Question

• B. He dreams of Catherine’s ghost at the window
• C. He hears eerie music in the house
• D. He sees Isabella walking through walls

Answer 1

Answer:

B. He dreams of Catherine’s ghost at the window

While spending the night at Wuthering Heights, Mr. Lockwood has a disturbing dream in which a ghostly voice begs to be let in. He sees a small, ice-cold hand breaking through the windowpane and hears the ghost say, “Let me in — I’m Catherine Linton — I’ve come home, I’ve lost my way on the moor!” Terrified, Lockwood tries to pull away and cuts himself on the glass.

This scene introduces the novel’s supernatural undertones and foreshadows the idea that Catherine and Heathcliff’s connection transcends death. It also sets the eerie, Gothic mood for the rest of the story.
