Rodrigo: Page 30-60

In the last few pages of Chapter 3 nd the first few pages of chapter 4 the reader is presented with a very real description of Heathcliff and his wife and their very rugged,cold and rude personalities. The author sets out to explain Heathcliff's past along with Lockwood and Cathy, so that the reader can have a very complete psycological evaluation of all the characters to understand why they are the way they are in the present. This is a very important characteristic of Realism along with the depiction of the normal civilian in its raw state of being, in his/her every day life. By describing the character's past, the reader is presented with a broad psycological analyses of the character giving a very real perspective of why the character is the way he/she is in the present. In the first few pages of Chapter 4 I started to consider Heathcliff and Mrs.Heathcliff very rude people, however after reading in the following pages about their past as children(Heathcliff, Lockwood, Cathy and Haerton) I began to sympathise with Heathcliff because of the way in which he was treated as a child. The reader starts to sympathise with Heathcliff because we start to see the Social values present at that time and the racism present against people of darker skin color such as Heathcliff. The thing that I dont enjoy about Wuthering Heights is the long style of narration which means that it takes a very long time to say anything. As opposed to the the first 30 pages, I felt that Chapter 4 to the middle of Chapter 7, presented more of a explanation of why Heathcliff and his associates are as angry and disspationate about anything as they are. So far, Wuthering Heights has been very similar to portuguese Realism novels, in many characteristics considering the amount of characters present and the importance placed on describing the psycological state of mind of each character. So far, I have no idea what to expect, but I believe it is going to be something good.
P.S: I wont be able to post for the next two weeks because I am going to be in NYC and I wont have access to a computer. So I will post three times on the week we get back. Have a nice spring holiday everyone.
