W.H. post #1: What do you think?

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?

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?
