I live in Yorkshire and ten minutes out of any town their is beautiful countryside, and you can see wild and ruggerd sencery. Does it say in the book where Heathcliffe made his fortune, or is it left to the imagination, as in the film?
this was really helpful thank you! I was wondering if you had any quotes which support the idea you mentioned of Catherine and Hindley showing humanities dark side?
Hey Sophie-Anne, glad you liked it. Hindley treats Heathcliff abominably: he drives him to the status of servant, stops his education and degrades him at every opportunity. The section with quotes is just after Mr Earnshaw's death. Catherine also treats him badly and probably influences him most but at least she understands him eg "He's not a rough diamond...he's a fierce, pitiless, wolfish man'. Even Hindley's father said he was 'naught' and Ellen notes he only he had two idols, 'his wife and himself'. Good luck with the novel.
Sir, first of all a huge thank you for this amazing video, now i have a serious question that is how does the setting of the new novel, effects the story i mean the setting of Wuthering heights and the grange, had this been in any other part, less secluded, then what would change
Wuthering Heights is contrasted with the Grange to represent the two ways of living. The wild passions of WH are in direct opposition to the studied manners and order of the Grange. Plenty of examples in the text and the contrast impacts Catherine the most.
I wonder if Emily ever envisaged so much being written and analysed about her book?
I doubt it very much. It's a great read without analyzing it to death.
It was a great psychoanalytic analysis and it was also sufficient and efficient.
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for the comment. Best wishes for your studies.
this was really helpful for my A-Level class, thanks!
