I plunged back into the works of the Bronte sisters, I had read a teenager, but I did not keep a vivid memory. I remembered having liked Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte, and I stand by my positive assessment, remaining doubtful about the fact that we put such views into the hands of teen and amazed that young woman like Emily Bronte, who according to his biographers did not have much knowledge of the world, could conceive of such striking characters, and also original.
The story is set in a hamlet removed about half a dozen characters of the same family. Heathcliff, collected by Mr Earnshaw children, starts with "the devil with" Catherine, daughter of the householder. This child relationship already marked by some perversity, cruelty, however, fairly mundane mostly fades into adulthood, here goes turn into a passionate relationship and manipulative. Heathcliff will continue tirelessly throughout his life, not only to obtain the love of Catherine, who married Edgar Linton, the son of a magistrate neighbor, but also to take revenge on the entire family Earnshaw, brother of Catherine, who was despised and any offspring of her adoptive father. Intelligent, cynical, manipulative and cruel, he managed to capture all the family assets, and reduce most of its members to physical dependence, but also psychological. The grandchildren of the compassionate man who had picked him manage to emerge from the terrible grip of Heathcliff? Reread the book to find out: Wuthering Heights retains all its interest and originality. It's a real psychological drama, where all facets of the human soul are analyzed with great acuity, and is still shudder ... The work
Charlotte, Jane Eyre , pales next to the power of the only novel of Emily. Not that the adventures of the young orphan girl who leaves home to enter his uncle died in an orphanage before flying out on his own, are trivial or uninteresting. Start thinking about the consequences of lack of love on the character of young children is even relevant enough, and the character of Jane is quite endearing and original. But, unlike her sister Emily, who does not care much for social and religious conventions, yet pervasively present at the time, Charlotte seems to have wanted to make his novel a "building" filled with moral and metaphysical digressions that give the novel a character aged and sometimes irritating.
Big thank you to Rene for his Depasse reading Wuthering Heights , and Chantal Magnat to that of Jane Eyre , both downloadable audio.com Literature.
announce: the introduction of the French translation of Wuthering Heights is interesting, and provides information on the biography of Emily Bronte.
