The presentation of Mr. Lockwood in Wuthering Heights The novel,

In Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte uses Mr. Lockwood to show that language is not enough to tell the truth and understand the other person. When Mr. Lockwood greets Heathcliff on their first encounter, Lockwood misjudges Heathcliff. He writes, “Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us” (Bronte 1). Also he describes Heathcliff as “a capital fellow” (Bronte 1).

3. Lockwood compares himself to Heathcliff in his hospitality and in his capacity within the subject of relationships. Lockwood also indirectly contrasts the environment’s suitability to the two

This cold treatment only progressed and became abusive when Mr. Earnshaw, one of the few people to ever care about Heathcliff, dies and his son who loathes the protagonist becomes the master of Wuthering Heights. “He drove him from their company to the servants, deprived him of the instructions of the curate, and insisted that he should labour out of doors instead; compelling him to do so as hard as any other lad on the farm” (Bronte 71).

This quote represents the first point of the book in which Lockwood realizes the Heights hold a secret no one wants him to know about. It stirs up his curiosity about the past affairs at Wuthering Heights and leads him to inquire about the story. He doesn’t know why this woman’s name is scratched into the wall so many times with such precision and curiosity. This leads him to investigate the woman and her past relationship with Heathcliff, who loved her enough to ask her to haunt him.

Throughout Wuthering Heights, there are multiple symbols employed to enrich the overall narrative, many of which have a multitude of meanings in order to elevate the text to a higher literary standard. One of the less obvious motifs is books. However, when reviewing their role in both Catherine and Cathy’s lives it is not clear to what degree it would be fair to claim they have a central role in the overall narrative, especially because of the “plurality” and “ambiguity” of each individual instance where the symbolism of books is introduced.

Through Bronte’s use of the frame novel Lockwood, depicts the landscape of the moors through two contrasting description that explore his changed self-awareness of the world around him. The first “naïve” description of the moors as “a perfect misanthropists heaven” which foreshadows the truth revealed through Bronte’s representation of the malevolent Heathcliff. Bronte has thus depicted how an imposing landscape can affect the experience on an individual (expand). Additionally, Bronte represents the extreme states of being and experiences through her metaphorical representation of the landscape in which she compares her love of Heathcliff to the “eternal rocks” and Linton’s to the “foliage of the woods”. This contrasting representation allows Bronte to convey Catherine’s love and passion for Heathcliff as the experience she lives for, something that is always there and is constantly referenced too throughout the book. Whilst Linton’s as the relationship that withers and dies, thus ultimately linking people and landscapes to explain the impact a landscape can have on how an individual perceives the world around them. Thus, Bronte has shaped the audience response in which she reveals the influence of a landscapes on the identity of an

One can argue that since the story is being told from different point of views and through multiple narrations, the narrators in the story do not seem to be very reliable or believable on what they tell about the character’s feeling and deeds. In Lockwood’s case, for instance, even though he does not deliberately mislead through mischief, he jumps to conclusions and sometimes misinterprets situations. All this makes the reader feel superior to him. Since Lockwood as a narrator misinterprets sometimes the situations and some elements about the characters, it means that the reader should pay more attention and read carefully through the story in order not to misunderstand events that happened in the story. This, however, makes the reader engage

As a young orphan who is brought to Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff is thrown into abuse as Hindley begins to treat Heathcliff as a servant in reaction to Mr. Earnshaw’s death. As a reaction to both this and Catherine discarding Heathcliff for Edgar, Heathcliff’s sense of misery and embarrassment causes him to change and spend the rest of his time seeking for justice. Throughout this time, Heathcliff leans on violence to express the revenge that he so seeks by threatening people and displaying villainous traits. However, Heathcliff’s first symptom of change in personality is when Heathcliff runs into Hareton after Cathy “tormented

In Bronte's Wuthering Heights women just hurt men and do not care. Isabella forces men to do what she wants until Lockwood comes into place. Isabella has a lot of privileges in her life which means she can want sovereignty.Catherine just uses Lockwood and then runs off with another man. Catherine is torn apart by these two men and are a foil to Lady Macbeth. “ Bronte has given Isabella Lockwood’s words, or vise-versa, implying similar reactions and characteristic defenses” ( Galef 245).

Heathcliff is introduced in Nelly's narration as a seven-year-old Liverpool foundling (probably an Irish famine immigrant) brought back to Wuthering Heights by Mr. Earnshaw. His presence in Wuthering Heights overthrows the prevailing habits of the Earnshaw family, members of the family soon become involved in turmoil and fighting and family relationships become spiteful and hateful. Even on his first night, he is the reason Mr. Earnshaw breaks the toys he had bought for his children. "From the very beginning he bred bad feelings in the house". Heathcliff usurps the affections of Mr. Earnshaw to the exclusion of young Hindley-: "The young master had learnt to regard his father as an oppressor rather than a

Lockwood changes his mind about Heathcliff being a capital fellow; he goes on to describe him as a 'rough fellow' to Nelly Dean, who replies, 'The less you meddle with him the better'. It is a possibility that nurture doesn't affect Heathcliff greatly, and that he has an evil nature affecting how he treats other characters. An example of this is when he marries Isabella out of spite, and treats her in a very violent way: although this gives an insight into how Heathcliff's nature

The description of the setting of Wuthering Heights is described so thoroughly, which emphasizes the gothic tradition in this book. It is 1801 and Mr. Lockwood, a new tenant at Thrushcross Grange, writes in his diary that he has rented a house in the Yorkshire countryside, or New England. After he arrived there, he visits his landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. Heathcliff lives
