and will manage to appropriate the two houses of the families. After his death, the social conflict disappears and peace is reestablished in the second generation.
