Wuthering Heights: Question 1

Emily Bronte reveals a lot about herself in the pages of Wuthering Heights. Her values and attitudes are made clear to her readers. For instance in the beginning it shows a great amount of mistreatment to Heathcliff. This shows that the problem of mistreatment of children is probably held pretty high in her opinion. Heathcliff is not the only one mistreated though. He soon becomes the tyrant mistreating others, such as his nephew, Hareton, and his own son, Linton. From reading Wuthering Heights, one is lead to believe Bronte values love. Her view of it is a bit twisted but she still values it. For example, Heathcliff is some gypsy boy that Catherine's dad picks up off the street, and back then gypsy's were heavily discriminated against, and Catherine is an educated, sophisticated, girl born to high class parents. Yet Bronte sees fit to throw them together and have them fall in love. But then *plot twist!* she has Catherine marry another! Poor Heathcliff disappears for a few years and then comes back! And they are reunited again! Here's were Bronte appears twisted most. She takes Catherine away from Heathcliff permanently! Wuthering Heights main narrator is Lockwood, a gentleman renting out Thrushcross Grange from Heathcliff, but Nelly generally has the spotlight in order to tell Lockwood the story. It flits from a few others as well, such as Isabella Linton Heathcliff and Zillah, a servant. All of them tell from first person point of view.
