Chapter 10-Rodrigo

I would like to start off by saying that i am really not enjoying this novel at all. I am not enjoying it because of the length of the story, the writing style of the author and the actual content of the novel and how the author approaches this content. I would like to use something that Camila said in that when comparing Wuthering Heights to A Doll's House it is clear that it is possible to have a well written story in a short amount of pages or play form as is A Doll's House. In Wuthering Heights it takes 300 pages for the author to get her message through to the reader while in A Doll's House it only takes 60 pages for the author to get his message through to the reader. I am at the beginning of Chapter 11, page 118 and I truly fail to see how the author is going to be able to wrap up the whole story while still being able to transmit her theme and message along to the reader. I dont enjoy how Bronte takes one whole chapter(10-15 pages) to tell one single story or event about one of the characters lives. A little suspense is good but not when it means that the reader has to read the book for one hour just to know the main characters age. So far in Chapter 10, Heathcliff returns after many years, apparently grown up and looking like a gentleman. He comes back looking for Catherine and finds her at Wuthering Heights with Edgar, her being girlishly pleased at seeing her old companion back encourages him to stay with them while he is back. Edgar however, does not feel the same way towards Heathcliff and shows a slgiht distatste to his presence at Wuthering Heights. Isabella, appears to be enchanted by how much Heathcliff has changed and apparently begins to harbour feelings for the outcast gentleman. Nelly the watchfull eye of Wuthering Heights notices that even though Isabella is apparently falling for Heathcliff, he only has feelings for Catherine or so it seems for she begins to doubt whether he has alterior motives for coming back, possibly envolving motives of revenge against those who opressed him. This chapter was rather interesting because Heathcliff comes back filled with rage and it makes me curious to find out what this surpressed rage is going to make him do regarding Hindley who treated him like garbage since they were children. The way in which he comes back is very characteristic to many stories or plots. For example, the poor kid who is bullied and opressed during his childhood while all his brothers and sisters have the better lives, so the kid decides to leave never to speak to the other siblings again. Until one day after many years this kid returns, but not a kid anymore, rather an adult with many riches accumulated from years of hard work which will be used in order to make those who made him suffer, suffer. It will be interesting to see if this is the path that heathcliff will take or if he will chose a different path.
