7th Post

For this post I continued my reading and much happened in this section. The book never fails to have plot development and that’s one good thing about the book. Unfortunately the plot development isn’t always interesting to read about and often times I find myself not really caring. As for what actually happened in this section of the book I will now tell, after leaving when Catherine says that she wouldn’t marry him but Edgar, Heathcliff runs away. Heathcliff returns in this section and about seven years have passed since he left. According to the narrator, who is the maid Mrs. Dean, those were the most tranquil and happiest times at the house. The Lintons, the family of Catherine her husband Edgar and sister-in-law Isabella don’t live at Wuthering Heights but in a nearby town home called Thrushcross Grange. Upon his return the house of Thrushcross Grange is thrown into calamity. The temper of Catherine grows larger and the misgivings about Heathcliff’s to the home by Edgar get to be quite a burden on his shoulders. In general, Edgar is always looking to please Catherine and keep her in a good mood. He is also very mild mannered and not quick to strike up a quarrel. When Heathcliff comes into the house to see Catherine for the first time in a long time Edgar walks in to see them and his temper is inflamed and he threatens to kill Heathcliff. Heathcliff waves it off as a taunt and insults Edgar who leaves to return with men to help him and a gun.
