Number 2…

The novel is centred on the feminist quest of the heroine, Adah. Feminism is the pursuit by man woman to secure more freedom or welfare for females in a place where men are essentially in control or decide what happens as in our culture or tradition. This novel has many points in the narration where the heroine tries to question a poor treatment of females, assumptions about them or their being taken for granted. On the very first page of the novel, the narrator informs that Adah “arrived when everyone was expecting and predicting a boy.” (p. 7). This indicates that society places more premium on the male than on the female. The narrator further remarks that the failure of Adah’s parents to record her birthday is because “she was such a disappointment to her parents, to her immediate family, to her tribe…” (p. 7). Rather than encourage Adah to take up education, she being older, Boy her younger brother is taken to school. As for the girl, “a year or two would do, as long as she can write her name and count” (p. 9). This is not acceptable to Adah who not only forces herself into Mr Cole’s class, but has to tell lies to obtain the two shillings to afford the cost of the entrance form.

Early in Adah’s life, s has become conscious of the sexes, who is to be relied upon more than the other. She says it is her mother, Ma, who gives such a low opinion of the feminine gender. As the narrator puts it, based on what Adah thinks, “… when in real trouble, she would rather look for a man. Men were so solid, so safe” (p. 12). As it turns out in the novel, however, Adah’s reliance on her husband, Francis, is a catastrophe. Not only does he fail to lead his family, he fails to show support to his wife who is the breadwinner of the family.

Adah is compelled by the mother to choose elderly suitors who in the thinking of her mother would look after wives better. Adah is not moved by this view. She wants young suitors rather than those who “she would have to treat as a master or refer to as ‘Sir’ even behind his back” (p. 20). Modern feminism is not so keen about marriage but Adah’s feminist temper initially saw marriage as an escape route out of homelessness. The home she aspires to have is not one there would be trouble today and fights tomorrow, but a good, quiet atmosphere…” (p. 25). Ironically, her marriage with Francis does not provide such a peaceful air.

In their marriage, Adah diseovers that Francis is an African through and through” (p. 30). Even what concerns Adah is not meant to be known by her. To Francis, “he was the mafe, and he was right to tell her what she was going to do” (p. 30). Only once does he kiss Adah in public, and thereafter Francis remains within his African traditional dictates.

*NUMBER THREE*

Massa is Nii’s wife. She suffers a very serious illness in the first part of the novel and eventually dies by the end of that first part of the novel. Nii loves Massa and goes out of his way to get his wife proper treatment. Meanwhile, Massa is the one that often prevents Nii from doing too much for her. Massa, according to Nii is a pan-Africanist, an idea that all African countries should co-exist. It is perhaps in a bid to promote pan-Africanism that Massa tells Nii not to travel back to Nigeria.

*Multiple Narrators*

The novel employs two primary narrators: Lockwood and Nelly. Lockwood is Heathcliff’s tenant in the present day, and he wants to learn more about the mysterious man. His narration provides a frame narrative for the story. Lockwood learns the back story of Heathcliff, Catherine and the other residents of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange from the housekeeper, Nelly. Her narration provides the internal narrative, which is focused in the past. Other characters provide important narration through their dialogue to Nelly. By using Lockwood as the external narrator, Bronte creates some distance from the events. Then, when introducing Nelly’s narrative, supported by the other characters’ narratives, the novel takes on the tone of a stage drama. All of the narrators are considered unreliable, creating more intrigue around the suspenseful story.

*Multiple Narratives*

In addition to using multiple narrators, the novel also uses multiple narrative devices. For example, Catherine provides significant narration through her diary, as does Isabella in a letter that she writers to Nelly. Each of these devices allows the characters to provide extensive, first-person narration, which gives important intimate details about the story. Catherine’s narration reveals her conflicted feelings about Heathcliff, showing his softer side. Meanwhile, Isabella’s letter reveals the lengths to which Heathcliff will go for revenge, revealing his darker nature. These internal narrative devices help to provide more nuance into the already complex series of events.

*Time Shift*

The shift between Lockwood and Nelly’s narratives also represents a shift between past and present. The novel starts in the present day, when Heathcliff appears to be an irredeemable and evil man and Catherine is only a ghost, whether just haunting Heathcliff’s mind or physically haunting the manor, as he suggests. By starting in the present day, the novel shows just how desperate the situation has become. The reader knows from the start that the story will not end happily. This creates suspense about how the events will unfold.

*Gloomy Setting*

The choice of setting is another significant narrative technique. The moors are dark, stormy and gloomy, which reflects the tone of the story. The novel begins and ends with gloomy circumstances. There are few moments of levity throughout, and even those are overshadowed by a sense of foreboding, such as Catherine knowing that she will never marry Heathcliff, even though she loves him. The narrative’s interior is just as stormy as the moors outside.
