Wuthering Heights

The end of this novel shows a new beginning for this family. Wutheirng Heights and the Thrushcross Grange seem they are going to be reunited, but this time they're there with happiness. It no longer is a sad place when someone mourns everynight. Hareton and Catherine seem to have the best of their parents brought into one, now together.

Wuthering Heights

I think it's cool how not only can Heathcliff look forward to finally being able to be with Catherine, the young Catherine is looking forward to her life with Heathcliff. Hareton seems to be the right one for Catherine to be with and a Catherine is finally marrying a person they are happy with, making up for what her mother should have done. "Hareton" is carved in the entrance of the house, just anther sign Hareton was meant to take over the estate.

Wuthering Heights

I just finished reading the novel, and overall it was a good book. I liked that it was a love story since that is my favorite type of story. I'm not sure that the story had a climax. It just kind of went into the falling action. Also, it didn't have a real happy ending like most romance novels, the "happy ending" was only achieved with a death.

Wuthering Heights

Chapters 34
After hearing that people have seen Heathcliff's ghost with another, I know he is reunited back with Catherine. Although it's sad that he died, I know that's what needed to be done throughout the whole book. They can finally be together and that is all Heathcliff ever wanted. Also, now Catherine can marry Hareton on her own free will.

Wuthering Heights

Chapters 32 - 33
I'm wondering why Heathcliff no longer wants to carry out the revenge in Hareton and Catherine just because Catherine reminds him of her mother. I'm thinking it's because he loved Catherine so much he could never do anything to hurt her so now he's going to do the same for her daughter but I'm not sure if I'm right. I'm guessing Catherine and Hareton will get married.

Wuthering Heights

Chapters 30 - 31
I'm wondeirng if the whole reason that Nelly told Lockwood the story was so that he would fall in love with Catherine. Catherine and her mother are very similar, yet Nelly describes the daughter so much better. Earlier, Nelly even said that Lockwood might fall in love with Catherine himself. Lockwood even begins thinking about Catherine leaving Wuthering Heights with him.

Wuthering Heights

Chapters 28 - 29
I liked how the author had Edgar die believing that his daughter happily married Linton on her own free will and he knew nothing about Catherine and Linton being locked in a room and forced to marry. It's cute how after all these years, Heathcliff is still in love with Catherine and says when he dies they will be together in the Earth. They should have been together from the beginning.

Wuthering Heights

Chapters 26 - 27
Why is Heathcliff making such a big deal for Linton to marry Catherine, after all, they are cousins. I feel like he is seeing this as the chance he had with his Catherine and he doesn't want Linton to have the same life as he had. But Linton should be the one to make the last decision. It's weird how both Linton and Edgar are sick.

Wuthering Heights

Chapters 24 - 25
I wonder if Lockwood really will fall in love with Catherine, also, if Lockwood is such a stranger, why is Nelly so open with him. She basically tells him everything about the history of the place. I'm wondering why so many people in the novel get sick and are close to death and die, and if these deaths have a significance in the novel.

Wuthering Heights

Chapters 17 - 23
Why would Heathcliff want Catherine to marry his son if they're cousins? Why doesn't Catherine want Nelly and her dad to know she's going to go see Linton, she should of just stayed with him when he asked her to nurse her back to health. All the characters in the novel are still confusing me but it's beginning to make more sense.

Wuthering Heights

Chapters 16 - 20
I notcied something about a theme with two. Catherine loves two guys, Heathcliff and Edgar. There's the Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, Earnshaws and Lintons, the novel is based on them when they're older and when they're younger. There might be twos to be used as juxtapositiotns, but I'm not sure.
