Victorian---Wuthering Heights

##1----Imagery

The first thing I noticed about this book was how descriptive it was. I liked how it described Heathcliff on page 11, "a dark skinned gypsy in aspect, in dress and manners a gentleman." Its so true and it slowly reveals that as the story progresses and Lockwood is with Heathcliff. As far as the scenary goes, it does an awesome job at providing the explanation towards Wuthering Heights as wells as everything else. He describes it as, "This is certainly a beautiful country!  In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society. A perfect misanthropist's heaven: and Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us." I like that, "a perfect...." I could picture everything that Lockwood and the others described.

  1. You were also very descriptive in your post which gives me a better understanding about this book. I agree it is filled with lots of imagery, as well as emotions and drama. Great job!!
