The book starts with Mr. Lockwood, a new renter at Thrushcross Grange, going to Wuthering Heights to see his mysterious landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. Their meeting is strange, showing a place full of anger and suspicion. We learn about Heathcliff’s difficult past: he was an orphan the Earnshaw family took in.
