초록

Wuthering Heights appeared as a sport in the Victorian era of England in the 19th century, when scientific logic and proof were the mainstream. In Wuthering Heights, the exact viewpoint and actual space are clearly presented. Heathcliff’s revenge, as brutal and realistic as the extreme romanticism of loving even to death, makes an unbelievable story believable. However, such a trend of realism goes unnoticed due to its extreme romanticism. The fact that critics’ analyses are largely divided in terms of the fact and fiction of Wuthering Heights reflects this.
The evaluation of literary magazines at the time of the publication was Wuthering Heights is a rough, jumbled, and bizarre mess, representing that various interpretations are possible. This provides a basis for analyzing this novel by the ontological triple dialectics. Wuthering Heights, in which the symmetric structure of Heights and Grange is clear, may be a novel confined to the limited area of Yorkshire in the Victorian era of England in the 19th century. However, Wuthering Heights goes beyond the limits of its historical and social cognition due to encounters with ghosts, extreme passion, a social circumstance of snobbery, and a way of ignoring conventional social systems and classes. The variable characteristics of Wuthering Heights can only be properly understood when interpreted spatiality. According to Soja’s argument, the rich insights of spatiality will provide a place for interpretations and knowledges that has never been imagined about the historicality and sociality of human lives.
The regional specificity of Wuthering Heights overwhelms the change in the transition period from a traditional agricultural society to a capitalist industrial society. The Yorkshire landscape builds images of limits and confinement around the moor, but it does not stop there, but also connecting to the layers of existence. Such spatiality is embodied by ghosts and haunted houses. The moor of Wuthering Heights is no longer a fictional space haunted by ghosts, a real-imagined space beyond the boundary between the real and the imagined. That is the reason for the existence of Wuthering Heights.
Brontë, who was in a social deadlock, elaborately portrayed human nature along with history, society, and space with her ceaseless artistic will. When historicality, sociality, and spatiality are explored on an equivalent level, the authentic Wuthering Heights can be discovered.
