Two questions from Chapters 1–2
1. In Chapter 1, Lockwood confesses what happened at the seaside last summer when a young woman he admired finally returned his look. What did he do?
- A He proposed to her, but her mother refused to allow the match
- B He grew cold until she thought she had been mistaken
- C He wrote her a poem and left the coast before she could reply
- D He followed her home and was turned away at the door
Answer key
B. Lockwood admits he "shrunk icily" into himself until the young woman doubted her own senses and left with her mother; he never declared himself, so there was no proposal or poem.
2. Lockwood notices "a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun." What does this image suggest about the setting?
- A Wind-bent, they look like beggars pleading for warmth
- B The trees are carefully trained by Heathcliff's servants
- C The house faces south and enjoys unusual sunshine
- D The thorns are dying because no one has watered them
Answer key
A. The "gaunt" thorns are bent by the north wind and personified as beggars asking the sun for charity, an image of a harsh, starved, exposed place; nobody tends this garden.
