Passage
Many critics of Emily Brontë’s novel, Wuthering Heights see its second part as counterpoint that comments on, if it does not revers, the first part, where a “romantic” reading receives more confirmation. Seeing the two part as a whole is encouraged by the novel’s sophisticated structure, revealed in its complex use of narrator and the time shift. Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue an authority awareness of novelistic construction compatible to that of the Henry James, their present does not encourage attempt to unify the novel’s heterogeneous parts. However, any interpretation that seeks to unify all of the novels diverse element is bound to be somewhat unconvincing. This is not because such an interpretation, necessarily stiffen into a thesis, (although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novels is always a danger), but because Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant element of undeniable power that, ultimately, racist inclusion in an all encompassing interpretation. In this respect, Wuthering Heights share a feature of Hamlet.
