抄録

Sir Walter Scott's novel Waverley is compared with Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. Their narrators are unreliable in their own ways: Emily's inconclusive manner of speaking is similar to Scott's wavering literary identity between history and fiction. Scott's heroes fuse themselves into the unified ending whereas Emily's Lockwood remains at a distance as an onlooker. This stillness is considered to be her expression of resistance to Scott's happy endings. Emily is in conflict with Scott's harmonious endings and reaches her original sphere of ambiguity and coexistence.
