Özet:
My thesis proposes to uncover what I term an Emilian Philosophy in the reading of Emily Bronte's only novel, and suggests that Wuthering Heights reflects Bronte's vision of a society progressing toward social and spiritual reform. Through this journey, Bronte seeks to conciliate the two contrasting sides of humanity -- natural and social -- by offering a middle state that willingly incorporates social law without perverting human nature by forcing it to mold itself into an unnatural social system, which in turn leads to a "wholesome" (Gesunde) humanity. While Heathcliff embodies Bronte's view of a primitive stage of humanity, Hareton reincarnates the wholesome state of humanity that balances human natural creativity and cravings with Victorian unrelenting reason. Bronte treats Heathcliff's death as a point in life, in which mankind is emancipated from social constraints and is able to achieve ultimate happiness. This view of death is reassuring as it displaces the anxiety associated with death and separation. My study will highlight the influence of Friedrich Schiller's, Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Philosophical writings and literary works, as well as the influence of the Franciscan Order in Catholicism and its founder St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and environment, in framing Bronte's philosophy to propose a social and religious reform anchored in nature.
