| Frage | Antworten |
| ‘provoked a long, guttural snarl’...’growled Mr Heathcliff' | Anthropomorphism? Vicious |
| ’T’ maister’s dahn i’ t’ fowld' | True working class dialect |
| ‘slender’...’scarcely past girlhood’...’exquisite little face' | Contrast to Heathcliff |
| ‘I pulled its wrist on to the broken pane, and rubbed it to and fro till the blood ran down and soaked the bedclothes' | Foreshadows Heathcliff’s later haunting. Ambiguous encounter-deliberate. ‘its’-pronoun, dehumanises the ghost-supernatural. Violence. ‘blood...bedclothes’-highlights the brutality-vivid. |
| ‘It’s a cuckoo’s, sir' | Lay eggs in other nest-raised by other birds/pushes against host family-a reflection of Heathcliff. |
| ‘Hindley degrading himself past redemption; and became daily more notable for savage sullenness and ferocity' | Described almost as an animal. Hindley is deteriorating. |
| ‘as one came in and the other went out' | Can see a contrast between Heathcliff and Linton. |
| ‘To show that I do take notice' | Heathcliff’s love is bordering obsession. |
| ‘a bleak, hilly, coal country for a beautiful fertile valley' | Individuals linked to landscape. Contrast of Heathcliff and Linton. |
| ‘She never had power to conceal her passion, it always set her whole complexion in a blaze' | Imagery of fire to represent her wildness. |
| ‘his idol had commited' | Linton is naive. |
| ‘cat possesses the power to leave a mouse half killed, or a bird half eaten' | Linton is lowered to animal imagery reflecting his meek power of Catherine. |
| ‘Wuthering Heights, where I woke sobbing for joy' | Cathy’s idea of heaven is Wuthering Heights, and in nature. |
| ‘It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff' | 19th century marriage for social gain-society over nature. |
| ‘not because he’s handsome, Nelly, but because he’s more myself than I am' | Allusions of them as literal soul mates-transgressive in a society where this intensive love should only be for spouse. |
| ‘souls are made of, his and mine are the same, and Linton’s is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire' | Juxtaposition sets Heathcliff and Linton as binary opposites. Natural imagery-their love force of nature. Descriptions almost oxymoronic-love so intense-supernatural quality. |
