hope in wuthring heights
in the story so far there doesnt seem like a lot of hope for anything good because we the readers have only heard the bad and secrets of wutherings heights that has made it such a dark a dreary place but like the darkling thrush the people oh wuthering heights are in a depressed stage but hopefully lockwood will be the hope in there lives that turns wutgering heights around to a new bright positive future possibly making amends with past issues like linton family and moving on from the greif and mourning of catherine
The Darkling Thrush
I thought that this poem was a little confusing until we talked about it, but now i really understand it. It is kind of interesting. He finds hope through a bird, which is cool. There wasn't much life and the bird brought a sense of life and also the fact that things would get better through time.
Wuthering heights
Going along with what kennady said i think that lockwood will play a future role in the book other than the tennet. I think that he will help resolve some of the problems present at wuthering heights. He will probably be able to turn wuthering heights back into an admirable place rather that haunted and scary.
Hope
Throughout the novel so far there has not been much hope for heathcliff, nobody has really liked him and he has been an outcast. But i think there is hope for heathcliff because soon he will be able to be with catherine. There is a big fight going on right now between edgar and heathcliff because of heathcliffs feelings twords caterine. but Eventualy i think that catherine will end up with heathcliff.
Is there hope?
I believe that in the end, Lockwood will help the Earnshaw/Linton family come together and be as one. He will break the ice that surrounds the atmosphere and it won't be so awkward anymore. It seems as if this is a rather hard task and I'm not so sure if he can complete it alone. He is an outsider and all he knows about the family is what Nelly tells him through her stories.
wuthering heights - hope
i think that in wuthering heights lockwood will bring the people together and solve different underlying problems that are originated but have never been brought to surface with the characters. yet, i also feel that lockwood is kind of shallow and insecure and he won't get anywhere himself because he is an unreliable man and has no self expierience that he has done because he learns from others mistakes instead of his own doings. maybe the tables will turn. ?
