Summary Of Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte :: essays research papers

The herd of possessed swine could have no worse spirits in them then those animals of yours, sir (7) How could enjoiners of Emily Brontes Wuthering Heights not express mirth at this excerpt? I found the book exciting as well as awful to read. It was so difficult and hard to read, notwithstanding in the end was worth it. The characters were the ones that made it so enjoyable to read but made it also overly complicated. However, all of them were fun to ? array to know?. My favorite is Catherine. She is bratty, spoiled and hopelessly selfish. I love to loathe her. Then again, I also have pity on her. The cabal of her up bringing, with her personality has caused her to be like this. Take for example the tenableness she marries Edgar. She says ?And he will be rich and I shall like to be the greatest woman of the neighborhood, and I shall be proud of having such a husband.? (78). It is as if she cannot watch over anything but what is best for herself. Nelly talks to her, and tries to get her to see her selfishness. Even there my point is proven. Nelly hates Catherine, even though she has the negative feelings toward her mistress, she even can see what Catherine is doing wrong, and instead of letting Catherine go on, she tells her. Catherine is so clad up in herself. It is pretty annoying to read rough her because she is so conceded. One of the things she says is ?But I begin to fancy you dont like me. How grotesque I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not vacate loving me.? (120) I cannot even understand how someone could think that about himself or herself Catherine is so stuck up Nelly is a weird character in this book. She seems to be the mother, especially to Catherine. One of the things I like most about her is the fact she is not stupid, she understands people, but does not abuse it. Then again, she is too smart to be a maid. It really seems like she is educated. My favorite quote she says is ?I went about my hous ehold duties, convinced that the Grange had but one level-headed soul in its walls, and that lodged in my body.? (119) I suppose the reason I think she is so motherly is because she is a lot like my mother, a little cheeky, knows how to control people younger than she is, smart, and can clean well.
