Wuthering Heights Reaction Paper Post

Craft a response to one of the two prompts of at least 500 words. Include text support and cite using MLA.
  • Initial response due by class time 9/17.
  • Post at least two substantial replies to class members by class time on 9/18.
Select one of the following prompts: 
--Discuss the structure of Wuthering Heights: be sure to discuss the various narrators, and the limits of each point of view. How is the story structured in terms of chronology?—and how do these structural elements connect to the meaning of the work?

 --Many critics have pointed out that the story of WH essentially repeats twice, first with Hindley terrorizing Cathy and Heathcliff, later with Heathcliff terrorizing Hareton, Cathy II, and Linton. Defend or challenge this notion using support from the text. 

Remember to include in-text citations and list your reference(s) at the end: 

Examples: 
“I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer—but yours! How can I?” (Brontë 195)
