Theme of wildness in king lear and wuthering heights

الملخص EN

In Wuthering Heights too, as in King Lear the wildness being created in the wild workshop of the unconscious of the protagonist takes three phases in between the beginning and the end.

In the first phase we have both the negation and assertion of the acquisitive instinct by turns; at the assertion stage we have the clash with the love instinct.

In the second phase, this clash results in wildness, not only of the personality of Heathcliff but also of Catherine.

In the third and the last phase there is the resurgence of humanity and complete surrender to the divinity of love.

These two characters, like King Lear, pass from love to love through the turbulence of their wild mind and wild nature.
