The Mystery of the Fortune..
My theory on how Heathcliff made his fortune would have to be that he found out who his birth parents were. When Heathcliff ran away for a few years I believe that he chased after his birth parents because he wanted to try and find the people that truly loved him. When searching, he found out that he was abandoned twelve years ago because his parents had never returned from their trip to Ireland. His uncle explained to Heathcliff that he came to Liverpool to try and find him but he was gone. Heathcliff's parents' boat was never found along the coasts of England or Ireland but they had left all of their money for him. For a couple years Heathcliff lived at his parents' old house in Liverpool and discovered more about his childhood. He then decided to return to Wuthering Heights with his money and revisit Cathy.

This is a very unique story. We had similar ideas of what happened to Heathcliff in regards to him finding his birth parents. The specific details about his parents and uncle really made this long-lost chapter seem realistic. I loved your creativity, and how you thought outside of the box!
ReplyDeleteGreat job,

I think this is a plausible explanation about how Heathcliff spent his three years away from the Heights. After his dispute with Cathy, Heathcliff longed for some form of stability, which could be found in his family.
