Right now I am reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. The characters that have been introduced in the novel are Lockwood, Heathcliff, Catherine, Joseph, and Hareton Earnshaw. At the start of the novel, Lockwood, who is visiting Heathcliff at Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff is very unwelcoming and very rude to him.(Bronte 3) He leaves Lockwood alone in a room with a female dog with puppies. The dogs attack Lockwood because they feel threatened. Lockwood meets a man named Hareton, who is Catherine’s nephew that lives with Heathcliff. He took custody over Hareton once Hindley passed away. When he was trying to leave to go home, he meets a man named Joseph. Joseph is an elderly servant at Wuthering Heights who is stubborn and talks with a thick Yorkshire accent. Lockwood has to stay at Wuthering Heights because it has started to snow and would not be able to find his way home. One of the servants shows him to a room that is forbidden by Heathcliff. While staying in the room for the night, Lockwood comes across a diary of a girl named Catherine. Catherine is Heathcliff’s young childhood lover who is no longer around. Lockwood is able to leave in the morning and return to his home.
