    This relationship shows how being with someone you do not love can change your outlook on life. Since she was with Jody for close to 20 years, and only loved him at the beginning of the relationship, to keep this love, she became someone she was not. This means that this portion of the novel’s answer to the central question is that marriage does not mean love, and because of that, it is possible for one of the people in the relationship to lose who they are. This changes the understanding of the novel because readers now see another side to how pretending to have love can make a person change…

    Committed relationships can be mysterious things, acting almost as a third entity that grows and lives around two people. As an outside observer, it can be difficult to understand what makes a relationship thrive or struggle. Due to this mysteriousness, having the opportunity to analyze the relationship of an admired couple can bring a great deal of insight. Recently, I interviewed a couple that I respect and love dearly, my older brother, John Willis, and his wife, Shau Shau Lin Willis. Whenever I question what type of relationship I want or whether a potential partner may be the right person for me, John and Shau Shau’s relationship is an important standard of comparison. This standard of comparison exists because their relationship has…

    Catherine is first referred to in Lockwood’s narration in Chapter III where he encounters her name when he spends a turbulent night at Wuthering Heights. Catherine’s name haunts Lockwood’s sleep as he sees the words ‘Catherine Earnshaw… Catherine Heathcliff… Catherine Linton’ carved numerous times. The haunting quality of Catherine’s name is shown by Bronte’s gothic use of the simile ‘as vivid as spectres’ as these words fill his vision. Lockwood is later confronted by a ghost who sobs the words Catherine Linton as it demands to be let into the house. Indeed this determination to get what she wants is a characteristic of Catherine, which becomes apparent through the remainder of Nelly’s narration as she describes Catherine’s life. This characteristic in particular is a trait that can change the reader’s opinion of Catherine for the worse. However conversely this particular aspect of Catherine’s character can evoke sympathy for her from the reader as it is in part Mr Kenneth’s fault for recommending that ‘she would not bear crossing much; she ought to have her own way’ after her illness in Chapter IX.…

    Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights is the story of two intertwined families from late 18th century England through the beginning of the 19th century. Living on an isolated moor, the families interact almost exclusively with each other, repeatedly intermarrying and moving between the manors Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. The reader hears the story from Lockwood, the tenant of Thrushcross Grange, through the housekeeper, Nelly Dean. After he inquires about Heathcliff, his strange landlord living at nearby Wuthering Heights, Nelly recounts her experiences with the Earnshaws, former owners of Wuthering Heights; the Lintons, former owners of Thrushcross Grange; and Heathcliff, a gypsy urchin adopted by Mr. Earnshaw. Nelly narrates the story inaccurately to downplay her own involvement and responsibility for the tragic events that occur in Wuthering Heights.…

    Their polite, yet complicated relationships are confusing, but without connections of any kind, these characters wouldn’t even be able to live in the same building. As Dr. Dan Siegel said, “Relationships are the defining feature of being human.” Without relationships, humans would be below animals. Wolves, some birds, and even lizards run monogamous lives. They understand, in a way, what love is, and that love is…

    Beginning her description of Heathcliff with the lowly word "degradation", Nelly, the narrator, tells Lockwood how Heathcliff and Catherine (the mother of Cathy) grow more reckless daily without parental guidance. Nelly recalls these events right before Catherine is injured and stays at Thrushcross Grange for five weeks. Nelly also said that Heathcliff and Catherine "promised... to grow up rude as savages." The punishments the two received from Joseph and the Curate, Nelly notes, haven't helped her increase the "small power" she holds over the two, due to the lack of parental guidance. It is also important to note some of the foreshadowing that occurs here: Heathcliff's return alone in the rain foreshadows his demise. His lack of respect for the church also symbolizes his lack of will and later on immense greediness. Bronte's genius shines throughout this passage, mixing savagery, love, symbolism, and foreshadowing all in one page.…

    Emily Bronte’s novel, Wuthering Heights, published in 1847, is one full of deep-seated passion and wicked duplicity that has caused it to remain among the many classics of British Literature. The unconventional interaction between characters teases the reader because the characters often do not arrive at the readers’ anticipated conclusion. This said, characters in Wuthering Heights often lead complicated relationships that inevitably lead to grief or loss of something revered. This loss, typically taking the form of money, property, or a companion, plays a pivotal role in exposing the characters and tends to display their darker sides. However, the characters invariably manage to bounce back, by getting revenge or simply letting go. The character’s grim moods or other feelings often, frequently parallel to their current residence. These characters’ moods often change, evolving to more closely resemble the abode in which they reside; being especially evident in the characters Heathcliff, Catherine, Edgar Linton, and Isabella.…
