A Comparative Analysis Of Lockwood And Nelly Dean

The novel begins at a time when the story is almost finished. There are two narrators in the novel: Lockwood and Nelly Dean. Lockwood seems more passive as a narrator and more like a receiver of information. He acts both, as an introduction to Nelly’s story and as a validation of it. Nelly knows more about the events at Wuthering Heights and Thruchcross Grange and is also more persuasive. However, both, Lockwood’s narration and Nelly’s narration are very important, because by moving through both of their narrations the reader gets closer to the essential truth of the story
