Wuthering Heights Summary
Mr. Lockwood, an out-of-towner renting an estate called Thrushcross
Grange, twice visits his landlord, Mr. Heathcliff, who lives at a nearby
manor called Wuthering Heights. During the first visit, Heathcliff is gruff
but compelling. During the second, Lockwood meets other mysterious
residents of Wuthering Heights, is attacked by dogs when he tries to
leave, and endures a ghostly visitation overnight. Lockwood asks the
housekeeper at the Grange, Ellen Dean (a.k.a. "Nelly"), to tell him about
Heathcliff and Wuthering Heights. She recounts a complicated story of
two families, the Earnshaws and the Lintons.
