Emily bronte's wuthering heights : the novel as a dream and a psychological analysis

Abstract EN

What is meant by this paper is that some novels (tales, stories, dramas) are so effective that the reader lives in a dream as long as s/he is deeply involved in them.

Sigmund Freud's interest in literature was a blessing, for he believed that these novels might have been dreams (or daydreams), but the artist was able to transcribe them into works of fiction.

Oedipus complex was ed by him from Sophocles' Oedipus, to describe certain features of infantile sexuality; he analyzed more.

Wuthering Heights might prove to be a tragic sort of a dream, or really a nightmare, which distresses its readers till the end, where there is a gleam of hope.

It is not a sort of psychoanalysis of psychotic characters; neither can it be used to psychoanalyze the author herself, but psychological motives for strong passions, such as hate and revenge, are there.
