"Wuthering Heights" is studied by first-year undergraduates
worldwide but students often find it difficult to approach the
novel's characters in a sophisticated way; typically dwelling on
the relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine, but without
getting to grips with Bronte's complex development of these
characters. Students also often forget that this novel, which is
stereotyped as a novel about doomed love on the solitary Yorkshire
moors, is in fact peopled with a large cast of idiosyncratic
characters, each of whom plays an important part in the plot.
Engaging with these characters will allow students to come to a
better understanding of the themes, issues and context of
"Wuthering Heights"."Character Studies" aims to promote
sophisticated literary analysis through the concept of character.
It demonstrates the necessity of linking character analysis to
texts' themes, issues and ideas, and encourages students to embrace
the complexity of literary characters and the texts in which they
appear. The series thus fosters close critical reading and
evidence-based discussion, as well as an engagement with historical
context, and with literary criticism and theory.
