Margaret T.
The dog imagery here — it mirrors Heathcliff's own position in the household

Dr. Osei
Exactly, Margaret. Notice Brontë's verb "watering" — what does that tell us?
7:15 pm
Priya N.
It makes the dog animalistic but also pitiable — like Heathcliff himself

Wuthering Heights — Chapter III
Emily Brontë, 1847
I took a seat at the end of the hearthstone opposite that towards which my landlord advanced, and filled up an interval of silence by attempting to caress the canine mother, who had left her nursery, and was sneaking wolfishly to the back of my legs, her lip curled up, and her white teeth watering for a snatch.
"A strange choice of favourites!" she observed, watching me caress the humble animal. "Even he is not a favourite — he is the most disagreeable, churlish beast I ever met with."
My landlord halted opposite, and fixed on me a searching, distrustful glance, as I had not the impression of being one of those people who can make themselves agreeable in a moment.

Chapter Three
Families who read
together, stay.
Not curated reviews — real words from the people in our seminar rooms every week.
"We read the Brontë chapters together after Sunday lunch. My daughter is twelve and she asked questions the tutor said were "exactly right." That's the best thing Folio has given us."

"I started the evening cohort while my kids were in bed. By Week Three I was writing better than I had in twenty years of reading alone. The annotations changed how I see every sentence."

Working mother, finishing her English degree, Bristol
"My husband and I retired last year. We've now done three terms together. We argue about Walcott over breakfast and I wouldn't have it any other way."
