    Abstract:
    This dissertation is a literary analysis of Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, and Dorian from The Picture of Dorian Gray. It has been analyzed whether the masculinity presented by Heathcliff and Dorian Gray is characterized by the fictional environments in which they concur (public or private). The importance or need to belong to a group and how this can affect masculinity has been studied, as well as if these two characters can be classified as Byronic heroes. The analysis demonstrates that what shaped masculinity in the 19th century English society, helped on the construction of these characters. It demonstrates that the setting in which the plot unfolds also contributes to the construction of masculinity in the characters. It also shows that both characters can be defined as Byronic Heroes.
