To class the quote as an accurate assessment can be questionable, as the narrator Nelly admits that she has a dislike towards other characters such as Catherine, the language she uses to describe her can be potentially bias. The majority of the novel is told by Nelly in retrospect and the accounts we get of all of the characters are of her own view. However, it can be argued that Nelly does state that she is fond of Heathcliffe, and she is the one who refers to him as being “a ghoul”. Earlier on in the novel Nelly refers to Heathcliffe as the “devil’s incarnate”, showing that throughout she has had a consistent view of Heathcliffe. Apart from being referred to as “evil” Heathcliffe is described to be in love with Catherine, meaning that he could be misinterpreted by other characters. Dramatic fits of passion could be misread by other characters as devilish, as they aren’t exposed to the world outside Thrushcross Grange and Wuthering Heights for the most of their lives. It can be argued that for not understanding the outside world they cannot understand Heathcliffe for he isn’t born at either of the two locations, therefore classed as different, and hard to understand.
