What the class says

Wuthering Heights is discussed as in relation to Kant: Heathcliff's love as being a transcendental love. In other words, it transcends all time. Another Scholarly Article compares Heathcliff to the monster in Frankenstein (or is it Dr. Frankenstein himself?). He strikes down his daughter, then has a moment of reflection. And yet another comparison of Heathcliff, as drawn from the book, labels him the personification of capitalism

Scholarly Articles
Are they written for the average person? Laura argues that scholar's write these articles, and while they are very well prepared, they become only applicable to those who are at an equal level of education within respected fields. When scholars have to simplify their message they often have great trouble. It appears that wihting society; however, some will seek out scholarly articles and some will seek out simpler definitions. There will never be a consensus.

The class on the films:

One creative procedure involves the same actress that portraying Catherine, portraying her daughter, as well. Film versions lack however, in that, they are not quite as dark as the book hints at. Yet, some of the nonverbal actions are much easier to understand when viewing individuals acting them out, instead of simply reading them on a page.

Laura's Message: Don't marry your soul-mate, he's a bum. Marry the person you want to have children with.
