   Lockwood is renting Thrushcross Grange, which Heathcliff owns. Thus, their relationship is one of a landlord and his tenant. At the beginning of the novel, Lockwood has not met Heathcliff and decides to visit him at Wuthering Heights. It is this encounter which provides the basis for the rest of the story. Lockwood is treated so badly and experiences such unnatural events that he becomes curious about Heathcliff and the other people who inhabit Wuthering Heights. Lockwood returns to Thrushcross Grange and asks his servant, Nelly, to tell him the story. Nelly then reveals the strange history of both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange.
