Other scholars seemed to focus on a certain novel for further investigation. 

Xiang yi (2013) mainly focused on the character traits of Heathcliff by analyzing his love for Catherine and his revenge on Hindley and Edgar Linton.

Fu xin (2015) claimed that Heathcliff has no humanity for he has no love in return and he chooses to have revenge on Hindley, on his marriage, on the love of Catherine and on the descendants.

Li wenya (2015) began with the analysis based on the cause of Heathcliff’s tragedy and had researches on the theme, revenge, of Wuthering Heights.

Zhu Xiaoyin (2007) made his investigation mainly on the comparison of Heathcliff and Medea in Greek mythology and the prototype of the Wuthering Heights trying to make it possible to explain the atrocity of Heathcliff.

Han Xia (2009) chose to start from the characteristic of Heathcliff and he held the belief that Heathcliff’s revenge is a process of ego awareness.

In the paper A Pitiable Devil, a Satanic Hero written by Wang Qing (2014), he concentrated on the loss and the regain of humanity in Heathcliff and the tragedy, and he regarded Heathcliff as the origin of Satanic hero.

Fu Jiangtao (2010) held the view that the revenge of Heathcliff was from the selfishness of Catherine and the loss of humanity besides the common opinion that the painful experience of Heathcliff and the social background of this book that all the lower grades wanted to be rich and powerful.

Similarly, Duan Lifang (2014) mainly focuses on Catherine’s betrayals of love which she thought is the main reason of Heathcliff’s revenge while other reasons such as the miserable childhood and the unfair treatments do harm to the growth of Heathcliff. However, Duan Lifang (2014) held the belief that Heathcliff is a romantic hero for his persistent and passionate love to Catherine. She regarded Heathcliff as a complex character for the loss and the regain of the humanity.

In the thesis An Analysis of the Dual Personalities of Heathcliff in Wuthering Height: A Hero or A Devil, Xie Shuangmei (2013) began the thesis by analyzing the duality of Heathcliff from the aspect of his characters and gave reasons that the root of Heathcliff’s duality was mainly from the torture and the unfair treatments. And from the aspect of humanity, Heathcliff was regarded as a hero while from the aspect of morality; Heathcliff was regarded as a devil. In her opinion, it was the faithful love to Catherine and his extraordinary merits: courage, perseverance and strong self-respect that made Heathcliff a hero. And on the other hand, the death of Catherine and the decision to revenge made him a total devil.

As for the research on the revenge of The Count of Monte Cristo, Zhou Wen (2017) chose to start with the analysis of revenge to the person and the society. She stated the revenge reason and the process and made a further analysis based on the humanity of Edmond the main hero. Zhou Wen (2017) believed that during the revenge, Edmond was still the goodwill sailor and after his revenge, he chose to be back to normal in the world. Zhou Wen thought that it was the self-consciousness that made Edmond a good ending.

Wei Wenhua (2013) made the analysis and the thesis which are mainly based on the humanity, too. However, he chose to make analysis based on the forgiveness of Edmond after he finished his revenge. And he pointed out that the revenge of this novel mainly focused on the regain of self-awareness and the faithful power of forgiveness after the revenge.

In Wu Xiaoyun’s (2011) opinion, he analyzed the topic of revenge mainly from the aspect of the key word “wait and hope” at the end part of the novel together with the growth of Dumas.

Another two scholars, Yang Jinjian (2004) and Wang Li (1996) both focused on the revenge in the western literature and give out the typical revenge method in the literature.

However, they all ignored the power of religion in the comparison and contrast of the two books. In the two books, religion aspects made big differences to the two main heroes’ ending. Heathcliff didn’t get enough study both in turns of knowledge and religion belief. And it was because the loss of religion awareness that made Heathcliff a total demon for revenge and at the end of the story Heathcliff chose to suicide. On the other hand, with the awareness of religion, Edmond chose a totally different way from Heathcliff. In the whole novel, Father Faria was the one who enlightened Edmond’s religion awareness and made Edmond think about revenge fully and with the heart for forgiveness. Besides, the typical word given at the end of the novel showed the religion awareness of Edmond. “Wait and hope” was the main idea of the whole novel which was a representation of religion thoughts. 《基督山伯爵》与《呼啸山庄》中复仇元素的对比分析(3):http://www.chuibin.com/yingyu/lunwen_206242.html
