The publication of Wuthering Heights can be considered the watershed to the fame of its author – Emily Bronte in the world’s literature in general and English literature in particular. This masterpiece is listed among the most celebrated literary works of all time not only for its tactful structure but also for its creativeness in characterization. This graduation paper attaches importance to the similarities and differences between the two Catherines – the two main heroines in this novel. As such, it contains three main parts. The first one is introduction which includes rationale, working method and scope of the study. The second part – development is divided into three chapters.

The last part – conclusion summarizes all of the findings of this graduation paper that the researcher has found out and gives possible explanation concerning the messages transferred in the comparison between elder Catherine and young Cathy.
