"If all else perished and he remained I should still continue to be; and if all else remained and he were annihilated the universe would turn to a mighty stranger."
from Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights analyzed discussed and studied from every possible critical point of view yet still remaining unexhausted depicts fascinating characters upon whom it probably rests its popularity especially Heathcliff for whom Charlotte Brontë in the preface for the novel after the very death of Emily Brontë writes: "Whether it is right or advisable to create beings like Heathcliff I do not know. I scarcely think it is."

Wuthering Heights partly based upon Gothic tradition however transcending its genre due to its wonderful observations and subtlety has a powerful position in world literature and has been probably one of the most haunting love stories ever written.
