Nelly

assert that some of the strangeness in her book disappears if we consider that she-like Blake-was a "mystic."” Wuthering Heights was a so called ‘romance’ novel that was much aligned with societal norms of its time. Nelly narrates as Lockwood “chooses to continue the story "in Nelly 's own words, only a little condensed,"” which was not seen as much in novels of that time. Not having a true narrator can cause accuracy problems, but that was just another aspect of the novel. The Examiner wrote…

"Bang!" "Bang!" The sound of the cowpuncher's revolver rang out, along with the sheriff, Henry. The cool autumn air was filled with sounds of gunfire and the loud barks of Remy, Nelly's faithful dog and companion. "No, get back!" she screamed. "Put your weapon down, son. We've gotcha now, and there's nothing else you can do, 'cept turn yourself in," said Henry. The young man, Joe, stood with his revolver pointed straight at the face of Sheriff Henry. Panting and angry, he spit out…

own will, diminishing their power over others. One servant, Nelly, does not abide by typical servile expectations. Nelly is very influential throughout the novel and holds an unusual amount of power over other characters. She knows everything about her masters and often counsels them in their decisions. Because of her strong influence, it makes sense that Lockwood “could not open a book… that [Nelly has] not looked into” (58; ch.7). Nelly may be a servant, but she possess a large amount of power…

in love with him thanks to her fascination with the Heathcliff’s richly endowed Byronic qualities. Heathcliff, even though he despised her, married her as a mean of revenge. Moreover, he kept Cathy, the only daughter of his beloved Catherine, and Nelly at the Wuthering Heights until he successfully forced Cathy to agree to get married with his son Linton (who suffered from weakness, sickness and was likely to die soon) to become a landowner of not only Wuthering Heights but also Thrushcross…

"Thou shalt not kill but needs not strive, officiously, to keep another alive." An offence cannot be committed without carrying out an action. An offence is not sitting in a room opinionating the most evil of contemplations and conjuring up the most atrocious plans. Well, if monstrous plans were constituted to be criminal offences the prisons would pack with offenders. An act is not enough to be liable for a crime; a voluntary act is also required. Lord Denning explained: ‘the requirement that…

In two classic examples of Victorian era literature, Wuthering Heights and North and South, the theme of isolation has been particularly prevalent. Not only are the settings of each novel physically secluded, but the characters themselves have been inwardly isolated. In North & South, Margaret Hale’s father’s sudden decision to leave the Church prompted her move to the industrial North, making Margaret alone in her opinions and her way of living. Wuthering Heights, on the other hand, has an…

house called Thrushcross Grange. Here, he meets Heathcliff, a man who lives in the Wuthering Heights. In this stormy house, Lockwood’s curiosity takes him to ask Nelly, the housekeeper, the story of Heathcliff and the strange events of Whutering Heights. Nelly begins the story and Lockwood takes notes in his diary. To start with, Nelly, as a young woman, starts to work as a servant in Wuthering Heights for Mr. Earnshaw and his family. One day, Mr Earnshaw returns from Liverpool with an orphan…

“the infatuated girl” (Brontë 127). Furthermore, despite being warned by Catherine and Nelly who know Heathcliff's nature, and knowing scarcely anything about Heathcliff, Isabella defends him, “Mr. Heathcliff is not a fiend: he has an honourable soul, and a true one” (Brontë 128). Catherine describes Heathcliff to Isabella as fierce and pitiless, stating he would only marry for Isabella’s fortune (Brontë 127). Nelly even directs Isabella's attention to the strange unexplained fortune Heathcliff…

Edgar. Although Catherine knew all along that Heathcliff was her only true love, she married Edgar because of his social status and wealth. A notable part of this book describes when Catherine spoke to Nelly about her marriage to Edgar. This line is very telling of these social pressures. She says to Nelly that "he will be rich, and I shall like to be the greatest woman of the neighborhood, and I shall be proud of having such a husband." (Brontë). Instead of focusing on her love of Edgar, she…

compliant and cooperative with all the treatment recommendations. She continues to be socially isolated, but she is more active at this point in time than she has been in the past. It was recommended that she continue under psychotherapeutic care of Nelly Saucedo, LCSW. She continues on Xanax 0.25 mg and Melatonin. Her next psychiatric appointment will be in 6 weeks. The patient remains…
