Abuse and Control Cycle on Repeat

"A world in chaos, People fighting for control."  Professor J's statement in class today that I liked so much that I had to write it down.  This statement is so true for me and I feel very strongly about this.  For many many generations, in many different religions and cultures, people are always fighting for control.  Causing lots of revenge, losses of loved ones, blood-shed, tears, even one's own country.  This never-ending cycle will always be repeating itself.  Control is what the human race will constantly fight for.  Whether this control is for a nation, a country, for the human-rights, whatever, the cycle will always turn round and round. 

In Wuthering Heights, abuse, to me, seems like a "control" that the characters use on each other. I also recognize that this kind of abuse is all they know and that the cycle will keep on repeating itself. The characters will not change because the control that they want is already in effect and we, as humans, want whatever we can't have.  That want might be power, or money, or love, as in Wuthering Heights, or family, or material things, etc.  And we feel so much better if we have "control" of everything around us.  Maybe, then, it will finally lead us to get what we really want in life.  Sometimes, we get what we want but is it for the better?  Will it last? Or do we want it so much that we "make" it last for however long it will last for us? Sometimes, we don't get what we want and so the control and the abuse comes in.  

Anger and revenge usually ends in an abuse.  Hindley's abuse towards his son, Hareton, because he blamed his child for the death of his wife, Frances.  Heathcliff's control and abuse of Isabella because he couldn't marry his love, Catherine.  And we see this in society, even today, of Hindley and Heathcliff's kind of abuse and controls.  The cycle itself will keeping repeating.  This we cannot control.
