Ponderings on Heathcliff
Ok, so Lestat has been put on the back burner lately because I have just started reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Thus, I am going to delve into the world of Heathcliff and Catherine. The set-up of the book wasn't exactly what I had expected it to be; especially the narration. Rather than being from the point of veiw of either Heathcliff or Catherine, the book is from the point of veiw of one Mr. Lockwood (after seeing this name I immediately thought of Lowood, from Jane Eyre). There are also parts of the book where the housekeeper from Thrushcross Grange tells of her life at Wuthering Heights. I have yet to decide who is my favorite character in the book; although I do kind of like Heathcliff. Maybe it's the anger that he displays at life, or it's the fact that he is pushed aside while Catherine is placed in the spotlight. I kind of feel bad for him...just let him know.
