Wuthering Heights, the only novel written by Emily Brontë is a remarkable saga of love and revenge. Centred round the passionate character of Heathcliff, it deals with the families of the Lintrons and the Earnshaws. The setting is a microcosm of the universal scheme as Emily Brontë conceived it. On the one hand, we have Wuthering Heights, the land of storm, standing high on the barren moorland, naked to the shock of the elements, the natural home of Earnshaw family; fiery, untamed children of the storm, whereas, on the other, sheltered in the leafy valley below, standes Thrushcross Grange, the appropriate home of the children of calm, the gentle, passive Lintons. It is the destruction and re-establishment of the cosmic harmony which is the theme of the story.
