Wuthering Heights Novel Pack
Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights is an astounding novel with a circular narrative, characters who are doubled and named after each other, and a heroine who doesn’t make it to the end of the story.

This handout focuses on what your students, especially those college-bound or in college, need to know about Pope’s “The Rape of the Lock.”
