Servant of the text
Significance of Nelly’s narrative:
• Doesn’t make cultural mistakes
• More empathetic with the characters
• Written with an educated manner
• Occupies a unique cultural position: doesn’t share a regional dialect with
the other servants although she understands them perfectly, access to a
range of discourses that might be considered ‘beyond her kin’
Nelly’s guesses about the internal states and opinions of the following three
characters:
Heathcliff;
• At one with nature (sympathy for him)
• “a silent combat with his inward agony”
• ‘Your pride cannot blind God’
Catherine;
• at peace (with God)
• imagines a place where life is boundless
• The body asserted ‘it’s own tranquillity’
God;
• Thinks Catherine should be in Heaven – Heathcliff belongs in Hell
• Influenced by class system
Quotes by Nelly:
• “Far better that she should be dead, than lingering a burden, and a
misery-‐maker to all about her
...
”
• “You’re hard to please – so many friends and so few cares, and can’t
make yourself content!”
• “You have no right to nip me, and I’m not going to bear it!”
