When did this turn into The Great Gatsby

            As we last left off, Heathcliff planned to take revenge on Hindley for treating him as a slave. I predict that whatever Heathcliff is planning will affect him more than it will affect Hindley.

            Chapter 8 was a bit confusing for me. Apparently Frances has given birth to a baby boy, but she died in the process. Because of this Hindley began to drink, and left Nelly with the baby. I was confused because I didn’t understand what time period this was set in. In one chapter Heathcliff was plotting revenge, but in the next Frances gave birth.

            In chapter 9 Catherine tells Nelly that Edgar has proposes, and she accepted. Catherine reveals that she is truly in love with Heathcliff, but prefers to marry Edgar. Heathcliff has overheard their conversation and decides to runaway. Three years later Edgar and Catherine married and Nelly ends her story there.    

            In chapter 10, Lockwood seems to becoming ill. He asks Nelly to finish her story because he still does not understand how Heathcliff obtain Wuthering Heights. Nelly does not know the answer to Lockwood’s question because she does not know what Heathcliff has been up to for three years, but still continues her story. Six months after Catherine’s marriage Heathcliff returns looking like a polished gentleman. Surprisingly Hindley has also invited Heathcliff back to Wuthering Heights. Catherine and Isabella begin to visit Heathcliff and Isabella begins to fall in love with Heathcliff. Sadly Heathcliff is in love with Catherine not Isabella, causing an unobtainable love between Isabella and Heathcliff.

Chapter 10 reminds me a lot of The Great Gatsby. Both Heathcliff and Gatsby somehow obtain great wealth for the attention of a woman.
