This is a report over the book wuthering heights

What is insanity? One might ask this question some time through out their life. Insanity is madness, the state of being insane. In Wuthering Heights, Bronte uses insanity to make many points throughout the novel. This theme of insanity will be used to discuss all the unconventional things that Heathcliff does in the novel Wuthering Heights. Also, the three main feelings that could drive oneself to insanity will be confabulated, Obsession, Grief, and Revenge. The Obsession Heathcliff has with Catherine, the Grief that Heathcliff had with Catherine's marriage to Edgar, and the Revenge that Heathcliff takes on Hindley. All three of these topics play a very important role to the outcome of this novel, as well as help one to better understand the concept of insanity that Bronte uses in the novel.

Insanity can show up in many different situations, it can be seen in love, hate, desire, lust, greed, grief, or even by just having a lack of food.
