Resum
Anna L’Estrange ventures to create a sequel for Wuthering Heights (Brontë Emily, 1847). In 1977 she embarks on an arduous task, to elaborate a continuance for Emily Brontë’s novel, and, at the same time, to provide certain data on the mysterious absence of Heathcliff in the Brontëan novel. The author knows that she will be criticized, and, even so, considers that Wuthering Heights “asks” for a continuation. L’Estrange creates Return to Wuthering Heights (1977), developed in parallel with its predecessor, both in structure and in the characterization of the characters. Return to Wuthering Heights (1977) details the story of the characters that Emily had left in the wastelands at the end of her novel. In this study we will analyze the loneliness, infidelity and absence of maternal instinct of the female characters in the two works.
