1. IntroductioAs inspiration in her masterpiece, one of the great works of genius in English fiction, Emily drew equally on her own emotional, and introverted nature. On the basis of the wild and mysterious moorland around her, Emily produced the story about passionate Cathy and Cathys savage lover Heathcliff. Their love lasted through their lives and beyond their death. Whats more, the love between Cathy and Heathcliff was buried under the quiet churchyard on the moors. Wuthering Heights brought to the novel an introspection and an intense concentration on the inner life of emotion which before them had been the province of poetry alone.Wuthering Heights is a riddle which has meant so many thins to so many people.It is small wonder Clement Shorter would call its author the sphinx of our mod literature.The author used some settings to build the characters and made them rich, which is the indispensable element contributed a lot to the value of the novel.
