Heathcliff Was Not a Hero: The Psychology of a Malignant Narcissist

Описание: Is Wuthering Heights the greatest love story ever told, or is it a terrifying case study of narcissism and abuse? For decades, we romanticized Heathcliff as a passionate lover. We were wrong.

In this video essay, we analyze Emily Brontë’s masterpiece through the lens of Dark Psychology. We expose Heathcliff not as a victim, but as a "Malignant Narcissist" who destroyed two families out of spite. We explore the toxic dynamic between him and Catherine—a relationship defined not by love, but by "Trauma Bonding" and obsession.

We discuss why "I am Heathcliff" is actually a declaration of lost identity, and how the cycle of abuse turns a victim into a monster.

In this video, we explore:
• The Malignant Narcissist: Why Heathcliff fits the clinical diagnosis.
• Trauma Bonding: Why Catherine and Heathcliff couldn't stay apart (It wasn't love).
• The Cycle of Abuse: How Heathcliff punished the children for the sins of the fathers.
• The Ghost: Is the haunting real, or just a manifestation of guilt?

"He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."
