Quarter 3 Post 1 ~ Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights
Emily Bronte
Gothic fiction
28/334

         The main character, a man named Mr. Lockwood, is an opinionated and well-bred man. Another character, Heathcliff, would describe Mr. Lockwood as rude and a terrible guest, but good conversation. Mr. Lockwood would probably put the books he found in the room he stayed in, at Wuthering Heights. Mr. Lockwood found these books, along with a name written on the windowsill- sometimes written Catherine Earnshaw, sometimes Catherine Heathcliff, and sometimes Catherine Linton- and was very intrigued by them, as there were notes from this Catherine written in the margins; little ideas and even full diary entries. I believe that future generations would view these books as good insights into civilization in the past (our present) as they detail Catherine's everyday life and habits.
