When thinking of the scenery of this book, I picture it very desolate and isolated, that is why Lockwood went there to retreat from where he was before, and to get away from everything. I was wondering what would come up if I googled it, so I did and there were two different images that I thought were pretty accurate/that I liked a lot. The first one was what I imagined the surroundings to look like. It was plain and barren.
I really enjoyed the second image because it was so contrasting. It is a painting where there are bare trees in a barren land quite similar to the first picture, and it is what's described in the book which is exactly how I pictured the scenery of the book being. But instead of there being snow around the trees, it is essentially just the trees with a real pretty sunset behind it. I don't know why I like this, maybe because it shows that any place can be aesthetically pretty, or that it is soothing, just like Lockwood wanted it to be when he came there.
Catherine seemed to completely change when she stayed with the Lintons. It was obvious that her appearance had changed, she came back wearing a dress and with her hair combed meticulously. But I think she became a much weaker person as well. It seemed to me that she never really stuck up for Heathcliff in a manner that she would have before. She kind of sneakily tries to help him, but she never stands up to the Lintons and everyone and come to his defense. She then decides to marry Edgar instead of Heathcliff, because Heathcliff is now essentially a servant, and that was what really showed me the weakening of her character.
