Great question, Mia.  The actual novel, Wuthering Heights, is told through Lockwood’s perspective; however, he is re-telling the story as told to him by Nelly.  This POV encourages the reader to wonder how accurate and unbiased Nelly’s perspective of the story is, especially since it is being interpreted by Lockwood and then shared again with the reader.  This is known as a frame narrative.  Good luck!
