Arab Open University Heathcliffs Wuthering Heights Discussion

In Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff is a complex character who functions as both victim and victimizer over the course of the novel. How is Heathcliff portrayed as a victim in the novel and how does he react to such victimization? Conversely, how is he depicted as a victimizer? Is his behavior as a victimizer justifiable? How does the complex characterization of Heathcliff contribute to the complexity and hybridity of the novel as a whole? Discuss Heathcliff’s character and his position in society using a coherent theoretical approach, such as postcolonial, psychoanalytical, or Marxist.
