What do you think about this section of Wuthering Heights (ch. 11-24)? What's interesting? Confusing? Annoying?

W.H. post #2: Catherine- past, present, future

On pages 121-122 we see the inner-workings and distortions of Catherine's mind in a new way. What do you find interesting?

W.H. post #3: sick

So many of the characters suffer from illness during chapters 11-24. Why do you believe Bronte includes so much illness? How does illness "function" in novel's plot and character development? What does illness indicate about characters?

W.H. post #4: Symbols

This section of the novel (look at chapter 16 as a starting point) is filled with symbolism. What are some significant symbols and how do they enhance the novel?

W.H. post #5: Pointed spear at both ends?

On page 169 Isabella says to Hindley, "treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends-- they wound those who resort to them , worse than their enemies". Is this true in the context of the novel? How or how not?

W.H. post #6: The Next Generation

At the end of this section the next generation of Lintons, Earnshaws, and Heathcliffs are in their teens and early twenties. What do you find interesting about these characters, how they are similar to and different from the previous generation, and how they interact?
