    different‚ yet are at the root of each other. If you say‚ "I want to be loved‚" it ’s the same thing as saying "I ’m afraid I won ’t be loved." Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier manage to show how similar desire and fear truly are. Wuthering Heights is saturated with desire and fear and the two play off of one another in a way that makes them so homogeneous.
