Summary/Abstract: The translated article explores how Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights” is deeply rooted in literary traditions, blending Byronic Romanticism with metaphysical and mystical elements. Brontë uses myth-making and mysticism to create a unique feminist vision of female identity, challenging patriarchal literary models. By revising Milton’s ideas of heaven and hell and merging opposing elements, the novel questions traditional perceptions of power, gender, and cultural identity. This translation highlights the importance of understanding Brontë as a visionary author who reimagines societal and literary structures of her time.
