Eternal love

Love has always been one of the major themes in Literature since the beginnings of times. Representing such a superb and caotic exaltation of emotions, ‘love’ is a concept that most writers have intended to define. In his “sonnet 116”, Shakespeare states that true love is an eternal, sincere, intense and never-changing devotion felt towards another person:

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments; love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wand’ring bark,

[...] love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom. (lines 1-12)

The same idea of an everlasting fondness is created in Pablo Neruda’s poem, “Amor” :

...Cómo sabría amarte, mujer, cómo sabría

Finally, what differs in Milton and Brontë’s definitions of love is the idea of ‘overcoming all difficulties’ since it is present in Paradise Lost but not in Wuthering Heights. For example, Catherine does not accept Heathcliff’s social background and for this she rejects him: “.

Love is represented as an important element that plays an essential role in these character’s lives.

The same as Adam and Eve’s love in Paradise -not in earth-, Catherine and Heathcliff’s love in Wuthering Heights is entirely spiritual and it has no limits. XVI )

Brontë devotes the last part of her novel to Heathcliff’s revenge till he dies and is buried next to Catherine which may imply their union after death. ] Holy, divine, good, amiable, or sweet! (lines 896-899)

This lovers share an infinite happiness in the Garden of Eden until Eve is tempted by Satan and takes the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Both, Milton in Paradise Lost and Brontë in Wuthering Heights project a definition of love which is expressed through Adam, Eve, Heathcliff and Catherine’s actions.
