How does Emily Bronte convey the relationship of Catherine and Heathcliff throughout chapters 4-9?
In this essay I will talk about how Emily Bronte conveys the relationship of Catherine and Heathcliffe through chapter 4-9 of the Wuthering Heights novel. How Catherine and Heathcliffe gradually get closer and depend on each other as the day’s goes on.
When Catherine and Heathcliff first meet it is when he father arrives back from a business trip in Liverpool. Mr Earnsure bought back a small dark little orphan which the family named Heathcliff. Emily Bronte in the novel only gives the boy one name which is Heathcliff, with one name Heathcliff could not inherit any of the property and such and was always known more of an outsider as he didn’t have the family name . This to me makes him more of a servant to the family not an adopted child. Everybody in the Earnsure house except Catherine and Mr Earnsure as well as Nelly even though she didn’t know why she her father had grew fond of a sullen child didn’t like Heathcliff especially Hindley as his father had started to grow more love for Heathcliff than his own son,
