Great essay. It brings up many things that bothered me in this series. I was reading this on my phone this weekend (the only way I have access to the internet at home) and what you wrote about Healthcliff and Bertha. It got me to think about how half-bloods are portrayed, and how some see Snape calling him the “Half Blood Prince” as denying the muggle part in him. And I had a lot to say about it but now I’m at a lost. I should have written it down.

I also tried to use my researching skills to find the essay about Healthcliff being Irish. The closes I came up with is “Healthcliff and the Great Hunger” which is in Healthcliff and the Great Hunger by Terry Eaglerton. It doesn’t mention anything about “white niggers” only “Catholics are already salves” pg 34.
