From the book 'the wuthering heights by emily bronte, what are the conflicts presented in the story?

Question

and how are these resolved?

Answer 1

There is a conflict between nature/culture, nature represented by the savage Heathcliff, and culture represented by the conventional Catherine. For example, when Heathcliff and Catherine were running together in the hills, and they came across a ferocious dog, and he bit Catherine, when the neighbours, the Lintons, came to rescue her, they took her immediately to Thrushcross Grange, because she had "social status", as for Heathcliff, they literally shooed him off, saying he was a "thief" and other things of the sort. This conflict between nature and culture is exactly what pushed Catherine to marry Edgar Linton, instead of Heathcliff, even if they were obviously meant for each other.
This conflict resolves itself only at the end of the novel, when Catherine, who has already been dead for a while, is rejoined in heaven by Heathcliff, who dies in Wuthering Heights in a room where the window is open. We can imagine only that they reunited in heaven, from the symbolim (window open, for example). Also, in Heathcliff's last scene, where he is dead, is lying on the floor with a smile on his face, as if he finally found what he was looking for. And all this is proof that Catherine and Heathcliff's love somehow transcend social norms, conventional morality, and anything human.

Answer 2

One conflict is Heathcliffe and the way he perceives he is treated because he isnt of the same social standing as the others. He resolves this by marrying a woman who is very vulnerable and abusing her as well as his child who is also weak and vulnerable. It makes him seem powerful. It really makes him a jerk.

Answer 3

illegitimacy, class conflict, nature vs. society (man vs. nature), and Catherine dies, sorry so short, you just requested 13 min. ago. With Emily, always pay attention to the natural environment.
