Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. At the beginning of "Wuthering Heights", who asked the seemingly benign question, "Now, my bonny man, I'm going to Liverpool to-day, what shall I bring you?"

Answer: Old Mr. Earnshaw

The late Mr. Earnshaw uttered these ironic words, as he returned with nothing that Hindley (or Catherine) wanted. Instead, he brought home Heathcliff.
2. Which character passionately demanded to know: "When would you catch me wishing to have what Catherine wanted?"

Answer: Heathcliff

Heathcliff spoke these words in disgust when he witnessed how Edgar and Isabella Linton fought one another. He stated that he could never wish for anything that Catherine wanted for herself.
3. "You may come and wish Miss Catherine welcome, like the other servants". Who condescendingly spoke these words?

Answer: Hindley

Hindley derided Heathcliff's low status when Catherine returned from her five week stay at Thrushcross Grange. Hindley had always despised Heathcliff, and enjoyed lowering his situation in life.
4. Which character noted: "Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves"?

Answer: Nelly

Nelly scolded Heathcliff for his jealousy over Edgar Linton. She thought Heathcliff should imagine a great lineage for himself (maybe he was a prince!) and count his blessings.
5. "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same". Which Bronte female delivered this famous quote?

Answer: Catherine

Catherine made this famous statement regarding her bond with Heathcliff. She also compared Heathcliff to lightning and Edgar to moonbeam.
6. "He never struck me as such a marvelous treasure!" Who spontaneously exclaimed this line?

Answer: Edgar

Edgar was cross over Catherine's excitement when Heathcliff returned. Edgar never liked Heathcliff as a child, and that mistrust carried into adulthood.
7. "I love him more than you ever loved Edgar!" Ouch! Which bitter young lady let loose this retort?

Answer: Isabella

Isabella confessed her love for Heathcliff to his soul mate, Catherine. Catherine knew that Heathcliff could never love anyone but herself--and especially not a Linton. Yet her attempts to dissuade Isabella from Heathcliff only increased Isabella's ardor.
8. Which of these characters disclosed this sad presumption: "You'll be ashamed of me every day of your life"?

Answer: Hareton Earnshaw

Hareton doubted his ability to share a friendship with Young Cathy Linton. He did not think he was worthy to be her companion.
9. "Aw sudn't shift fur Nelly--" was muttered by whom?

Answer: Joseph

Joseph was a cantankerous old man. He never showed a hint of affection for any of the inhabitants at Wuthering Heights. This quote translates as "I shouldn't shift (move) for Nelly--."
10. "Well, there is one who won't shrink from my company!" Which character made this passionate declaration?

Answer: Heathcliff

Heathcliff was more than ready to be reunited with his love. He realized that everyone hated him and thought of him as a monster. The only person that could ever tolerate him was Catherine, his dead lover.
