Similarities Between A Thousand Splendid Suns And Wuthering Heights

THE FATALITY OF LOVE IS AN INNEVITABLE FACET TO HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS Trauma and tragedy are inevitably regular and pervasive outcomes in romantic literature. Our literary heritage is filled with heartbreak, failed relationships and broken individuals. Wuthering Heights and Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns both exhibit broken relationships, through a backdrop of conflict in swar torn Afghanistan and the restrictions of Victorian social hierarchy played out on the wild and windswept North York Moors- destroying these implied impervious bonds. 1. LACK OF CONTROL OVER MARRIAGES In both novels we experience a high sense of the women lacking in control, one significant being the lack of control over their marriages. The culture of set societal rules and conventions urges Catherine to be with Edgar, compelling her to be ‘the greatest woman of the neighbourhood’ due to them being relatively firm in their gentry’s status. This suggests the importance of her social status against the nature of her love for Heathcliff stating, ‘we would be beggars’, through employing the word ‘beggars’ the reader crafts the idea of her belief that she won’t survive without her status. Catherine admits ‘It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him’ Thus implying a swelling sense of her vanity and pride; enough to enjoy the position she gains from being married to Edgar despite her admiration for Heathcliff, being ‘more than (herself) than (she is)’and

Heathcliff - A Character Defined By His Past, in Wuthering Heights

However Catherine lured Heathcliff into a relationship, brain washed him into thinking that she truely loved him and was going to marry him one fine day. Instead she discarded their relationship and decided to marry Edgar Linton, a wealthy man. Catherine discarded her relationship with Heathcliff, for one main reason and that was because he was not a wealthy man. It was obvious that Catherine married Edgar so she could be the greatest woman of the neighbourhood and if she married Heathcliff it would degrade her and they would both end up as beggars . This a good example of how Heathcliff was a victim of class hatred.

Themes of Love and Obsession in Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights

  • 1 Works Cited

As a consequence of Heathcliff's visit to the Grange, Edgar's sister Isabella falls in love with him, and her feelings seem to be sincere. In this one-sided love affair Heathcliff takes advantage of the innocent girl's infatuation to foster his obsession for revenge. (Isabella is her brother's heir). Catherine's reaction is very hard to interpret. It is natural that she is jealous, if she still feels the same for him as before, and that may be the reason why she dissuades Isabella from marrying Heathcliff. But the words she uses, telling her what an abominable creature Heathcliff is, are not the sort you expect to hear from someone talking of a sweetheart. Later on when her husband and Heathcliff are having a quarrel, she stops Edgar from hurting her friend . There is an excess of emotion, and her explanation to this behaviour is that she wants them both, Edgar and Heathcliff: "Well, if I cannot keep Heathcliff for my friend - if Edgar will be mean and jealous, I'll try to break their hearts by breaking my own" (109).Her love for Heathcliff has not cooled down, instead it seems to be a stronger obsession than ever considering the torments she goes through, when she becomes seriously ill.The last time Catherine and Heathcliff see each other is a very heart-rending meeting. Their love for each other is as strong as ever, and Heathcliff

Catherine's Crisis Quotes

Catherine’s crisis starts with her decision to marry Edgar Linton. “Yes, and it worries me, and I must let it out! I want to know what I should do. To-day, Edgar Linton has asked me to marry him, and I've given him an answer. Now, before I tell you whether it was a consent or denial, you tell me which it ought to have been.”(77) Catherine starts to worry about the decisions she made because she realized she loves Edgar but not nearly as much as she loves Heathcliff. Cathy went on to admit this saying “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton’s is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.” (80) She knows she shouldn't marry Linton because she loves Heathcliff more than anyone else, but she does

Comparison Of Wuthering Heights And A Thousand Splendid Suns

In both novels the experience of growing up is explored through the use of narratives that span across lifetimes. In ‘Wuthering Heights’ Emily Bronte introduces the characters of Heathcliff and Catherine as children in an 18th century English household. In ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’, Khaled Hosseini also introduces both Mariam and Laila from young ages. The purpose of this style of writing allows he reader to provide justification for the events that happen to each character, and support the understanding that the childhoods of each characters determine them as they mature. The experience of growing up is also heavily influenced by contextual factors, and without them the characters would have had very different ordeals.

Wuthering Heights And Macbeth Comparison

In Bronte's Wuthering Heights Catherine gets control over her relationship with leading Heathcliff on in the beginning, he does whatever she may desire. Heathcliff begins to fall in love with Catherine and she as well, Catherine leads Heathcliff on though. Catherine does not think Heathcliff will ever be enough and meet her needs. Her selfish needs. Catherine also has control over Edger, Catherine does love Edger but she loves Heathcliff more. Edger just has the money and makes her “look good” which is what she wants. Well It is what Catherine thinks she “wants” in life.

Selfishness in "Wuthering Heights"

Catherine Earnshaw appears to be a woman who is free spirited. However, Catherine is also quite self-centered. She clearly states that her love for Edgar Linton does not match how much she loves Heathcliff. She is saying that she does love both, and she is unwilling to give one up for the other; she wants “Heathcliff for her friend”. Catherine admits that her love for Linton is “like the foliage in the woods”; however, her love for

Heathcliff And Edgar Essay

In the start of Catherine’s marriage to Edgar, Catherine attempts to assert her demanding personality on the soft-spoken Edgar. However, Edgar was untouched by this. During a heated confrontation between Heathcliff and Edgar, Catherine attempts to goad Edgar into being more savage just as Heathcliff. She taunts him into fighting Heathcliff “If you have not courage to attack him, make an apology, or allow yourself to be beaten” (Bronte 119). After this episode, Catherine ends up locking herself in her room for three days with the hope that Edgar would be wild and passionate, again, like Heathcliff, and Edgar remains resilient and shows his control by retreating to his study and paying her no heed. Catherine’s love for Heathcliff and Edgar’s

Catherine's Confinement

During the mid to late eighteenth century, gender roles had a large influence on everyday life in Northern England. As a result, confinement, both physical and psychological, was a tool used to exert power over others. This is seen in both Catherine and Heathcliff’s multiple confinements of others and themselves throughout the novel. Jamie S. Crouse describes Catherine’s confinements as more detrimental to herself whereas Heathcliff’s are more masculine and destructive to others as he seeks to establish control over anyone who stands in his way. Their methods are intriguing as their motives and actions display the effect of gender roles and isolation as they grow up. During their youth, Catherine and Heathcliff were both children who went out

Essay on The Suffering of the Women in Wuthering Heights

Furthermore, when Heathcliff returns, Catherine should take no interest in trying to rekindle her feelings for him as Edgar had been putting in effort to make their marriage work 'Mr. Edgar had a deep-rooted fear of ruffling her humour' Up until this scene the couples were getting along and if Catherine had concealed her zealous behaviour towards Heathcliff then the calm atmosphere would have remained. Catherine rudely ignores her husband's presence to the extent that he demands the disrespectful behaviour to be stopped and a decision made 'Will you give up Heathcliff hereafter, or will you giver up me? It is impossible for you to be my friend and his at the same time…' Indeed, Edgar is right to put Catherine's in this difficult situation because any other typical husband at the time would have been less patient with Catherine or banned Heathcliff from the house at an earlier stage. Catherine struggles because the two men in her life represent two types if world and she cannot have both at the same time.

The Power of Love in Wuthering Heights Essay

  • 4 Works Cited

Heathcliff resents her scorn. He desires to regain her approval. He attempts to be “decent” and “good” for her sake (Brontë 40). However, his attempt to be decent fails miserably. He resents the attentions that Catherine gives to Edgar. Catherine would rather wear a “silly frock” and have dinner with “silly friends” than ramble about the moors with him (Brontë 50). Heathcliff keeps track of the evenings Catherine spends with Edgar and those that she spends with him. He desperately wants to be with Catherine. When Catherine announces to Nelly her engagement to Edgar, Heathcliff eavesdrops, but leaves the room when he “heard Catherine say it would degrade her to marry him” (Brontë 59). Catherine has spurned his love, choosing Edgar over him. Heathcliff cannot bear this rejection. The love he possesses for her transcends romantic and filial love (Mitchell 124). He feels that he is one with her (Mitchell 123).

Comparison Of Wuthering Heights And The Turn Of The Screw

The novel, The Turn of the Screw, by Henry James, is a novel about a ghost story that involves two children and a Governess who believes she is the heroine and tries to save the children she looks after. The novel, Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte, is about the life of a character named Heathcliff and his journey that follows since he was brought to the Earnshaw home, by Mr. Earnshaw, his adoptive father; what follows is his struggles as he matures into a man and how he falls in love and becomes obsessed with Catherine. Gothic elements are found throughout both books. The definition of gothic elements is the “style of writing that can be characterized by elements of fear, horror, death, gloom, as well as a romantic nature” (Greaver). The

Theme Of Love In Wuthering Heights

Catherine’s love for Heathcliff is deeply passionate, but ultimately all-consuming and destructive. Even as a child, Catherine is “much too fond of Heathcliff” (42). As she grows older, her affections for Heathcliff deepen and she eventually comes to believe her “great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff’s miseries” and that “he is more [her]self than” she is (80-81). Catherine’s ability to empathize with Heathcliff’s “miseries” reveals her deep emotional connection to him, as the events of the rest of the novel do not portray her as an especially empathetic character. Additionally, rather than saying Heathcliff is her “other half,” a more traditional statement, Catherine claims Heathcliff is more herself than she is, introducing the all-consuming nature of their love. After Catherine and Heathcliff are reunited following Heathcliff’s three year absence, Edgar and Heathcliff passionately argue; Catherine subsequently becomes violently ill. Her condition rapidly deteriorates and during her final moments with Heathcliff, Catherine proclaims he “[has] killed” her (157). Catherine herself acknowledges that her illness and impending death result from her love for

  • Catherine Earnshaw

Catherine Earnshaw’s true wild and passionate nature was nurtured by her childhood in the equally uncultivated moors. The state of her broken family only heightened this nature in her; only “tempered” when she stayed at Thrushcross Grange due to an injury. While “bleak” and “desolate” to an outsider like Lockwood, to the inhabitants of the Heights and the Grange, the moors were encouraging, especially to their temperamental natures. The moors were a catalyst that forever shaped Catherine’s life. She could never look out a window without ёremembering her free childhood wandering with her love, Heathcliff. Catherine developed traits of wildness, passion, and a desperate need for freedom as a result of this childhood. Even her “change” after

Similarities And Differences Between Wuthering Heights And Wuthering Heights

The confinement that characters within the texts experience can be translated into modern values based on equality. In the novel, Catherine Earnshaw is constantly controlled by the circumstances that control her; she’s ruled by her father and Hindley throughout her childhood, restricted by her injury at Thrushcross Grange, and forced to marry Edgar because of her isolation from the rest of the world. Even in her passionate relationship with Heathcliff, which reflects the spontaneous, exciting nature of the Romantic period, Heathcliff

wuthering heights and a thousand splendid suns comparison essay

Heathcliff and Mariam: A Character Comparison

What are the differences between A Thousand Splendid Suns and Wuthering Heights? This page explores the contrasts between Heathcliff and Mariam, two central characters from these novels. Heathcliff, an outsider with no surname, is influenced by Catherine and surrounded by an enigmatic aura. Mariam, on the other hand, is labeled a "harami" or illegitimate child, whose only sin is being born.

Highlight : Both characters struggle with identity issues, but their responses differ. Heathcliff takes pride in his uniqueness, while Mariam longs for love and acceptance.

The page also touches on the themes of love and identity in both novels. In Wuthering Heights, love is portrayed as a 19th-century concept of companionship, while in A Thousand Splendid Suns, it's more about survival and acceptance.

Vocabulary : Harami - An illegitimate child or a bastard in Afghan culture.
Quote : "Your name, Mariam, means 'the little flower.' Mariam jo. It was the name of the tuberose that Jalil's mother loved best."

This comparison provides insight into the characters' upbringing and their struggle for identity and love, setting the stage for a deeper comparative analysis of Heathcliff and Mariam's characters .

Mental Repression and Societal Oppression

This page delves deeper into the mental and societal oppression faced by the characters in both novels. Is reading Wuthering Heights tough? The complexity of Catherine's mental repression in Wuthering Heights is contrasted with the direct oppression faced by Mariam in A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Example : The burqa in A Thousand Splendid Suns symbolizes oppression, described as "tight and heavy like a skull."

The page explores how both characters deal with manipulation and loss of identity. Heathcliff's famous quote "I am Heathcliff" is juxtaposed with Mariam's silent suffering and eventual rebellion.

Quote : "If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be."

The narrative voice in both novels is also discussed. Wuthering Heights was published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, while A Thousand Splendid Suns offers a more direct narrative approach.

Highlight : The theme of sisterhood in A Thousand Splendid Suns opposes the angst-ridden relationships in Wuthering Heights.

This page provides a rich comparative analysis of Heathcliff and Mariam's characters , exploring how they navigate their respective oppressive environments.

wuthering heights and a thousand splendid suns comparison essay

Symbolism and Violence in Both Novels

The final page examines the use of symbolism and the portrayal of violence in both novels. Why should students read A Thousand Splendid Suns? The novel's powerful use of symbolism, such as water representing purity amidst destruction, offers a compelling reason.

Example : "Rockets began to rain on Kabul" - This metaphor in A Thousand Splendid Suns combines the imagery of rain (usually associated with life) with destruction.

The page contrasts the naturalistic instincts and transgression of human law in Wuthering Heights with the more explicit violence in A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Quote : "His sweat on the girl's skin" - This disturbing description of Mariam's rape highlights the brutal reality of her situation.

The comparison between the two novels continues with an examination of how violence is portrayed. Wuthering Heights presents violence as a transgression of human law driven by naturalistic instincts, while A Thousand Splendid Suns depicts violence as a tool of oppression and control.

This page concludes the comparative analysis of Heathcliff and Mariam's characters , demonstrating how both novels use symbolism and violence to explore themes of power, control, and human nature. The narrative voice in A Thousand Splendid Suns is shown to be more direct in its portrayal of violence, while Wuthering Heights uses more symbolic and psychological forms of aggression.

A Thousand Splendid Suns

Different voices in 'wuthering heights' and 'a thousand splendid suns' alysia jackson 11th grade.

In both ‘Wuthering Heights’ and ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ the writers use different narrative voices to portray their story. Within ‘Wuthering Heights’ Bronte uses Lockwood as the outer narrative and Nelly as the inner narrative to further present the plot, whilst in ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ Hosseini takes advantage of an alternating narrative between Mariam and Laila to give a wider and more direct view of the story. In both texts the narration contributes strongly to the true presentation of their respective times, for instance Bronte expresses the social justices and expectations in the Georgian period through ‘Wuthering Heights ‘ whilst Hosseini is able to tell the story of those oppressed women within Afghanistan through ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’.

By Bronte using both outer and inner narrative voices it reflects the readers own introduction to the story of the family affairs, mirroring Lockwood’s own experience. Thus by Lockwood’s first person diary format it enables the overall structure to be created and sets the character up as the main source of narration. Also, Bronte can be seen to use Lockwood specifically as he is portrayed to be a neutral figure to the story, with no distinct knowledge of the characters,...
