A Pitiable Devil,a Satanic Hero——On Heathcliff's Character in Wuthering Heights

Emily Bronte is one of the most famous and outstanding novelists in English literature. In her only novel Wuthering Heights, Emily successfully depicts a very complex character – Heathcliff,who is the central figure of the whole story. He is regarded as a devil for his brutal behaviors of revenge. However, his ruthlessness on the surface cannot completely reflect the feeling of his interior world. As a matter of fact, he is only a solitary and pitiable man who lives a miserable life since he is born. Although he acts entirely like a devil in pursuing revenge, he still can be called a hero because of the good qualities hidden in the depth of his soul. Heathcliff is such a unique character in Wuthering Heights that it is always difficult for readers to comprehend his inner conflict and make an appropriate judgment for him. This thesis offers a detailed analysis of Heathcliff's special character and gives a new interpretation for the complexity and profundity of human nature.
