What is Mr. Darcy to me, pray, that I should be afraid of him? I am sure we owe him no such particular civility as to be obliged to say nothing he may not like to hear. For Heaven's sake, Madam, speak lower. What advantage can it be for you to offend Mr. Darcy? You will never recommend yourself to his friend by doing so!

Wuthering Heights

Emily Bronte was an English novelist & poet, who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights. She has written poems also such as - Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, A Death Scene, To a Wreath of Snow, and many more. Wuthering Heights is a highly imaginative work of passion and hate. The author was interested in mysticism and enjoyed her solitude outdoors. This novel consists of those elements. It is now considered a classic of English literature. It was published under the pseudonym - Ellis Bell.

The story is full of high creativity and very imaginative. It narrates revenge as well. It revolves around the main character, Heathcliff. Wuthering Heights is his farmhouse. Heathcliff is a young orphan, who was brought to Wuthering Heights by Earnshaw 30 years ago. Earnshaw loves him (Heathcliff) so much, that he neglects his own children. After the death of Earnshaw, his elder son Hindley becomes the new master of Wuthering Heights and allows Heathcliff to stay there only as a servant. Catherine is in love with Heathcliff but doesn't show it due to her social status. The story thus seems very interesting and ends with sights of the ghosts of Catherine and Heathcliff.

It consists of many ups and downs. Readers will surely enjoy the novel. It's heart-throbbing and very difficult to get up without reading the novel fully.
