  • Dogs In Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights

    802 Words  | 4 Pages

    Early on in the novel, Heathcliff and Catherine snuck over to Thrushcross Grange when they were children to spy on the Linton children. They saw the two fighting over a dog and nearly pulling it apart. This foreshadows that later in the story, there will be a tension between Edgar and Isabella when Isabella goes against Edgar's wishes and marries Heathcliff. In Wuthering Heights, how a visitor will be greeted by the person they are visiting can often be foreshadowed by how the visitor is greeted by the dogs guarding the property (Rena-Dozier 770). When Heathcliff goes to visit Catherine after many years, the dog at Thrushcross Grange greets Heathcliff by wagging its tail at him rather than barking.

For example, Nelly encourages Isabella to renounce her love for Heathcliff. Nelly knows that Edgar would never approve of him as her husband, but Isabella disregards her advice and seals her elopement with Heathcliff anyway. Their marriage provoked the tension that had remained after Catherine 's decision to elope with Edgar rather than Heathcliff. Brontë scholars believe that Nelly is one of the only characters in Wurthering Heights that has the power to "shape the plot" by the fact that she has been a support to a handful of the characters throughout the novel.

  • Theme Of Sickness And Death In Wuthering Heights

    1507 Words  | 7 Pages

    The interesting thing about the novel is that the characters that die usually do so after living relatively short lives. In his article, “Sickness and Health in Wuthering Heights,” Charles Lemon states, “When I last re-read Wuthering Heights, I was struck afresh by the brevity of the lives of most of the characters and by the poor health which they had to endure.” This statement supports the idea that the characters do not live long, healthy lives, but rather brief and sickly ones. The sickness and death starts at the beginning of the novel, and just continues from there. First, we have the illness and death of Mr. Earnshaw, father of Catherine and Hindley Earnshaw, and adopted father of orphaned protagonist Heathcliff.
