Does Wuthering Heights have satire

Answer 1

Yes, Emily Bronte pokes fun at Lockwood throughout the novel, through his character (he makes instant assumptions about situations and characters which prove to be wrong - Mrs Heathcliffe, Lockwood thinks she is Heathcliffe's wife when there is no possible way he could conceive this to be the case when she is far younger).

The scene with the dogs where both Heathcliffe and Earnshaw laugh at him is another example. He makes out the situation to be a lot worse, making himself out to be a martyr when the dogs haven't harmed him "with several incoherent threats of retaliation that, in their indefinite depth of virulency, smacked of King Lear"
