Points of view

AuthorLink posts about the point of view in literature. Wuthering Heights is chosen to exemplify a first-person narrative:

The first person narrator doesn’t actually have to have a big role in the story. Think of Nick, the narrator of The Great Gatsby, who has little to do with the story. Or the narrator can be someone close to the hero like Watson with Sherlock Holmes. In Wuthering Heights, the narrator, Lockwood, is telling the story after the fact. (Rochelle Jewel Shapiro)

Well, as matter of fact, Wuthering Heights can be probably more accurately defined as a multi-first-person narrative (Lockwood and Nelly). More here or here.

On the blogosphere: C'mon Let's Plant a Tree posts Anne Brontë's poem The Arbour (Undated: between 1840 and early 1845. First Published: 1846. Source). The Blog Bit Me is reading Villette and briefly discusses a quotation from Chapter 28. LinDoLinA reviews Cime Tempestose, i.e. Wuthering Heights, in Italian. Confluences does the same thing with Jane Eyre.
