- Grammar
- Notes: Find at least one example of a rhetorical device in the passage below:
- Not the passage: Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights (1847)
- Also not the passage: Catherine Earnshaw, who once loved Heathcliff, actually married a man she did not really love (Edgar Linton). Heathcliff then marries Isabella Linton (Edgar's sister) in order to be revenged. Isabella runs away from Heathcliff, though pregnant with his child. Here (ch. 15), Heathcliff confronts Catherine for her treachery (marrying someone besides him):
- The passage:
- H: 'You teach me now how cruel you've been—cruel and false. Why did you despise me? Why
did you betray your own heart, Cathy? I have not one word of comfort.
You deserve this. You have killed yourself. Yes, you may kiss me, and
cry; and wring out my kisses and tears: they'll blight you—they'll damn
you. You loved me—then what right had you to leave me? What
right—answer me—for the poor fancy you felt for Linton? Because misery
and degradation, and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict
would have parted us, you, of your own will, did it. I have not broken your heart—you have
broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. So much the worse
for me that I am strong. Do I want to live? What kind of living will it
be when you—oh, God! would you like to live with your soul in the grave?'
C: 'Let me alone. Let me alone,' sobbed Catherine. 'If I’ve done wrong, I'm dying for it. It is enough! You left me too: but I won't upbraid you! I forgive you. Forgive me!'H: 'It is hard to forgive, and to look at those eyes, and feel those wasted hands,' he answered. 'Kiss me again; and don’t let me see your eyes! I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer—but yours! How can I?'

- Review Notes
- Graphing the plot
- Exposition: Easy
- Rising action: Easy
- Climax
- Dr. Wheeler: CLIMAX, LITERARY (From Greek word for "ladder"): The moment in a play, novel, short story, or narrative poem at which the crisis reaches its point of greatest intensity and is thereafter resolved. It is also the peak of emotional response from a reader or spectator and usually the turning point in the action. The climax usually follows or overlaps with the crisis of a story, though some critics use the two terms synonymously.
- AP vs. Others
- Three points of interest
- The key questions: How many serious obstacles cloud the union of Elizabeth and Darcy at each step? When is the reader certain of the conclusion? Where does the reader feel the greatest interest?
- Falling action: depends
- Ending: Closed (not open)
- C of E is Church of England
- Coeleb is the unmarried protagonist of the moral novel
