Catherine had kept up her acquaintance with the Lintons since her five-weeks' residence among them; and asshe had no temptation to show her rough side in their company, and had the sense to be ashamed of being rudewhere she experienced such invariable courtesy,
She puts on a masks when she is with the Lintons and acts different with them then the way she does with Heathcliff
'"A wicked boy, at all events," remarked the old lady, "and quite unfit for a decent house! Did you notice hislanguage, Linton? I'm shocked that my children should have heard it."'I recommenced cursing - don't be angry, Nelly - and so Robert was ordered to take me off. I refused to gowithout Cathy; he dragged me into the garden, pushed the lantern into my hand, assured me that Mr.Earnshaw should be informed of my behaviour, and, bidding me march directly, secured the door again. Thecurtains were still looped up at one corner, and I resumed my station as spy; because, if Catherine had wishedto return, I intended shattering their great glass panes to a million of fragments, unless they let her out. She saton the sofa quietly. Mrs. Linton took off the grey cloak of the dairy-maid which we had borrowed for ourexcursion, shaking her head and expostulating with her, I suppose: she was a young lady, and they made adistinction between her treatment and mine. Then the woman-servant brought a basin of warm water, andwashed her feet; and Mr. Linton mixed a tumbler of negus, and Isabella emptied a plateful of cakes into herlap, and Edgar stood gaping at a distance. Afterwards, they dried and combed her beautiful hair, and gave hera pair of enormous slippers, and wheeled her to the fire; and I left her, as merry as she could be, dividing herfood between the little dog and Skulker, whose nose she pinched as he ate;
Hindley forced Heathcliff into a lower, classThe Lintons are very judgemental, being from a higher class, and careful to keep out anyone of a lower class. After realizing that Catherine was from a high status they insisted on her staying.
He got on to the bed, and wrenched open the lattice, bursting, as he pulled at it, into an uncontrollablepassion of tears. 'Come in! come in!' he sobbed. 'Cathy, do come. Oh, do - ONCE more! Oh! my heart'sdarling! hear me THIS time, Catherine, at last!'
Shows how much Heathcliff cares for Catherine. Catherine is connected to the outside/the house itself. Described when Heathcliff throws open the window in order beg Catherine to return.
To my confusion, I discovered the yell wasnot ideal: hasty footsteps approached my chamber door; somebody pushed it open, with a vigorous hand, anda light glimmered through the squares at the top of the bed. I sat shuddering yet, and wiping the perspirationfrom my forehead: the intruder appeared to hesitate, and muttered to himself. At last, he said, in ahalf-whisper, plainly not expecting an answer, 'Is any one here?' I considered it best to confess my presence;for I knew Heathcliff's accents, and feared he might search further, if I kept quiet. With this intention, I turnedand opened the panels. I shall not soon forget the effect my action produced.
Lockwood slept in the mysterious, forbidden room. Where he dreams of Catherine Linton. Heathcliff's response to the dreamlike he wanted to see Catherine.
I hope it will be a lesson to you to make no more rash journeys on these hills,' cried Heathcliff's stern voic
Lockwood can not handle the environment within Wuthering Heights nor the storm trying to leave. Ends up staying at the manor.
'My amiable lady!' he interrupted, with an almost diabolical sneer on his face. 'Where is she - my amiablelady?''Mrs. Heathcliff, your wife, I mean.''Well, yes - oh, you would intimate that her spirit has taken the post of ministering angel, and guards thefortunes of Wuthering Heights, even when her body is gone. Is that it?'Perceiving myself in a blunder, I attempted to correct it. I might have seen there was too great a disparitybetween the ages of the parties to make it likely that they were man and wife. One was about forty: a period ofmental vigour at which men seldom cherish the delusion of being married for love by girls: that dream isreserved for the solace of our declining years. The other did not look seventeen
Lockwood learns that the woman, who he thought was Heathcliff's wife, is Heathcliff's daughter-in-law and that the rough man, who Lockwood thought was Heathcliff's son is actually his nephew.
when a young man without coat,and shouldering a pitchfork, appeared in the yard behind. He hailed me to follow him, and, after marchingthrough a wash-house, and a paved area containing a coal-shed, pump, and pigeon-cot, we at length arrived inthe huge, warm, cheerful apartment where I was formerly received. It glowed delightfully in the radiance ofan immense fire, compounded of coal, peat, and wood; and near the table, laid for a plentiful evening meal, Iwas pleased to observe the 'missis,' an individual whose existence I had never previously suspected. I bowedand waited, thinking she would bid me take a seat. She looked at me, leaning back in her chair, and remainedmotionless and mute.
Shows the comparison between the social classes. Lockwood encounters to type of people a high-class woman and a lower class man.
the architect hadforesight to build it strong: the narrow windows are deeply set in the wall, and the corners defended with largejutting stones.Before passing the threshold, I paused to admire a quantity of grotesque carving lavished over the front, andespecially about the principal door; above which, among a wilderness of crumbling griffins and shamelesslittle boys, I detected the date '1500,' and the name 'Hareton Earnshaw.'
Lockwood admired the old house. Describing it as strong and sturdy. Noticing the details such as the grotesque carvings around the front door.
But Mr. Heathcliffforms a singular contrast to his abode and style of living. He is a dark- skinned gipsy in aspect, in dress andmanners a gentleman: that is, as much a gentleman as many a country squire
Mr. Lockwood describes his landlord, as a noble yet "dark-skinned gypsy." Using very descriptive words to give the readers a visual of what he looks like.
