Blog Post: Lockwood’s Letter to Heathcliff

Dear Heathcliff,

This letter is of utmost importance as it requires me to sacrifice my own time. I would like to mention politely that your dogs are a complete and utter disgrace. They stain your image and it shows that you really do not take the time to have your dogs disciplined. Since I clearly do not wish to be mauled over again, I am warning you that your dogs must be kept in check the next time I enter your… den.

I do apologize for my brash assumptions when I came over to Wuthering Heights. I had no idea that this household of yours is that complex and I will take note of my mistakes next time.

Nelly is such a dear! I am loving the stories she tells me. Please give her my regards. You are very lucky to have such a hardworking person with you. She made my stay at Wuthering Heights more enjoyable, as I was about to bang my head on the wall due to the horrific winds and the brewing storm. Truth be told, I wonder how you are able to live in such a restless place.

I must also apologize for nearly burning your precious books when I placed my lit candle on them. I do hope that no one has told you about this incident. No human is absolutely perfect, after all. I must say that I am way smarter than that and I only placed the candle there because I was distracted by the harsh winds outside. It definitely was NOT because of my negligence.

I will be coming back to Wuthering Heights to hear more stories from Nelly. She is a dear and I sympathize with her. Please make sure that the dogs are in tight control before I step into your dusty place!
