Whenever I mention Wuthering Heights I always get that same response, “Wuthering Heights, isnt that the really dull romance book chicks read?” I somewhat disagree with theses statements. Yes Wuthering Heights can get dull and difficult to read at some points, but so are all the other books made in that time period. The reason why I continue reading this book is because im somewhat use to it. I admit I do use sparknote, but that’s to only clarify what I just read so I won’t get confused.

Chapter 4 begins with a lonely Lockwood after he locked himself in his study. Because he wanted company he offered Mrs. Dean to sit with him while he eats hoping he “[gain] information concerning the necessities of [his] establishment.”  Mrs. Dean begins by explaining the family relationship in Wuthering Heights. This I admit is hard to understand, the problem for me was that there were too many names being thrown. Catherine, the women Lockwood met in Wuthering height, is the daughter of the first Catherine and the cousin Hareton Earnshaw. It turned out that Nelly grew up as a servant at Wuthering Heights. Although she was a servant she seems to have the same respect as Catherine and Hindley, Mr. Earnshaw’s children. Mrs. Dean continues to tell the story of when Mr. Earnshaw returned with an orphan from his trip to Liverpool. Obviously the family wasn’t comfortable with Mr. Earnshaw brining a random gypsy into there home. What really surprised me was that they named the boy Heathcliff. I’m not sure if this is the same Heathcliff that currently owns Wuthering Heights, but if it is then I wonder how an orphan gained the rights to the land and not Hindley.

            Chapter 5 is somewhat short. In this chapter a few years have pass and Mr. Earnshaw is growing ill. He is also getting tired of Hindley’s conflict with Heathcliff. Thus one of the servant advices “that [Hindley] should be sent to college and Mr Earnshaw agreed.” The chapter ends with Mr. Earnshaw died will Catherine laid on his lap. There was one quote that caught my attention, “Catherine was much too fond of Heathcliff” I’m starting to wonder if there will be anything going on between them.

The Beginning

            You’ve been friends with her for years. For every groundbreaking achievement and devastating mishaps she been there for you, and you’ve been there for her. Although you haven’t noticed, you’ve gradually fallen in love with her. This excites you, “I’m not surprised that I love her, she’s beautiful, kind, and knows everything about me. Hopefully she will return my love, and we’ll be the happiest couple ever.” Thus you decide to reveal you love to her, but in return you get a “I’m sorry but I think of you more as my best friend than a boyfriend” you’re crushed, your heart is shattered in thousands of peaces and you feel as if you’ll never find someone that loves you. This is the painful scenario of unrequited love and everyone has experienced it.  Unrequited love is love that is not openly shared. No matter how much the beloved is desired.

            I will be reading three books where the main character is plagued by unrequited love. Hopefully I find the answer most unwanted individuals ask “why won’t my beloved return my love” the first book I’ll be reading will be Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.  Although I have read only three chapters of the book, I am very excited to find out what struggles the main character will face while coping with his love.

            The story begins with the main character Lockwood visiting the landlord of Wuthering Heights, Mr. Heathcliff. Inside Wuthering Heights there are five supporting characters, “[Mr. Heathcliff, Earnshaw, Zillah, Joseph, and, [Ms.Heathcliff]”(58) at first Lockwood thought that Ms. Heathcliff was Mr. Heathcliff’s wife, but it turned out that she is a widow to  Mr. Heathcliff’s dead son. It is obvious to the reader that Lockwood will have some romantic involvement with Ms. Heathcliff.

            I predict that Lockwood will gradually try to gain Ms. Heathcliff’s attention like all unwanted losers. And either Ms.Heathcliff will try to prevent it, or Ms. Heathcliff just doesn’t want it.

Now its time for this week, UNWANTED LOSER!!!!! (Working on better title)

This is the segment where I dedicate a certain character that suffers through unrequited love. And today’s unwanted loser is……

CHARLIE BROWN!!!!

            I chose Charlie brown because he constantly stress to gain the attention of that “little red-haired girl” and ultimately never gain his goal.
