With the wind today, I feel like I'm about to reenact a scene from Wuthering Heights here!
Speaking of, Mama G, Cora, and I were playing on the Wuthering Heights driveway yesterday, and I somehow (per Mama G's idea) ended up playing Wuthering Heights Character Twister (um, the rules were a little fudged). While it seemed absolutely ridiculous in theory, it actually was a physical manifestation of the characters' classes and resulting relationships. I'm going to make AP Lit do this next year at school!
If you want to look at the previous pictures, here are my directions and my analysis :) This covers the whole book, so if you don't want to know what happens yet, don't read ahead!
Yes, this is what it would be like to live with me full time.
1. Right foot Hindley, left foot Hareton -Barely a movement as these two center around Wuthering Heights; even though Hareton has lost his inherited social standing, he is technically the name above the door!
2. Right foot Cathy, left foot Linton - once again, these two of the upper upper class and the upper middle class are naturally together; Cathy never really has to go far for anything.
3. Right foot Cathy, Left foot Cathy 2.0, a hand to Linton - since Cathy 2.0 is the best of both her parents, it makes sense that you don't have to stretch too far to unite this family together.
4. Right foot Heathcliff, Left foot Isabella - yes, I did a split here, thank you so much - look at the distance between the social classes and the appropriateness of this marriage plus its uncomfortable relationship.
5. Right foot Heathcliff, Left Food Linton, 2 hands Isabella - I made this sort of a plank - while Linton is between them, he does closer to Isabella, showing his unsuitability with the Heights and Heathcliff. Although, Heathcliff (and his anger issues) does reach out and bite him (get the dog reference there for those of you following along at home?).
Mama G still wants me to do The Scarlet Letter after it rains. She thinks my neighbors won't know what the "A" means. Yeah, I bet they do.
