closer to her Emily Bronte the author of

play19:19

this novel has made pairs between

Edgar Linton is towards the Civilized

play19:31

side heran Earnshaw is towards the

play19:35

nature side whereas Linton eara is

play19:37

towards the Civilized side Catherine is

play19:41

towards the nature side whereas Isabella

play19:43

is towards the Civilized side same goes
