"She does not seem so amiable,"I thought, "as Mrs. Dean would persuade me to believe. She's a beauty, it is true, but not an angel." page 305
Throughout the story, the audience is getting the storyline from Mrs Dean who is reciting it to Mr. Lockwood. However, we are never really introduced to Mr. Lockwood's true feelings on the matter. Moreover, by the use of the stream of conciousness, readers are able to identify with the characters true feelings. We knew how Mrs. Dean felt about Cathy and the Heathcliffs but never really how Lockwood felt about them. Mr. Lockwood agrees with Dean on the fact that Cathy is beautiful but he does not see her as an angel. The author relates this to the readers by showing us into the minds of the characters. Lockwood is a strong character and plays an important role on figuring out the true story. By having the stream of conciousness, we are able to see his true thoughts and ideas on the characters.
