Up to Chapter 8

By reading the first few pages I already got the feeling that this novel will be filled with supernatural happenings. One moment has already happened with Catherine's ghost appearing to Mr. Lockwood in pages 25-26. However on this part I did not really understand how
he supposedly got cut when seeing her ghost. He said the window was closed hoever she grabbed his arm, but kept asking to let her in?!Then he started to bleed.....how is that possible if there was no where for him to cut himself since the window was closed and the ghost was outside???\this is why I really do not appreciate supernatural happenings for I usually find incongruency in it. Any ways, the story is now starting to become clearer for the characters are clearer now. I was only able to really understand the relationship between the characters of Wuthering Heights after Mrs. Dean explained them. One thing I found really similar to the portuguese realism novels is the great amount of characters. For example in the book O Cortiço there are more than ten very important characters, and in this book although the main story is about Heathcliff and Catherine there are various characters that contribute to the story and should be taken note of. Anyways I still think that the book will become more interesting by the middle when a climax is biult, at least that is what I hope for. The start has not been that much catchy for me at least I don't about you guys but I prefer real life story and not supernatural happenings.
P.S. Is anybody else having a little of a hard time reading Joseph's lines???Sometimes even after reading aloud I can't understand all the words!!
See you in two weeks!!!
