The Lure of Social Standing and Success
Another theme of Wuthering Heights is the lure of social standing and success. Cathy marries Edgar after becoming infatuated with his image as a cultured gentleman with wealth enough to meet her every need. Isabella marries Heathcliff after becoming infatuated with an idealized, romantic image of him. I feel as if many of the characters are very vain and unwise.
I agree that this is a theme associated with the book but i do not think that this is the prevailing theme. I think that the prevailing theme of the book is love gone wrong.
