A Pitiable Devil,a Satanic Hero---On Heathcliff＆#39;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＆#39;s special character and gives a new interpretation for the complexity and profundity of human nature.
