in Gateshead for eight years. My work deals specifically with the minds of women that object to standards of society, and through a rehabilitation program, I prepare them for proper society’s standards and expectations. In the case of Mrs. Ellen Nelly Dean, I was asked to give my special attention to the patient by Mrs. Cathy Earnshaw who implored me to make my quarters at her residence near Gimmerton for an accurate diagnosis. Upon my arrival to her home at Wuthering Heights, I took special notice

and became most popular after her death 1848. The novel basis itself off of many forms of narration, which can in turn become intriguing or confusing. It is agreeable that there are two representative narrators in Wuthering Heights; however, both Nelly Dean and Lockwood give there own opinions of interest to the story, which creates for the audience a highly biased account of the story and its characters. Nelly’s role is to be Lockwood’s inside source of information and in doing so, she tells her

from a handsome black pony a very dignified person, with brown ringlets falling from the cover of a feathered beaver, and a long cloth habit, which she was obliged to hold up with both hands that she might sail in." (Brontë 101). When she talks to Nelly about why she is forsaking Heathcliff to marry Linton, she points out that "he is rich, and I shall like to be the greatest woman of the neighborhood, and I shall be proud of having such a husband"

animalistic terms or associated to nature. Catherine describes him like a “wolfish man”, and Nelly narrates how he “howled, not like a man, but like a savage beast being goaded to death with knives and spears. I observed several splashes of blood about the bark of the tree, and his hand and forehead were both stained” (155) the night Catherine dies. Even in his darkest moments he is so passionate that Nelly does not consider him fully human because he reacts so violently that it’s not possible to consider

The plot surrounding Wuthering Heights is based in England. A man named Lockwood rents a manor house in an isolated part of England. Lockwood asks the house keeper Nelly Dean to tell him Heathcliff’s story. It important to note this part of the story because the tale that Nelly tells Lockwood will become the story line for Wuthering Heights. In the tale the Earnshaw children do not like Heathcliff because of his dark skin. When the father of the children die Earnshaw’s son Hindley inherits Wuthering

hatred filled character to one who talks poetically about love and loss for Cathy (even though this may only occur on one occasion). This extract almost completes the character of Heathcliff. We have seen Heathcliff through the eyes of Lockwood, Nelly, and now his own. However, more importantly, we sympathize with him because Brontë has somehow built a character that takes every emotion to new extremes. He can be so full of anger that we would go as far as ‘smashing Hareton’s skull into the

slightly different information and tools to portray the subject. In the novel WH, Catherine enters the room and appears to be disturbed and anxious. Catherine tells Nelly how Edgar Linton asked her to marry him, but she is looking to Nelly for what the right answer may be. She finally comes out and tells Nelly that she has accepted him. Nelly proceeds to ask Catherine why she loves Edgar, Catherine 's response is because he is handsome, pleasant to be with, young and cheerful, and because he loves me

influential factor is the narrative. The main narrative consists of Nelly Dean – the house keeper. When the ‘dirty ragged, black-haired child’ just arrived at Wuthering Heights, she was the only character that took to Heathcliff. When, in chapter 7, Cathy returns from her vacation at Thrushcross Grange, she jokingly calls Heathcliff ‘dirty’. Hurt by these comments, and Cathy’s ‘new look’, Heathcliff hides himself away. When Nelly goes to comfort Heathcliff, it is her speculation about his past that

Lockwood writes most of the narrative in Nelly’s voice, describing how Nelly had told it to him. The narration focuses on what Nelly saw, heard, or what she had found out about indirectly. Nelly’s shares comments on what the other characters think and feel and what motivates them. These comments are based on her own interpretation on these characters, not on what those characters told her directly. Nelly is not only a narrator of the story, but she participates in events she tells Lockwood

In chapter 27, Edgar’s health continues to deteriorate and he lay on his deathbed leading Cathy and Mrs. Dean to pay a visit to Linton at Wuthering Heights. This quote is said in response to Cathy, who fights with Heathcliff after she realizes that he has the imprisoned her and Nelly both inside his home, with a plan to not release her until after she and Linton are married. After Cathy is locked inside, Linton reveals to her Heathcliff's plans, and the readers feel a sense of inescapable doom start
