NOTE: No questions this time, though we'll have an in-class response question when you arrive. Read as much as you can, and as you read, consider whether Nelly is the true ‘villain’ behind the plot of Wuthering Heights. This is not to say that either Heathcliff or
Catherine are ‘good,’ since they might be quite amoral or villainous in their
own right. However, can we argue that Nelly
creates the tragedy for many of the characters in Chapters 12-17? Even if you don’t completely agree with this,
where might you see Nelly acting behind the scenes, or willfully misleading the
characters and/or the reader?
Happy reading! :)
