How did he make his fortune and improve himself. This is my "maybe" possibility. He thundered off down the road to Liverpool on the master's best horse, and coming upon a highway robbery in process, he instantly jumps and kills the murderous bandit, injuring himself. The wealthy gentleman, with his young family, is so grateful, he takes Heathcliff home, sets him up with clothing, teaching, and other attentions. Heathcliff, under the wealthy gents direction, makes some lucrative voyages to America, possibly in the " SlaveTrade" or running guns to America during the War of Independance. Heathcliff would be on the loose, by my calculations, about 1781-1784, good timing for both of these business deals.
Then, Heathcliff returns to Cathy, a full grown hero. Note. Mr Lockwood arrives in 1801 when Heathcliff is about 40. Heathcliff runs away when he is about 20.

Note: I am reading "Sunset Song" by Lewis Grassic Gibbon. The mother says to her daughter, " Oh, Chris, my lass, there are better things than your books or studies or loving or bedding, there's the countryside your own, you its, in the days when you're neither bairn nor woman".
Emily, the moors, her own and she, theirs.........the heath and the cliff.......the eternal rocks, the bones of life itself.

So we have seen it..........Are we thrilled, engaged, intrigued? Did chills go up our spines? Did the hairs stand up on the back of our necks? Did we FEEL? Did we feel the love, the agony, the suffering, the passion, the hatred, the confusion? Did the characters live, act for themselves and come alive? Was Emily proud?
My answers to all of these and more is NO NO NO.

Spring is a busy season of gardening here at home and we are still building our house as well. I am missing the Brontes, the research and the movies. I can't wait for the movie, Bronte, to come out and I hear, a new Wuthering Heights is being filmed. I need a good bio to read in my few spare moments. I have some heather in my garden, the early blooming type. Bees love it. Where are all of you Bronte lovers? Read any good books lately? Rosi.

I paint for fun only and I find models for Heathcliff and Catherine everywhere. I want to post some of these images from time to time. Have to figure out how.

Dear friends,
I am a translator from Madrid, Spain. I have majored in English Literature and my field of interest is Victorian literature. I have just applied for membership in the Brontë Society as well. I have just started the first blog about the Brontë sisters and the Victorian era in Spanish. Right now it’s very empty but I plan to update it often and to fill a very sad gap in the Spanish speaking blogosphere. If you are interested in taking a look, the title of the blog is Los páramos de Charlotte (Charlotte’s Moors) and you can find it right here: http://losparamosdecharlotte.blogspot.com/ Thanks!
