    Wuthering Heights

    Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, her only published novel, was written during
    the Romantic period, which lasted approximately from 1789-1870. Literature of this
    period was concerned with the conflict between nature and society. Many writers of this
    period wrote pieces illustrating how society actually corrupts the natural goodness in
    humans.
    Heathcliff, one of the main characters of Wuthering Heights, is an example of this
    concept. He is a savage in the sense that he is untouched by social norms. Heathcliff
    also possesses traits of the Byronic hero. A Byronic hero is a type of Romantic hero
    with dark characteristics. He is brooding, ostracized from society in some way,
    intelligent, arrogant and hyper aware of himself. This type of hero grew from Lord
    Byron's work, which featured such characters.
