Write an essay (approx.) 1200 words (5 typed pages) long on ONE of the following
topics. Be sure to narrow your topic to a manageable scope- in other words, deal
with a limited range of material, to organize your essay- including a strong thesis
sentence, an introduction and a conclusion, to cite references according to MLA
style, and to proofread your essay for errors in grammar and in style. Be concrete
and specific. There must be a title page- do not include this page in your final count
of pages. Footnotes and a Works Cited page are required even if the reference is
only to the primary text. This is NOT a research paper, so if you use secondary
sources, use them judiciously.
1. Compare the “voice” of two characters in Wuthering Heights. Discuss with
reference to tone, diction, recurrent patterns of speech.
2. The two houses, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange are
comprehensively contrasted to one another throughout the text. Discuss the role of
these houses in relation to both theme and characterization.
3. There are multiple narrators, some more reliable than others in Wuthering
Heights. Discuss with reference to whether or not, given these numerous narrators,
there is a center of consciousness, that is, one narrative angle in the text.
Wuthering Heights: Part One
A. Narrative Voices:
- shifting narrative voices/perspectives
- use of multiple narrators- six narrators, all of whom are unreliable to one extent or another
- twonarrators- Lockwood and Nelly Dean appear complementary in that both are opinionated, but not
always reliable- the difficulty of first-person narration - the frame of the narrative revolves around Lockwood’s and Mrs. Dean’s recollections
- there are other narrative voices- for example, reported speech from other characters including
Heathcliff, Isabella, Zillah as well as Catherine’s written comments and Isabella’s letter to Nelly
- LOCKWOOD: – Lockwood suffers from a profound lack of self-knowledge- in that, he projects his own
beliefs/views onto other characters as when he describes Heathcliff as a “ capital fellow” upon first
meeting him and when he misjudges the relationships among Heathcliff, Hareton, and Catherine upon
his first meeting with them – further, he tells the reader enough about himself in the first pages of the
text to make the reader question his perceptions/opinions
