=CHAPTER 31: Insert title here= Lexi S __EVENTS or DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS CHAPTER:__

Lockwood travels to Wuthering Heights to end his residency at Thrushcross Grange. Along with him, he brings a note from Nelly for Catherine (young). Hareton quickly snatches it up because he feels that Heathcliff should see it first. She begins to cry, so Hareton reluctantly returns the note, which she eagerly takes back because Mr. Heathcliff has taken all of her books. Catherine begins telling the story of why this happened, and also makes fun of Hareton's struggles with his reading and education. She tells him that she doesn't want to discourage him or hold him back, however. Harenton is completely humiliated and begins to yell "Take them!" However, Catherine doesn't want them, so Hareton decides to hurl them into the fire. They continue to fight until Heathcliff arrives.

Heathcliff later returns to the house and tells Hareton that he's beginning to resemble his aunt Catherine - something that is very painful for Heathcliff. He finds it hard to even look at him. After dinner, Lockwood leaves and thinks to himself what a horrible place Wuthering Heights is, people and all. He also contemplates what it would have been like if Catherine would have fallen in love with him, and left that dreadful place by his side for something better.

__3 IMPORTANT QUOTATIONS FROM THIS CHAPTER (and why):__

​" 'Oh!' She replied, 'I don't wish to limit his acquirements...still, he has no right to appropriate what is mine, and make it ridiculous to me with his vile mistakes and mispronounciations! Those books, both prose and verse, were consecrated to me by other associations, and I hate to have them debased and profaned in his mouth! Besides of all, he has selected my favourite pieces that I love the most to repeat, as if out of deliberate malice!' " -Cathy, Page 276

" 'How dreary life gets over in that house!' I reflected, while riding down the road. "What a realization of something more romantic than a fairy tale it would have been for Mrs. Linton Heathcliff, had she and I struck up an attachment, as her good nurse disired, and migrated together into the stirring atmosphere of the town!' " -Lockwood, Page 278
