Abstract
This essay mainly explores the connection between the administrative/operative machinery which is at work in the utopian society and the way it manipulates the mobility as well as the lives of its dwellers. The essay also discusses the manipulated locations and dislocations of the citizens in the utopian island. Michael de Certeau’s ‘Walking in the City’ has been used as a theoretical framework to approach Thomas More’s work in fiction, Utopia. The aim of the research is to explore the usual in Utopia. Usually, the Utopia or the Island itself has been considered as an ideal place to live in; however, this paper attempts to find out something less ideal or the excessive check on the citizens that mars their liberty or free will. The study argues that the lives of the citizens on the island are mutilated with almost numerical values to the extent that they almost seem serving under a servitude.

Abstract
This research aims at the character and behavior analysis of Heathcliff in Emily Bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights. The researcher attempts to represent the behavior of Heathcliff in the light of Stimulus-Response theory in order to justify his strange, harsh and unusual behavior. The researcher applies the stimulus-response theory proposed by a renowned American Psychologist, John B.Watson, who asserts that the basic factor behind the formation of human behavior is Environment, and that human behavior is conditioned through the stimulus-response association, thus human behavior is a response to a stimulus. The research follows the descriptive method of analysis and close text-reading approach. The study shows that how the behavior of Heathcliff is shaped taking influence from his surroundings, people and his bitter experiences. The study proves that his harsh and bizarre nature is the product of his environment and his behavior being patronized through a particular stimulus -response bond.
