Sahar, I like your last sentence! You could have said more about the destructive nature of love and why this
makes a stronger read than P and P. Re-read this post; it is mostly plot summary, right? I think
if you'd focused on this sentence and then developed it with some detail you'd have a super strong
argument here.

Both Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice exemplify the emotions that arise from the want of a human being; however, Wuthering Heights depicts the destruction in which results when someone such as Heathcliff feels so much passion towards the woman he wants, Catherine Earnshaw. When Catherine accepts Edgar Linton's proposal despite her mutually passionate love for Heathcliff, Heathcliff becomes outraged and seeks vengeance. He seeks revenge on Edgar because he believes it to be his fault that Catherine would not accept him to love because of his social status from being an orphan taken into the house of gentlemen, grown up a gentleman, then forced to be a servant again. In order to seek this revenge on Edgar, he allows Edgar's sister Isabella to fall in love with him then elope with him only to abuse her and get revenge on Edgar through their marriage. By doing this, Heathcliff's obsession with Catherine becomes evident as he tries everything to get her to be in love with him. This teaches the reader that passion is beautiful; however, when it becomes too strong, it becomes destructive to even people not directly involved such as Isabella. In conclusion, Wuthering Heights should be taught because it depicts the dangers of too much passion and emotion and how quickly it can become destructive to everyone involved.
