How does Emily bronte succeed in ending wuthering heights with the massage love overcomes hate​
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Emily Bronte succeeded in ending <em>Wuthering Heights </em>with the message that love overcomes hate by the union of Hareton and young Catherine after the enormous hate they received from Heathcliff.

Explanation:

In <em>Wuthering Heights, </em>Emily Bronte the author writes a tale about largely unlikable persons that are caught up in an obsessive love that turns to dark madness. The novel is cruel, violent, dark, brooding and some readers find it unpleasant.

The novel is about Heathcliff and Catherine and the deep love they have for each other. Heathcliff is love-struck by Catherine and can not bear to be away from her although he has a strong personality that shows he can bear almost anything, except that. Catherine is Heathcliff's foster sister.

Unfortunately, Catherine betrays his love by getting married to Edgar Linton because of the pressures of social convention. Heathcliff leaves the area and comes back after three years after Catherine's marriage and he vows revenge on all who wronged him.

He lends Hindley money that he knows he cannot pay back and as a result inherits the manor then he marries Isabella Linton and treats her cruelly. Heathcliff has a son Hareton and Catherine has a daughter who was named after her and after Heathcliff dies, they both get married.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The line is a metaphor for:

B. A life without dreams.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the poem:

<em>Hold fast to dreams </em>

<em>For if dreams die </em>

<em>Life is a broken-winged bird </em>

<em>That cannot fly. </em>

<em>  </em>

<em>Hold fast to dreams </em>

<em>For when dreams go </em>

<em>Life is a barren field </em>

<em>Frozen with snow.</em>

<em />

<u>As we can see above, in the first stanza the author compares life to a broken-winged bird after mentioning the death of dreams. What the author means is that a life without dreams is as purposeless as a bird that cannot fly. Dreams are what makes life worth living, what gives us a sense of purpose. Without them, there is no reason to go on.</u>
