- ... she choose someone with more knowledge, or why didn't they choose a major character like Heathcliff or Catherine? I believe that the choice to make Nelly the narrator is what makes the book so great, and how the story is told, she is one who qualifies most to be the narrator. This book is very much about love and hate, but Nelly is one who is totally un-opinionated about ... except Nelly. If little Cathy didn't trust Nelly to send her letters to Linton; they would never gotten together .

- ... floating by,/As green as emerald," [ln53] because such a sight is extremely dangerous to a ship. Of course, Coleridge was possibly trying to be more accuracy than allusion, as polar ice does reflect a great deal of green. Red, as was stated above, is the color of death blood. "All in a hot and copper sky,/The bloody Sun, at noon," [ln 111] is the signal to the sailors that ... times. Coleridge, certainly an exceptional writer, would not have been dissatisfied, it seems, to have been a man of the cloth.
