Wuthering Heights

The focus of the dark and suspenseful story,Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte, is Heathcliff and his different manners and attitudes. It begins with John Lockwood renting a property. Then finds out that there is a ghost which is named Catherine and was Heathcliff’s lover. Lockwood then learns all of Heathcliff’s past by someone named Nelly Dean who heard if from someone else. But Lockwood doesn’t just learn about Heathcliff he then also learns about the people at Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights.
