Love and Hate Emotions are the strongest feelings that come to life through our highest highs and our lowest lows. The two most extreme emotions known to man are love and hate. As experience has taught me, Love conquers all. With love, you can do anything. The power of love is stronger than hate because love gets you where you want to go and hate only brings pain and sorrow in its wake. When we begin to read Wuthering Heights, we begin to realize that the story is built around love. Heathcliff and Catherines love was unsurpassed. When Hindley begins to abuse on Heathcliff and Catherine marries Edgar Linton, Heathcliff exacts his revenge. Heathcliff throughout most of the novel uses his hate to try to destroy all those around him.
One can see to what great lengths he would actually go with this quote; Im trying to settle how I shall pay Hindley back. I dont care how long I wait, if I can only do it at last. I hope he will not die before I do. (Bronte).
Love does prevail in the novel however because no matter how much revengeful Heatcliff will try to destroy any site of love, he would realize that what he does doesnt affect them because they have love. You can see this with young Catherine and the abused Hareton overcome all obstacles and fall in love.
Then if we begin to read The House of Spirits we realize that also in this book that love conquers all obstacles especially hate. In The House of Spirits, Esteban plays the same role Heatcliff plays in Wuthering Heights. Esteban is a person that is capable of love, but only brings out the hate in him with his actions. He may raise a pile of dirt into a plantation with the use of his intellect, but through his raping and bullying he is portrayed as someone full of hate. One would see after reading this quote how much Estebans hate has hurt people throughout the novel, I set my curse on you, Esteban; you will always be alone! Your body and soul will shrivel up and you’ll die like a dog. No matter how much he oppressed women in the novel, you see that love will always conquer hate but if there were No Hate, There would be No Love.

Detest, abhor, loathe and hate all means the same, but most people are common with only one of these words, and that word is hate. Hate is extremely strong word, but it often slips off out tongue without thinking that it might offend someone. Merriam-Webster’s collegiate dictionary defines the word hate as “to feel strong aversion of intense dislike for.” My definition of the word “hate” is strong dislike towards somebody or something, because of their race, actions, or accomplishments. Racial hatred has been at its highest point during the Civil War years. Slavery was one of the major factors that started the racial hatred. Dispute between different beliefs about black rights, was a spark that started the racial war. During those years numerous hate groups had been formed, from KKK, and the Blood Brotherhood to the Black Panthers.
Every one of these groups believed that their race was superior to the rest. Sometimes, these hate groups would result in violence to demonstrate to what extremes they would result to prove how deep their believes were. Symbols like the swastika, and expressions like “white power” are still used today to express racial hatred. Feeling hate towards someone can happen as fast as a speeding bullet hitting your love one or it can build on inside of you for years. Hate because of someone’s actions is particularly common today. Couple of weeks ago, a lady killed and cut open a pregnant woman named Theresa Andrews, and she took her baby and claimed it hers.

If I were a husband of a victim that was brutally slaughtered, I would not be able to be next to the murderer without trying to somehow get revenge. Loss of a loved one can drive someone to the point of insanity, where the person believes that only way to continue their normal life is to seek revenge. Freeing yourself from hate is as difficult as trying to quit heroin or cocaine. First, person has to completely change their living habits. They have to get rid of everything that reminds them of the one they hate. Second, they should be involved in many group activities, so they can see that most people are friendly and fun to be around. The hardest part is to face the person that they hate, this will allow them to see if they accomplished the goal.
I the person can calmly talk to the one that they used to hate, than they succeeded in getting rid of hate, but if the person starts stuttering, shaking, forming a fist, or clenching their teeth, than we know that they are on the edge of losing the control over themselves. Finally, there is hatred because of someone’s achievements, or in another words, hatred because of jealousy. This form of hatred is not as severe as the previous two. People’s nature is to compete for the best luxuries that they can get. Everyone wants to be richer, more popular or on higher standards than their neighbor or their friends. Having more money gives people more confidence, and people with less confidence look at it with jealousy, which can overtime turn into hate.
What most people do not understand is that if there were no hate, there would be no love. Reason for this is that everyone would feel no dislikes for each other, and love would not be as special as it is. Hatred because of race, actions, or jealousy can have a positive effect on the person as long as it is not in extreme quantities. A great man named Fuller once said “Hatred is blind, as well as love.” To me this means that hatred is as strong as love, and that person with extreme hate is willing to go as far as the person with extreme love..
