Articles and Movies that Influence Our Views
Classmates who read scholarly articles also noticed the different types of love shared by Catherine and Edgar v. Catherine and Heathcliff. This leads us to believe that Heathcliff and Catherine could be soul mates that may not belong together due to social reasons ect.
Another scholarly article read regards Healthcliff's cannibalistic nature. He is constantly tearing through characters in the novel. Example: knives and forks brought out but no food.
Will scholarly articles help to keep this type of literature alive?
Really intelligent people, looking/speaking down to others including their students. Dark sarcasm in the classroom: not working. Text curtain. Scholars tend to use words that cannot be interpreted by the average person/student. When long words are taken out are they really saying anything? Text curtains peel apart scholarly articles until they are comprehensible and the content within makes a difference in some way to the world.
Wuthering Heights: the 1992 movie version
The same character was used for Catherine as well as Catherine's daughter.
Turn to the scene where Catherine is on her death bed having her last conversation with Heathcliff. He blames her for choosing Linton over himself. He is angry at her and tells her she has killed herself. She claims that he left her as well.
Why would Emily Bronte want to darken romance? Maybe she wanted to represent a more realistic picture of love? Is it possible to love two people equally but differently? Would you choose your soul mate over the person you fit best with socially? Catherine cannot be blamed for loving two separate people differently.
