Summary
Writing in his diary in 1801, Lockwood describes his first days as a tenant at Thrushcross Grange, an isolated manor in the desolate English moor country. Shortly after arriving at the Grange, he has paid a visit to his landlord, Mr. Heathcliff, a surly, dark man living in a manor called Wuthering Heights-- "wuthering" being a local adjective used to describe the fierce and wild winds that blow during storms on the moors.

Wuthering Heights. Sharing a name with the ancestor whose name was carved over the entrance to the house more than three centuries before, Hareton represents a final renewal for the Gothic manor; in the future, it will not be a house of gloom and death, but rather of hope, love, and joy. Heathcliff's death is necessary to accomplish that benign transformation, but it is important to note that Heathcliff's villainous qualities recede before he dies.
