Question

Who narrates the main story of the Earnshaw and Linton families to Mr. Lockwood?

• A. Heathcliff
• B. Isabella
• C. Ellen Dean
• D. Edgar Linton

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Ellen Dean

Nelly serves as the primary narrator through most of Wuthering Heights. She has been closely involved with both families over the years, serving as a housekeeper and confidante, which allows her to recount the events in great detail. Mr. Lockwood, the frame narrator, writes down her story in his journal — so we actually get the tale filtered through both their perspectives.
