What do you make of Heathcliff’s lost years? Isn’t it a bit ridiculous to think he could have acquired so much money in such a short period of time.

What do you think of the significance of windows in the novel? As portals/ boundaries between interior and exterior worlds? Specifically Cathy or her ghost relative to them

There’s a very ironic arc in which Heathcliff goes from being Hindley’s victim of abuse to Hareton’s abuser. Do you think generational trauma is one of Wuthering Heights’ main themes?

How does Heathcliff’s characterisation as a foreigner- slave/gypsy/ Jew/Irish/Black- impact his mannerisms, psyche and actions?

Do you think the 'verticality' that characterizes Cathy's passionate monologue, culminating in 'I am Heathcliff,' suggests a rupture between desire and love?

I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on whether there's a force for good in the book, since for me, Heathcliff almost represents the devil in that his passion for revenge is never-ending and continues the cycle of hate and abuse.
