L. P. Hartley on Lord David Cecil 2 quotes
βTo my mind one of his finest achievements in the field of literary criticism is his theory of Emily BrontΓ«'s basic intention in Wuthering Heights. By the house and household of Hindley or filched from him by the villain Heathcliff β she means to represent the storm, the aberration from normal human nature. Whereas Thrushcross Grange, in spite of its many vicissitudes, embodies the calm, the restoration of order out of chaos, which wins in the end, after and indeed before Heathcliff's death... Emily's sympathies may have been with the storm rather than the calm, and I think they were; but it was left to David Cecil to discern the broad fundamental contrast between the two worlds of Wuthering Heights.β
