CostasNarrativeXP 2026 February feature "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë Published in November, 1847 Project Gutenberg Ebook edition A wronged outsider, Heathcliff, dedicates his life to avenging a childhood humiliation and lost love, only to see his obsessive cruelty poison two generations before it finally burns itself out. Chapter 1-3 00:30 1 In 1801, Lockwood visits Wuthering Heights, meets the aloof Heathcliff, is attacked by dogs, scolded instead of pitied, and despite the hostility, decides to return the next day. 13:04 2 Lockwood returns through a snowstorm, is treated with hostility by the household, attacked again by dogs when trying to leave, and is ultimately forced to stay the night at Wuthering Heights. 33:11 3 Lockwood sleeps in a forbidden room, dreams of Catherine’s ghost, sees Heathcliff’s desperate grief for her, and struggles back through the snow to Thrushcross Grange. Characters Heathcliff - A mistreated orphan rises from humiliation to power, driven by an all-consuming attachment that shapes his life and disrupts two families across generations on the isolated Yorkshire moors. Catherine Linton - spirited and strong-willed, is the daughter of Catherine and Edgar Linton, curious about the world beyond Thrushcross Grange, and forms complex relationships with her cousins and household. Hareton Earnshaw - son of Hindley, grows up at Wuthering Heights with limited education, influenced by both Nelly and Heathcliff, and develops a complex connection with his cousin Cathy. Catherine Earnshaw - wild and passionate from childhood, shapes the lives of those around her, her personality and choices driving much of the novel’s first-generation story.
