Heathcliff is an extremely complicated figure. At first glance, he seems to be an out-and-out villain and sometimes even a criminal. He intervened in the destruction of Haendly, brutally abused Isabella and Hareton, and resorted to vicious means. This shows that it is impossible to sympathize with such people. When he committed heinous crimes and kidnapped little Catherine and Nelly Dean, he openly violated social laws and trampled on social moral standards.
Wuthering Heights is the work of emily bronte, one of the Bronte sisters, a British female writer, and one of the representative works of English literature in the19th century.

Creation background
Emily was withdrawn by nature and introverted from childhood. She is taciturn and always feels like a man. As Charlotte said, "She has a unique personality." When she was a teenager, she and her sisters "fabricated" stories and wrote poems at home. She was very special. Later, Emily's works included in their poetry collections were always puzzled by the theme of "evil" like Baudelaire or Poe, and there was always a shadow of death between pure lyric styles.
When she wrote Wuthering Heights, this feeling of confusion and anxiety became more impatient. She urgently needs to create a fictional world to interpret it, so that her heart almost tears out pain through the mouth of the characters in the novel.
The influence of the work
Wuthering Heights has been regarded as "the strangest novel" in the history of English literature since its publication, and it is also a mysterious "fantastic book". The reason is that it violates the sentimental sentiment that is common in contemporary works. It is replaced by deep sadness and melancholy, strong love and violent hatred, and it is replaced by deep sadness and melancholy by ruthless revenge.
It is like a strange lyric poem, with rich imagination and surging emotions between the lines, and it has shocking artistic power. Although it was originally regarded as a naive fantasy of young women writers divorced from reality, it was quickly recognized by critics and warmly welcomed by readers in combination with the fierce class struggle in the region and the social phenomenon in Britain.
