The Next Generation How do young Catherine, Linton, and Hareton
reflect the previous generation’s characters? Absolve means “to set free from an obligation
or the consequences of guilt or to remit a sin.” Does this generation find absolution? If so, how?
What do you think is the author’s intent in describing the placement of Catherine’s, Heathcliff’s, and Edgar’s graves?

Heaven and Hell Why are these two repeatedly mentioned, and
how are they treated?“The Helmet of Salvation” and “The Broad Way to
Destruction”Catherine: “What is heaven? Where is hell? If I were
in heaven, Nelly, I should be extremely miserable…” (ch. 9)
“that devil Heathcliff”Isabella: “Is Mr. Heathcliff a man? …is he not a
devil?” (ch. 13)Nelly: “conscience turned his heart to an earthly hell”
(ch. 33)

Heathcliff and the Houses“What is not connected with her to me? and what does not recall her? I cannot look down to this floor, but her features are shaped on the flags! In every cloud, in every tree—filling the air at night, and caught by glimpses in every object by day, I am surrounded by her image! The most ordinary faces of men and women—my own features mock me with a resemblance. The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist , and that I have lost her!”
