Resumo de Comparison Between Wuthering Heights And Jane Eyre

Comparison between Wuthering Heights and Jane EyreWuthering Heights and Jane Eyre are both products of the Victoria era, written by ladies of the same family, who were sisters. The former was written by Emily Bronte and the latter by Charlotte Bronte. Both explore the theme of deep passionate love triumphing against all odds, involving manly, brooding, heroes, with a past; but while the former brings out diabolism on an earthly level and an imagined union beyond all bondages, the latter sticks to divine, mainly Christian basis human moral codes of marriage, particularly of the Victorian era, and a satisfied fulfillment of this, on earth itself.Due to this factor, the characterisations are also different. In Jane Eyre, the heroine of the same name, is gentle, plain, completely unnoticeable, yet with a dignified, clear, indomitable bearing and will. She is an orphan, who undergoes indignities right from childhood, sufferings as an adult , till getting true love. Catherine or Cathy, heroine of Wuthering Heights, is playful, wicked, loveable, confused and uncontrolled. She tries to capture everything, from a comfortable childhood to an advantageous marriage and love in there, to true love of her childhood, but only meets with death at the end. But her heart and soul are shown untainted with her honest love, her loved one dying later, so that both can get reunited, beyond this earth.The heroes, although both of a brooding, tough, melancholic, Byronic temperament with, complications in life, are essentially different in character, due to a difference in their background, status, environment, settings and upbringing. Mr Rochester of Jane Eyre, is a country gentleman, controlled in interaction, curt yet kind, specially as a master, flawed in principles application as per circumstances, yet with innate developmental strength in character, humane rule operation, even under the most adverse circumstances. He is never avenging, no matter how much he has been harmed. Heathcliff, is an orphan, with no background as known, brought up as a dependent, continually mistreated, and ultimately not getting his lady love, is shown by all this to become a revengeful, diabolical spirit to the extreme, to many others. His raw elemental manliness type energy is there, but without any character or scruples.The storyline of Jane Eyre is linear, progressing from present to future, childhood to adult. Happenings and narration coincide, except when Rochester reveals his past life of a miserable marriage to Jane. The whole story is written in the first person narrative, from a heroine?s point of view of narration. Wuthering Heights has a cyclical and zigzag time-line, going from the present to the past, and then back to the present again. The present is in the first person narrative,who figures in no way in the actual story. The actual story is the past itself, narrated in the third person, again not directly by the main people concerned.
