Wuthering Heights: The End
Linton is sick and weakly, the opposite of Hareton. Young Catherine is similar to her mother; she is very selfish. It is interesting to see the second generation seem so similar to the first.

How could Emily Bronte create such dark creatures? The writer is animated and inspired by something they cannot control. Wuthering Heights is great art.

How does being famous change a person's life and relationships? People may warship a famous person and become in complete control of their actions.

Frankenstein By Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Walton is trying to find a passage to the North Pole. Him and his shipmates spot Victor and bring him aboard the ship. "Unhappy man! Do you share my madness?" Quote found in 1819 edition, taken out of the 1831 edition. *Read both introductions - (Percy Shelley is a great poet). Some claim that Percy actually wrote Frankenstein which could be interpreted as sexism.

Walton wants to be a famous writer.
