Could you ever live far away from society in near complete isolation? I could never ever do that in a million years. In Wuthering Heights it is ok to be in the middle of no where and be content. In the eighteen hundreds there was not much to do in the first place, and the cities where not as we know them. I would be drive to insanity by living so far away in todays day and age. Lockwood says “I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself " (Brontë 28). Brontë uses sophisticated words to show Lockwood’s sophistication. Lockwood reflects Brontë's need for solitude and isolation. Appreciation for solitude is what separates the people who live at Wuthering Heights from the civilized world. Heathcliff, the most wild of all says, “I wish I had light hair and a fair skin, and was dressed, and behaved as well, and had a chance of being as rich as he will be” (Brontë 56). Do you ever wish you could change how you are to fit in to society? If so what would you change and why? As I personally do not really fit in anywhere, I am happy as I am because I stand out, but I wish people would view me differently then what they do. Also if you could give yourself any label what would it be and why?
