Since the doctor was the one telling the story that made it so that we‚ the audience‚ saw everything

Wuthering Heights - Feminist Criticism The feminist criticism is perhaps the perspective that best applies to WutheringHeights. For one‚ any personal possessions of a woman goes straight to the husband once she marries. It’s like the woman doesn’t even exist because she has to live under the husband’s name‚ who now owns her belongings. Thrushcross Grange would have been Isabella’s had she not married Heathcliff but‚ since she did marry him‚ Heathcliff automatically becomes the owner. In addition

Reaction Essay - Alice Walker "In Search of Our Mother’s Gardens" If we apply the principle of creative suffering to Walker’s paraphrase‚ may the sadness caused by the loss of the young women actually heighten potential?
