Round 400: Tossup 8
A character with this first name falsely believes that General Tilney is a murderer due to her desire to be a Gothic heroine. That character with this name is the protagonist of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey. In another novel, a character with this name bullies her cousin Hareton due to his illiteracy. In that novel’s frame story, a ghost with this name tells Mr. Lockwood to let her in after he discovers her diary. That character with this first name has her story told by the housekeeper Nelly Dean, including her marriage to Edgar Linton and romance with Heathcliff. For 10 points, give this first name of the female protagonist of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. ■END■
