This week I read a good few chapters of the book. Again I was confronted by confusing dialogue and plot development. I am starting to think that the speaker of this novel, Mr. Lockwood, is never going to be in the love affair that I read about on the back of the book. I also learned that the widow that lives in the house bears the same name as the ghostly Catherine. So from this section I learned, that Heathcliff( the head of Wuthering Heights) is really a gypsy orphan who the former owner Mr. Earnshaw had brought home one day. Catherine was his daughter and she had a brother named Hindley. Hindley and Heathcliff didn’t get along and their father favored Heathcliff. This was very helpful for me in deciphering the love story and I believe that the young widow is no longer a part of it either. Heathcliff grew up complaining little and being very determined and solid. He was hardly ever a trouble and was a constant companion to Catherine and her fed her needs for a rebellious life. This led to him being despised by all the workers at the hose save one or two. I believe that he loved her because when Mr. Lockwood says he saw her ghost Heathcliff goes a little insane and yells to her to come in. What still confuses me is how the illegitimate Heathcliff got the title to the land when the proper heir, Hindley should get it and I think that it will be very dramatic and kind of cheesy. I haven’t decided whether or not I like this book yet because nothing thus far has kept me riveted to it. I hope some more reading help to craft my opinion on this book.
