“Heathcliff, the Protagonist of Emile Bronte's Wuthering Heights as a Byronic Hero”

This paper means an analysis of the characteristics of Heathcliff, the protagonist of Emile Bronte's Wuthering Heights with special focus on those that go well matched with the concept of a Byronic hero despite the fact that the traditional heroic virtues are all absent in him. The fact that he is neither good nor bad utterly and that his passions prove him both superior and inferior to common man making him equally pitiable and despicable have made this exploration quite interesting and challenging.
