As Lockwood recovers from his sickness, he realizes that Nelly has come to the end of her story and he now wants to move from Thrushcross.



He traveles to Wuthering Heights to tell Heathcliff of his departure and wishes that Catherine had fallen in love with him. He decided to stay another 6 months and one day decides to visit Nelly and ask about Catherine. Nelly tells him that Catherine has found someone else and cannot wait until they are married. Heathcliff finally leavs Catherine in peace. However, one night Heathcliff goes for a walk and becomes suddenly almost possessed. Once again, a supernatural event takes place and Heathcliff starts murmuring Catherine's name. He dies and Catherine and her new finace soon marry.



After all this, Lockwood feels the sudden urge to leave and does so. He ends up in the backyard among the graves of Edgar, Catherine, and Heathcliff; where it all began. People say they see Heathcliff's ghost but he seems to walk the Earth in good spirits. Creepy.









This was the most difficult book out of the bunch that I chose to read. It was good and the story plot was very intriguing but I got a few things out of it.


I believe that in this book, the motto of "Like mother, like daughter" comes into play because both Catherine and young Catherine were the obsession of two men and aty the samw time they were saiffering because of it. However, in the end, Miss Catherine ended up being happy, a luxury that her mother never had.

I also found it peculiar that when Lockwood stepped out int he backyard, he was among the graves of Catherine, Heathcliff, and Edhar, it was almost as if he was intertwined with their past just liek they were intertwined with each other, for life and death, and even after.
