Time to think about this...

Ok, so now that I finished reading chapter 7, I'm thinking that Heathcliff really isn't the best person out there, what with being stubborn and having the most pride in the world. I mean, he doesn't go and talk to Cathy just because he wants to prove he didn't care that she changed and is better with manners than him. She's wearing beautiful dresses and he's dirty and in rags, with dark skin and ridiculed by all the people around him. He seems really depressed, but at least he tried to mend what he did by trying to talk with her and act dignified (which failed miserably after he threw wine in the Linton boy's face and was sent to be locked away).

Hindley's really cruel to him too, hitting and ordering him about. He's my least favorite character, even more so than Lockwood. He's kind of like a dictator, like Hitler or Hugo Chavez, ordering everyone around, telling them what they'll get and do. And his wife doesn't help that out either. She's the one who reminded Hindley how much he hated Heathcliff.

Heathcliff. Now there's a weird name. I like it, I guess, but why, even if it was the name of a dead guy (or maybe in spite of being a dead guy's name) would you name someone Heathcliff. It sounds like the name of graveyard or something. And he only has the one name, no last name or anything. He'd be Mr. Heathcliff or Heathcliff Heathcliff or something, which is just funny. He should have taken the name Earnshaw, which is better than nothing.

I like Cathy the most. She may be cruel and selfish, but I like her because of her spirit and love and support of Heathcliff. She is strong too, not giving in to what Hindley wants and not crying or complaining when the dog chomps on her ankle (which is never pleasant). But she can be wimpy too. Listening to everything Mrs. Linton says and becoming a nice, polite lady disappointed me, but I suppose it was necessary to keep the story moving. Otherwise, Heathcliff wouldn't be so mad at Hindley and vow to get revenge and be so miserable.

Miss K., you were right, after I got through Lockwood's narrating, the language wasn't Old English, just a little old fashoned but still really familiar to how I would talk. Lockwood wasn't Old Englishy either, just used a whole mess of pointless words that really confused me. Thanks.

Well, I need to go finish reading my 100 pages, so bye.

Ciao for now,

Carli
