🏠 Thrushcross Grange, where Mr. Lockwood rents

👥 Joseph, an elderly man

"My caress provoked a long, guttural snarl." Represents an incidence, perhaps, of a larger theme, when affection is repaid in animosity.

"no longer capital fellow" makes for an interesting dialing in of the book's representation of reality. Either the narrator is capable of a knowing iron, as is likely, or there is a stranger matter afoot, where the narrator comes upon these realizations in real time, even when contradicting earlier assertions.

👥 Hareton Earnshaw, Hindley's son, a youth that is acutely neglected who becomes the charge of Heathcliff, for his own subtle reasons.

The conversation between Cathy and her father introduces the question of the basis of authority. It culminates, by way of various transmutations, in the question of Heathcliff's life and his seeming and sudden epiphany in the end.

👥 Edgar Linton

Authority here changes hands.
