Wuthering Heights #5

To start off, the time period of the stories Nelly told was in the mid 1700's in Yorkshire. The behavior and social issues of that time was a lot different than this time period. For example of behavior, people back then were much more polite to strangers. I noticed many different times that people were being invited over for dinner, having pleasant conversations, etc. You do not see too much of that happening with strangers today. As for social issues, the major one I found was Catherine Earnshaw agreeing to be engaged to Edgar Linton. This can be a social issue because Catherine was greedy and wanted money, and most of all she wanted social advancement. I do not think that this happens as much as it does in our time period than it did back then.

Symbolic and thematic significances are key to a novel. This novel had one symbol that really stood out: love. Some hearts were broken throughout the novel and because of that, it made an interesting story. Also, it is not always the best idea to seek revenge. It does not always turn out how you think it will. And much like the theme, love is tough and hard to handle. There will be obstacles but it will always be worth it.
