i am asked to write an essay about wuthering heights and i don't know how to start , can someone explain? [on...
the assignment question is -2
Emily Bronte’s 1847 novel Wuthering Heights has often been considered a Bildungsroman, or a novel of development, because it deals with the moral education, growth, and psychological development of its male protagonist, Heathcliff. Recently, while paying special attention to the development of strong female protagonists in the novel, feminist critics have considered the novel a female Bildungsroman. Through examining the elements of a Bildungsroman, discuss how the novel is focused on male experience. In what ways does the novel trace the development and education of Heathcliff from childhood to maturity? Simultaneously, in what ways does the novel also trace the growth and education of its female protagonists? How can the novel be considered a female Bildungsroman? Is the protagonist of this female Bildungsroman Catherine, the mother, or young Cathy? Why? Discuss and cite specific examples from the novel to support your argument.

I agree with the beginning of the comment from @JohnLawler; thoroughly read the book. But, since you're asked to write about specific aspects of the book (Bildungsroman about which characters?) and to provide evidence, I'd add that you should keep those aspects in mind while reading, and you should write down bits of evidence as you encounter them.
