WHAT IS
YOUR
BIGGEST
FLAW?
Contestant 1
"I cannot say why I felt so wildly
wretched: it must have been temporary
derangement for there is scarcely a
cause- but supposing at twelve years old,
I had been wrenched from the Heights
and every early association, and my all in
all, as Heathcliff was at the time... an
exile and outcast, thenceforth, from what
had been my world“ (115).
Contestant 2
“‘I certainly esteem myself a
steady, reasonable kind of
body’” (56).
Contestant 3
“Earnshaw had mortgaged
every yard of land he owned,
for cash to supply his mania
for gaming” (172).

Contestant 2
“How life will be changed,
how dreary the world will be,
when papa and you are
dead” (212).
Contestant 3
“For himself, he grew desperate:
his sorrow was of that kind that
will not lament. He neither wept,
nor prayed; he cursed and
defied; execrated God and
man, and gave himself up to
reckless dissipation” (58).
Contestant 4
“"If all else perished, and he
remained, I should still continue
to be; and if all else remained,
and he were annihilated, the
universe would turn to a mighty
stranger: I should not seem a
part of it“ (74).
WHERE IS THE
ONE PLACE YOU
WOULD CALL
HOME?
Contestant 1
"It is not so buried in the trees
and it is not quite so large but
you can see the country
beautifully all round; and the
air is healthier for you-fresher
and dryer” (188).
Contestant 2
“‘I have undergone sharp discipline,
which has taught me wisdom: and
then I have read more than you
would fancy, Mr. Lockwood. You
could not open a book in this library
that I have not looked into, and got
something out of also: unless it be
that range of Greek and Latin, and
that of French’” (56).

“Mr. Linton had put on her
pillow, in the morning, a
handful of golden crocuses…
‘These are the earliest flowers
at the Heights,’ she
exclaimed. ‘They remind me
of soft thaw winds, and warm
sunshine’” (123).
WHAT IS ONE
EVENT THAT
HAS SHAPED
YOUR LIFE?
Contestant 1
"Fortunately, its mother died
before the time arrived some
thirteen years later after the
decease of Catherine when
Linton was 12 or a little more“
(168).
Contestant 2
“‘I’m very far from jesting, Miss
Catherine,’ I replied. ‘You love Mr.
Edgar, because he is handsome, and
young, and cheerful, and rich, and
loves you. The last, however, goes for
nothing: you would love him without
that, probably; and with it you wouldn’t
unless he possessed the four former
attractions’” (71).
Contestant 3
“But the doctor says the missis
must go: he says she’s been in
a consumption these many
months.” (57)
Contestant 4
“I believe here new abode
was in the south, near London;
there she had a son born, a
few months subsequent to her
escape. He was christened
Linton, and, from the first, she
reported him to be an ailing,
peevish creature” (167).

people’s sensitivity and appreciation of nature

ideal location for their stories because it improved
the emotional impact of the story, the setting
being a heightened and stimulating location

featured Moorlands. For example:
-Wuthering Heights—Emily Bronte (Yorkshire) (where the Bronte
family is from)

DISCUSSION QUESTION
Why do you think the characters
of Wuthering Heights tend to be
very similar to Emily Bronte and
her family members? Do you think
authors tend to write about what
they know, and that's why it is all
very similar, or could there be
another reason?
