Detailed Summary. In 1801, Mr. Lockwood notes in his journal that he has rented a remote house called Thrushcross Grange in a rural area of Yorkshire. He wants some seclusion after inadvertently hurting the feelings of a woman he respected due to his aversion to emotional displays.
Lockwood meets Heathcliff at Wuthering Heights, which is about four miles away from where he will be a tenant at Thrushcross Grange. Upon entering the premises, Lockwood encounters Joseph, Heathcliff’s elderly servant who is as equally unwelcoming as Heathcliff.
Analysis. Wuthering Heights opens with a date that signifies the setting as well as the form of the narrative. The present is 1801; however, the primary story line has taken place years ago. Most of the action in the novel occurs in Wuthering Heights, Thrushcross Grange, or the moors in between the two houses.
Analysis. This chapter introduces the reader to the frame of the story: Lockwood will gradually discover the events which led to Heathcliff ––now about forty years old––living with only his servants at Wuthering Heights, almost completely separated from society.
In the first chapter, we are introduced – through the narrator Lockwood – to his surly landlord Heathcliff and the farm house Wuthering Heights.
