SHort reminder Wuthering Heights is set mostly in the 18th century, with the latest point in the book (the ending) being 1807. It is not set in the time that it was written

I'm sure all you say is true. I'm not saying these are invalid stances. But one might say Mein Kampf is a story of an assertion of the power of the village (die volk) against the urban capitalist structures of the city. That would be true, but it doesn't make Heathcliff or Hitler any less monstrous. So when we say Heathcliff subverts imperialism, we can accept that this is true..but we should be clear in what sense it is true. I hope my rather strongly worded observation isn't taken as a personal attack on anybody. It is intended as a perspective as grist to your mill. You may or may not agree with it!
