A comparison between Wuthering Heights and Heart of Darkness Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad are two similar stories in the sense that they both have a double narrator and that the Narrators of both are manipulated to tell stories of similar morals. They differ, however, in narrative structure, points of view, and some personality traits of the narrators. The dual narrator arrangement of Wuthering Heights begins with Mr. Lockwood, the naïve new tenant of Thrushcross Grange. She seems to be quite a sociable person and goes to visit Heathcliff who is not so sociable and actually seems downright unwelcoming. Due to the weather conditions at the time (in which Lockwood was unwise to go out) Lockwood remains stranded in Wuthering Heights where he feels rather unwelcome. While spending the night at Wuthering Heights, the curious Lockwood browses through some books where he finds things written by Catherine. He hears Catherine's voice calling and asking for help. Heathcliff then runs after the girl who is not actually a girl, but Catherine's ghost. Heathcliff embraces this ghost and dies with her in his arms. This pretty much sums up the narrative present and Lockwood's role as narrator. Out of curiosity (Lockwood's most important personality trait), he asks Nelly Dean questions about Heathcliff and the girl. At this point Nelly takes on the role of narrator and we move into the narrative past. Nelly Dean is quite knowledgeable about Wuthering Heights and the events that occurred there; however, she is outspoken and opinionated. He doesn't fail to mention that he has shown a genuine interest in Heathcliff ever since... halfway through the paper... we learn about Heathcliff's character at the beginning of the story. In Heart of Darkness we don't discover Kurtz until the end. In both stories, we rely heavily on the narrators to illustrate the meaning of their lives. Although Nelly was opinionated, he was still able to illustrate the moral of the story as well as the more objective narrator, Marlow. Heathcliff took possession of both the Grange and the Heights, but lost his true love, and Kurtz had fame, jewels, ivory and the beautiful Amazon, but not the love of his betrothed. The most important similarity, however, was common not only to the narrators but also to the reader. Without curiosity the story of Wuthering Heights would not have begun, Heart of Darkness would not have continued, and the reader would have had no interest in either of them...
