Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights also play a strong role in the story that Nellie Dean (and others) are unfolding to Lockwood. What makes these two homes so different? How do these two homes aid in the storytelling process?
Dear Blog members.. I feel as though I am failing you all by not enlightening you with my comments on the literary piece before you. I had ordered my copy online and it has yet to arrive. I promise when it does I will speed read until I am caught up. I have no plans for the holiday weekend except to read!!..Please forgive me and don't categorize me with Todd as one of those who is not reading the book
Shana--that was close--we were almost lumping you together with Todd and possibly Ross.
Wuthering Heights is cold and dark and lacks any sort of a gentle or feminine touch. It is filled with dark shabby rooms and old furniture that has been neglected and abused. The people behave barbaricly and even the animals there are cruel. Wuthering Heights, to me, is very cave-like.
The Grange, on the other hand, always seems very friendly. The windows are open, the fire is lit, the servants are polite and the people, except for Catherine, behave like civilized people.
I think the difference in the two estates serves as a further contrast of the character of Earnshaws and the Lintons. It's not that the Lintons appear to live like royalty and the Earnshaw's like poppers--it's that the Lintons live like civilized people with the Earnshaw live like animals!
I hope I never have to live at Wuthering Heights...
