If only Mr Earnshaw had left Heathcliff to his own devices, instead of adopting him to be companion to his children Hindley and Catherine, things would have turned out quite differently in Emily Bronte's masterpiece.

Wuthering Heights Trivia Questions
1. What is the name of the two doomed lovers in "Wuthering Heights"?

From Quiz Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Answer: Catherine and Heathcliff

Catherine and Heathcliff's love is one of the most disturbing and doomed love stories ever to be written. Their passionate natures cannot be contained within the bounds of any human relationship, and it is only at the close of the book that the two are united on another spiritual level way above that of the human condition. Right from the commencement of the novel, the bond between the two is one of dark obsession. It cannot be broken.

2. The main female character, Catherine Earnshaw, is Heathcliff's only friend after Mr. Earnshaw dies. What is the name of Catherine's brother, who nothing short of detests Heathcliff?

From Quiz Wuthering Heights

Answer: Hindley

After Mr. Earnshaw brings Heathcliff home from a trip, Hindley immediately dislikes him. Catherine, however, is instantly friends with him, and they constantly explore the surrounding marshy area. However, after Mr. Earnshaw dies, Hindley takes possession of the house, and kicks Heathcliff out to become a servant, while Catherine still hangs out with him occasionally.

3. At the beginning of "Wuthering Heights", who asked the seemingly benign question, "Now, my bonny man, I'm going to Liverpool to-day, what shall I bring you?"
