The narrative is non-linear, involving several flashbacks to events in the past, and involves two narrators – Mr Lockwood and Nelly Dean, whose stories are interwoven with each other. The novel itself opens in 1802, with Lockwood arriving at Thrushcross Grange, a grand house he is renting from Heathcliff, who at this point resides at the titular Wuthering Heights. After attempting – and failing – to win over his surly, unwelcoming landlord, and intrigued by the curious state of affairs he finds at Wuthering Heights, when confined to his sickbed after catching a cold Lockwood curiously asks his housekeeper, Dean, of the story of Heathcliff and Wuthering Heights.
At this point, Dean takes over the narration (although Lockwood occasionally breaks in during her narrative). Dean’s story begins thirty years earlier, when Heathcliff – then an orphaned foundling living on the streets of Liverpool – is brought to Wuthering Heights by the then-owner, Mr Earnshaw and raised as his own. Earnshaw’s own children, Hindley and Catherine, initially detest Heathcliff; over time, however, Catherine is won over by Heathcliff and the two eventually become inseparable childhood friends. Hindley, however, continues to resent Heathcliff, seeing him as an interloper in his father’s affections, and the two boys become bitter rivals.
Upon Earnshaw’s death three years later, Hindley comes home from college to take over the estate, surprising everyone by also bringing home a wife, a woman named Frances. As the new master of Wuthering Heights, Hindley brutalizes Heathcliff, spitefully forcing him to work as a hired hand. Despite this, Heathcliff and Catherine remain firm friends. Although initially something of a wild child, an accidental dog bite forces Catherine to stay at the nearby Linton family estate, Thrushcross Grange, for six weeks. During this time, she matures and grows attached to the refined and mild young Edgar Linton. When she returns to Wuthering Heights, she goes to some trouble to maintain her friendship with both Edgar and Heathcliff, in spite of their having an instantaneous dislike for each other.
A year later, Frances dies soon after the birth of Hindley’s child Hareton. Destroyed by her death, Hindley turns to alcohol. Some two years after that, Catherine accepts a marriage proposal made to her by Edgar; when Dean confronts Catherine about her engagement, which will undoubtedly crush Heathcliff, Catherine explains that it would degrade her to marry Heathcliff – unaware that he is in the next room, listening. Heathcliff leaves at this point, never hearing her continuing declarations that Heathcliff is as much a part of her as the rocks are to the earth beneath. Catherine is mortified when she realizes that Heathcliff has overheard her, but by that point he has left Wuthering Heights, furious at the fact that he can no longer be with Catherine and unaware of the true bond that she feels towards him. Nevertheless, she marries Edgar, and the two initially live happily.
After Catherine has been married to Edgar for two years, Heathcliff returns, and it is soon revealed that he is intent on destroying those whom he blames for preventing him from being with Catherine. In the interim, he has amassed significant wealth (by means that are not revealed) and has duped the alcoholic, self-destructive Hindley into owing him Wuthering Heights. He is also intent on ruining Edgar, and when he learns of an infatuation Edgar’s sister Isabella has developed towards him, Heathcliff elopes with her, much to Edgar’s despair; not only does this ruin his relationship with his sister, but it also places Heathcliff in a position to inherit Thrushcross Grange upon Edgar’s death. After his marriage, Heathcliff’s true contempt for Isabella emerges and he treats her in a cruel and abusive fashion.
Back at Thrushcross Grange, Catherine – whose physical and mental health has been ruined by the ongoing feud between Heathcliff and her husband – dies in childbirth, giving birth to a daughter also named Catherine. Her death, however, only intensifies Heathcliff’s bitterness and determination to continue his vendetta. Isabella flees Heathcliff’s cruelty a month after Catherine’s death, and later gives birth to a boy, Linton. At around the same time, Hindley dies, and Heathcliff takes ownership of Wuthering Heights. He also takes control of Hindley’s son, Hareton, determined to raise the boy with as much neglect as he had suffered at Hindley’s hands years earlier; despite this, Hareton remains intensely loyal to Heathcliff, viewing him as a surrogate father. Despite his grief over his wife’s death, Edgar devotes himself to raising the younger Catherine, who grows into a gentle-natured girl who shares the flighty nature her mother had once possessed.
Twelve years later, Isabella is dying and sends for Edgar to come retrieve and raise her and Heathcliff’s son, Linton. However, Heathcliff finds out about this and takes Linton from Thrushcross Grange back to Wuthering Heights. The boy is sickly and spoiled, and his father has nothing but contempt for him, but nevertheless delights in the prospect of his own son ruling over the property of his enemies. To that end, Heathcliff forces young Catherine and Linton to marry. Soon after, Edgar Linton dies, followed shortly by Heathcliff’s son, Linton. This leaves young Catherine a widow and a virtual prisoner at Wuthering Heights, as Heathcliff has gained complete control of both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. Chronologically, it is at this point in the narrative that Lockwood arrives, taking possession of Thrushcross Grange, and that Nelly Dean tells her story. Shocked and horrified at the sordid details of what has transpired, Lockwood leaves for London.
During his absence from the area, however, events reach a climax; young Catherine, at first repulsed by and contemptuous of Hareton’s rough, uncouth and uneducated nature, gradually softens towards him—just as her mother grew tender towards Heathcliff. In her lonely state of existence at Wuthering Heights, Hareton becomes her only source of happiness, and the two fall in love. Heathcliff, on seeing their love for each another, appears to no longer cares to pursue his life-long vendetta. Having been haunted for years by what he perceives as the elder Catherine’s ghost, Heathcliff finally dies, a broken and tormented man, and Catherine and Hareton marry. Heathcliff is buried next Catherine (the elder), and the story concludes with Lockwood – who has learnt of these events from Nelly Dean – visiting the grave, unsure of exactly what to feel.

Summary: Chapter I
But Mr. Heathcliff forms a singular contrast to his abode and style of living. He is a dark-skinned gypsy in aspect, in dress and manners a gentleman . . .
(See Important Quotations Explained)
Writing in his diary in 1801, Lockwood describes his first days as a tenant at Thrushcross Grange, an isolated manor in thinly-populated Yorkshire. Shortly after arriving at the Grange, he pays 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. During the visit, Heathcliff seems not to trust Lockwood, and leaves him alone in a room with a group of snarling dogs. Lockwood is saved from the hounds by a ruddy-cheeked housekeeper. When Heathcliff returns, Lockwood is angry, but eventually warms toward his taciturn host, and—though he hardly feels that he has been welcomed at Wuthering Heights—he volunteers to visit again the next day.
Summary: Chapter II
Joseph, an old servant who speaks with a thick Yorkshire accent, calls out from the barn that Heathcliff is not in the house. Eventually a rough-looking young man comes to let him in, and Lockwood goes into a sitting room where he finds a beautiful girl seated beside a fire. Lockwood assumes she is Heathcliff’s wife. He tries to make conversation, but she responds rudely. When Heathcliff arrives, he corrects Lockwood: the young woman is his daughter-in-law. Lockwood then assumes that the young man who let him in must be Heathcliff’s son. Heathcliff corrects him again. The young man, Hareton Earnshaw, is not his son, and the girl is the widow of Heathcliff’s dead son.
The snowfall becomes a blizzard, and when Lockwood is ready to leave, he is forced to ask for a guide back to Thrushcross Grange. No one will help him. He takes a lantern and says that he will find his own way, promising to return with the lantern in the morning. Joseph, seeing him make his way through the snow, assumes that he is stealing the lantern, and looses the dogs on him. Pinned down by the dogs, Lockwood grows furious, and begins cursing the inhabitants of the house. His anger brings on a nosebleed, and he is forced to stay at Wuthering Heights. The housekeeper, Zillah, leads him to bed.
Summary: Chapter III
. . . Catherine Earnshaw . . . Catherine Heathcliff . . . Catherine Linton . . . a glare of white letters started from the dark, as vivid as spectres—the air swarmed with Catherines . . .
(See Important Quotations Explained)
Zillah leads Lockwood to an out-of-the-way room from which Heathcliff has forbidden all visitors. He notices that someone has scratched words into the paint on the ledge by the bed. Three names are inscribed there repeatedly: Catherine Earnshaw, Catherine Linton, and Catherine Heathcliff. He also finds a diary written approximately twenty-five years earlier. Apparently the diary belonged to Catherine Earnshaw, and Lockwood reads an entry that describes a day at Wuthering Heights shortly after her father died, during which her cruel older brother Hindley forces her and Heathcliff to endure Joseph’s tedious sermons. Catherine and Heathcliff seem to have been very close, and Hindley seems to have hated Heathcliff. The diary even describes Hindley telling his wife, Frances, to pull the boy’s hair.
Lockwood falls asleep and enters into a pair of nightmares. He awakes from the second when the cone from a fir branch begins tapping on his window. Still half asleep, he attempts to break off the branch by forcing his hand through the window glass. But instead of a branch, he finds a ghostly hand, which seizes his own, and a voice, sobbing the name Catherine Linton, demands to be let in. To free himself, Lockwood rubs the ghost’s wrist on the broken glass until blood covers the bed sheets. The ghost releases him, and Lockwood tries to cover the hole in the window with a pile of books. But the books begin to fall, and he cries out in terror. Heathcliff rushes into the room, and Lockwood cries out that the room is haunted. Heathcliff curses him, but, as Lockwood flees from the room, Heathcliff cries out to Catherine, begging her to return. There are no signs that the ghost was ever at the window. In the morning, Heathcliff treats his daughter-in-law cruelly. He later escorts Lockwood home, where the servants, who believed their master dead in the storm, receive him with joy. Lockwood, however, retreats into his study to escape human company.
Summary: Chapter IV
Having rejected human contact the day before, Lockwood now becomes lonely. When his housekeeper, Nelly Dean, brings him his supper, he bids her sit and tell him the history of the people at Wuthering Heights. She attempts to clarify the family relationships, explaining that the young Catherine whom Lockwood met at Wuthering Heights is the daughter of the Catherine who was Nelly’s first mistress at Wuthering Heights, and that Hareton Earnshaw is young Catherine’s cousin, the nephew of the first Catherine. The first Catherine was the daughter of Mr. Earnshaw, the late proprietor of Wuthering Heights. Now young Catherine is the last of the Lintons, and Hareton is the last of the Earnshaws. Nelly says that she grew up as a servant at Wuthering Heights, alongside Catherine and her brother Hindley, Mr. Earnshaw’s children.

The reader can immediately question Lockwood’s reliability as a conveyer of facts. A vain and somewhat shallow man, he frequently makes amusing mistakes—he assumes, for instance, that Heathcliff is a gentleman with a house full of servants, even though it is apparent to the reader that Heathcliff is a rough and cruel man with a house full of dogs. Nelly Dean is more knowledgeable about events, as she has participated in many of them first hand, yet while this makes her more trustworthy in some ways, it also makes her more biased in others. She frequently glosses over her own role in the story’s developments, particularly when she has behaved badly. Later in the novel, she describes how she took the young Linton to live with his cruel father after the death of his mother. She lies to the boy on the journey, telling him that his father is a kind man, and, after his horrible meeting with Heathcliff, she tries to sneak out when he is not paying attention. He notices her and begs her not to leave him with Heathcliff. She ignores his entreaties, however, and tells Lockwood that she simply had “no excuse for lingering longer.” Nelly is generally a dependable source of information, but moments such as this one—and there are many—remind the reader that the story is told by a fallible human being.
Apart from establishing the manner and quality of narration, the most important function of these early chapters is to pique the reader’s curiosity about the strange histories of the denizens of Wuthering Heights. The family relationships, including multiple Earnshaws, Catherines, Lintons, and Heathcliffs, seem at this point in the novel to intertwine with baffling complexity, and the characters, because Lockwood first encounters them late in their story, seem full of mysterious passions and ancient, hidden resentments. Even the setting of this history seems to possess its own secrets. Wild and desolate, full of eerie winds and forgotten corners, the land has borne witness to its residents’ nighttime walks, forbidden meetings, and graveyard visits. Indeed, the mysteries of the land cannot be separated from the mysteries of the characters, and the physical landscape of the novel is often used to reflect the mental and emotional landscapes of those who live there.
While the odd characters and wild setting contribute to a certain sense of mystery, this sense is most definitively established by the appearance of Catherine Earnshaw’s ghost. Yet while Lockwood’s account of the event greatly influences the feel of the novel, and while his subsequent account of it to Heathcliff provokes a reaction that may offer us clues as to his relationship with the late Catherine, the reader may still conclude that the ghost is a figment of Lockwood’s imagination. Because Lockwood has proven himself flighty and emotional, and he is still half asleep when he encounters the ghost, one could infer that he never actually sees a ghost, but simply has an intense vision in the midst of his dream. It seems likely, however, that Emily Brontë would have intended the ghost to seem real to her readers: such a supernatural phenomenon would certainly be in keeping with the Gothic tone pervading the rest of the novel. Moreover, Heathcliff refers to Catherine’s ghost several times during the course of the novel. Clearly he concurs with Lockwood in believing that she haunts Wuthering Heights. Thus the ghost, whether objectively “real” or not, attests to the way the characters remain haunted by a troubling and turbulent past.
