Wuthering Heights: Question 7

Sooo I definitely missed that there was another page to the letter on the website and thought that there was only six questions for the novels. Well there's eight, of course you already know that though. Here goes though. In Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte uses a few different techniques to engage readers and make them want to read on. One that she used was mystery. The entire novel, readers are always left to guess what's going to happen to next. I know that I had a tendency to wrong. Heathcliff is a constant mystery as well. First off, we have a very vague idea were he came from. They simply describe him as the dark-skinned gypsy boy from Liverpool. We just know he was starving and homeless and Mr. Earnshaw picked him up and took him home. Next, he disappears for a few years after he over hears Catherine saying it would degrade her to marry him. They never really explain were he goes off to, probably because no one but he knows. Readers are left to fill in the blanks with their own imagination. Another technique she used to suck people in and grab their attention was love. Everybody loves a good romance, just admit it, and Bronte offers an interesting one. Her view on love appears a little twisted in Wuthering Heights. First, she has Catherine, a sophisticated upper class lady, fall in love with Heathcliff, the feisty gypsy boy whose original whereabouts are never really confirmed. Next she doesn't even have them married. Nope. She goes all typical on us for a second and Catherine marries somebody of like class. It doesn't stay typical for long, though. Then Heathcliff returns from where ever the mans been and starts up his twisted relationship back up with the already married Catherine. A relationship I'm not even sure the two understand themselves.... Next Catherine just goes and dies! Will it ever end...
