To prepare for our seminar this week, please gather specific textual evidence for the following threads. Try to “spread the wealth” among the threads instead of concentrating on one or two.
1. Narrator bias – Lockwood/Nelly Dean
2. Comparison of locations (inside/outside, different rooms, different places in different times, Wuthering Heights/Thrushcross Grange, home/moor, etc.)
3. Character weaknesses
4. Use of twos/pairs/opposites
5. Powerful symbols
6. Heathcliff—strong or weak? (You could look at any character regarding this)
7. Love/Passion/Revenge/Obsession
