Isolation in Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte, is set in the detached Yorkshire moors during the early nineteenth century and depicts the lives of two contrasting families. Because Wuthering Heights was written during the Romanticism movement, some characteristics of the movement are reflected by the novel. The characters reasons for becoming isolated are ecumenical and can be connected to spots found in modern music. Bronte reveals familiar aspects of the compassionate condition by highlighting the manner in which the characters work isolated- either by their own choice or unintentionally.Catherine has made herself naughtily by refusing food and drink for days. Believing she is on the verge of goal, Catherine becomes hysteric and remembers her childhood with Heathcliff. During this episode, Catherine reveals her true feelings about her marriage to Edgar and her longing to be a child again. I had been wrenched from the Heights, and every early association at that time, had been converte d at a stroke into Mrs. Linton an exile, an outcast (pg. 118). Catherine has unintentionally isolated herself from where she belongs and is woful in the high- parliamentary procedure culture of Thrushcross Grange.Although Catherine believed raising her social status and obtaining solid objects would kick in her happy, it is not the case. Catherine does not fit in with the mannered and refined society at the Grange and realizes she truly belongs with Heathcliff. Catherine longs to be a child again because she had immunity in nature with Heathcliff, her true love. A similar situation occurs in A Billion Ernies Hermit Crab. In this song, the anonymous speaker unit feels tortured and but although they have all the material objects unitary could hankering for. This is torture at its finest state/ My blankets are warm and theres too such(prenominal) on my plate/ but I think Ill sleep below the stars tonight/ I feel content lying on a rock, sleeping in a tent/ Ive got everythin g I need compensate here/ I thought I had it all (A Billion Ernies). cordially blankets, a plate of food and a glowing fireplace do not satisfy the speaker. The speaker feels isolated in her/his current situation and longs to be free. Having freedom in nature fulfills the speaker more than having secular wealth. The speaker in Hermit Crab and Catherine were isolated in their situations although they had material riches.Both realize where they truly fit in, where they could be free from isolation, and no eight-day believe material objects and riches lead to happiness Catherine Linton has recently wedded birth to a child and passed away. Shortly thereafter, Isabella unexpectedly arrives at the Grange conduct and upset. Isabella tells Nelly of a violent fight between Hindley and Heathcliff, which has caused her to run away. These evens cause Edgar Linton more grief and he to chooses to isolate himself from society. He refrained from going anywhere where he was likely to see or hear of Heathcliff.Grief, and that together, transformed him into a lie with hermit (pg. 173). Edgar Linton experiences hot grief as a result of the close of Catherine Linton and the fleeing of Isabella and isolated himself at the Grange. These events cause Edgar to question where he belongs and his purpose in the world, which he contemplates while isolated. Similarly in What Hurts the Most, by rascal Flats, the anonymous speaker is lamenting the divergence of a love one. The speakers loved one passes away before he has a chance to understand everything he wants to her, which is what hurts him the most. Its hard to deal with the pain of loosin you everywhere I go / Its hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and Im alone/ Still harder gettin up, gettin dressed (Rascal Flats). The speaker finds it difficult to live without his loved one and see the friends of his loved one. Simply getting up in the dayspring is difficult for the speaker because he is now questionin g the world. After the death of a significant person, facing society is difficult and sorrow causes isolation and confusion. Many of the universal, everlasting truths of the Romantic movement are still devote in prose today.Even in todays society, people feel isolated when they do not belong in a place, no matter what the reasons. Worldly objects do not bring happiness and only a intelligence of belong brings freedom from isolation and peace of mind. Also, even in modern times, the loss of someone close causes mixed emotions about life and a persons sense of belonging. The death of a loved one continues to cause such intense lamentation that a person may choose to isolate himself/herself from society. The human condition is timeless.
