Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
This novel is largely told from the point of view of the main character, Catherine Linton. Because of this, we only learn about the other characters in the novel through her eyes. Describe why this is important to consider when thinking about what we know about the other characters in the novel. Do the treatments of the characters by the author mirror the opinions of Catherine Linton of those characters? Provide examples to support your answer. What effect would point of view changes have on the novel itself?
Essay Topic 2
In the beginning of the novel, we meet a depressed and withdrawn Catherine Linton, and the tone of the novel also seems somber and full of imagery related to isolation. However, this mood seems to change as Catherine's character grows and develops through the novel. Can you identify a parallel between the Catherine's mood throughout the novel and the mood of the novel itself? Is this a writing technique of the author used on purpose? What effect does it have on the novel and on the development of the plot? Provide examples.
Essay Topic 3
Just as there are main characters interacting with Catherine in the novel, there are a peppering of minor characters that play a role in the novel's development. Discuss the minor characters and their place in the development of the story. Include in your discussion the characters of Betty Eakins, Martin Barnes, Jewel Crenna, Leila Masham and Salton Sims.
