Wuthering Heights

The book opens with a visitor caught out in bad weather and taking shelter. What is your own favorite way to hide from a storm, and who or what makes a place feel safe to you?

If you could curl up in one room from the novel for an evening, would you pick the rough, fire-warmed kitchen at Wuthering Heights or the softer comforts of Thrushcross Grange, and why?

Much of the story is told by Nelly Dean, the housekeeper, over many evenings. Who in your life has been your 'Nelly', the person who told you family stories, and how did hearing stories that way feel?

The moors seem to comfort some characters and frighten others. Is there a landscape or place from your own life that feels that way to you, both freeing and a little lonely?

Young Heathcliff arrives as an outsider in a new household. Did you find yourself feeling protective of him early on, and did that feeling shift as you read?

Several characters cling to childhood bonds long after they have grown up. Is there a childhood friendship or place you still carry with you, and what does it give you now?

By the final pages, did the book leave you feeling heavy, hopeful, or somewhere in between? Was there a moment that brought you unexpected comfort or peace?

Love in this book can feel more like weather than romance. Did reading it change how you think about the difference between a love that consumes you and a love that looks after you?
