Wuthering Heights #3

Every novel that is written must have a universal theme. The authors have a lot of thinking to do. In the novel Wuthering Heights, there is one universal theme that really stands out to me. The theme is that love is tough at times. There will always be obstacle you will have to go through. But in the end it will be worth it. Just like Heathcliff and Catherine's relationship. There were very many obstacles for the two and that resembles many relationships. So Bronte did a good job with the theme because many of the readers could relate to it.

As for human nature, I think that Emily Bronte understood that very well. Revenge is one of the many things that are common in human nature. Bronte noticed that and put a lot of revenge in her novel. She also knows that greed is in human nature. So when Catherine decides to marry Edgar, it is out of greed because she just wants money and to be in a higher social class. She chose money over love. And many humans make that mistake. Humans make mistakes in general and Bronte did an excellent job of adding that human nature in her novel.
