Nelly dean

might be questioning if Catherine actually loves Edgar or whether she loves the attention that he gives her and only using her illness as emotional blackmail. Brontë emphasises this point when Edgar does not visit Catherine or ask after her, and Nelly Dean finds her “dashing her head against the arm of the sofa, and grinding her teeth…” (pg.126) This suggests that Catherine’s

presents her characters in pairs. This could either be through the use of a foil, the two part nature of couples, or the natural division of human nature. “The key figures, moreover - Cathy and Isabella, Heathcliff and Edgar, Linton and Hareton, and Nelly and Lockwood - are drawn in sharp contrast to one another” (Berlinger 186). Heathcliff and Edgar are most certainly foils. The first was picked up on the street by a wealthy man who brought Heathcliff home and raised him as his son. The second was

“But poor Hareton, the most wronged, was the only one who truly suffered,” (page 315 in Wuthering Heights) Nelly Dean states as her reaction to Heathcliff’s demise, showing that Hareton was able to show sympathy for Heathcliff when he died. It is not until the ending that the story of Hareton finally gets the prize he truly deserved. Heathcliff’s death symbolizes

Lockwood in chapter seven Nelly finishes by declaring, “I have read more than you would fancy, Mr. Lockwood. You could not open a book in this library that I have not looked into, and got something out of also… However, if I am to follow my story in true gossip’s fashion, I had better go on,” (Bronte 56). Bronte’s decision to add this detail to Nelly’s character emphasizes her action to tell the story in “true gossip’s fashion.” Further, the scene also suggests that Nelly enjoys stories, and therefore

In her novel Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë uses a formal style of writing to portray the language of those used during the early 1800s. Throughout the majority of the novel, Nelly Dean is telling the story of how Wuthering Heights came to be the place that it currently is. Throughout Dean’s narration, characters are voiced differently due to their role in society. An example of this is shown when Brontë would use fragments of words to represent the speech of Hareton, one of the servants of Wuthering

The thing that makes Nelly meet the criteria as an proficient narrator is her quality as a close friend. Nelly always listened to everybody, and I have a feeling that she wanted to know. Like when Catherine asked her to keep a secret ; Nelly asked if it was worth keeping . She could've walked away and said no, but she sat there and talked about it. If Nelly wasn't the confidant to them all, we wouldn't have known what Heathcliff did on the night that Catherine was buried, what he did to Catherine's

The death of Catherine, Edgars wife, Heathcliff’s true love, Nelly’s employer, and little Cathy’s mother, is what sent the novel into the kind of drama no one can resist. As like with any death, everyone in the novel including Edgar, Heathcliff, and Nelly, all had a different reaction to the death of Catherine, some clearly worse than others. Death is a complex and funny

Nelly Dean is not a very trustworthy character and readers may be drawn to see the unwinding of her unfaithfulness. The Game of Thrones contains several promiscuous characters. The Queen, Cersei, is a character who may be unreliable and especially untrustworthy

the second one from Chapter 20, “‘Hallo, Nelly!’ cried Mr Hethcliff, when he saw me. […] und what wer gooid enough fur him’s gooid enough fur yah, Aw’s rather think!’“ (Brontë, P. 150 – 152). Both times, the protagonist Heathcliff plays an important role in the presented violence. However, it is a contrasting role in each of the passages. Additional to that, the theme of violence in the two extracts is executed primarily in the form of verbal

orphan (Heathcliff). His daughter Catherine took to Heathcliff, as did Mr. Earnshaw, but Hindley hated the boy and tortured him. Heathcliff had to be hard and insensible in order to cope with Hindley’s abuses. Nelly Dean repeatedly describes Heathcliff as “sullen.” 14. Nelly Dean is deceived completely in believing that Heathcliff was not vindictive. Chapter 5/6 15. Catherine Earnshaw is rebellious, free-spirited, and mischievous. Mr. Earnshaw is disappointed in Catherine and tells her
