1 Introduction
Emily Jane Bronte (1818-1848) was the sister of Charlotte Bronte and Anne Bronte; these three girls are all very creative and all of them were great English writers. During their childhood, Bronte sisters all had a brief and unhappy experience of education at the Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughters’ School, but Emily was the most rooted in Haworth and the Yorkshire moors of all the Brontes, she knows the surrounding well. All these nature beauty contributes a lot to her novel’s setting. When Wuthering Heights was first released to public in 1847, it does not as successful as her sister-Charlotte’s Jane Eyre; people of that generation could not accept Heathcliff, the fierce, wild, cruel and emotional creature which ruined many character’s life, and was deeply disobeyed the conventional culture. |
