Abstract
The Victorian era has always been in the focus of my interest. From
the literary point of view it was a period of huge literary output. Although
sometimes there are diverse opinions about the worth of all of their
literature, the Victorians seem to have been obsessed with social and
political problems. Despite the fact that the Victorian era prided itself on
being the age of progress, ordinary people experienced poverty, injustice,
ugliness and different forms of immorality.
In Chapter One, I discuss the main characters Rochester and
Heathcliff in the two novels Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights and their
characteristic features as Byronic heroes. First I focus on Heathcliff as a
Byronic hero, and then very briefly I describe the incestuous love motif with
reference to Byron’s Manfred to make clearer my views on Byron’s
influence upon the writer. Further on I dwell on Rochester as a Byronic hero.
