Wonderful language as in all the Bronte novels. It has everything: passionate love, violence, necrophilia, and even a satisfying positive ending.

cathy and heathcliff are two of the most beautifully deranged, toxic, passionate literary figures to ever exist, and brontë makes you feel every ounce of their agony.
the moors are practically a character themselves with how vividly they’re described. the raw emotion in every line is overwhelming, love as possession, as madness, as something that devours you whole.
i will never recover from "whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."
this book is a hurricane in written form.

I just need to read retellings of this because the original isn’t the vibe. Basically everyone dies of the fucking plague because that’s what happens in that time, I get it. But literally everyone dies except one of the main narrators and the MC. If a bitch coughs just know she’s dead next chapter. None of the characters are likeable and that isn’t a problem at all, I’m a hater, so this is totally up my alley. Sadly I couldn’t get over everyone conveniently getting tuberculosis and dying when their character arc ended. Don’t get me started on the relationships here either. Everyone just married some bitch next door and called it a day.
Also this is a “gothic” novel but it’s just dreary and bleak. The only ghost is seen one time and then just in the background never to be seen again. I didn’t get the gothic vibe much apart from the atmosphere.
I read this for school and didn’t like it clearly. If there are good retellings lmk✌

Heathcliffs redeeming quality, if you can call it that, only surfaced in the last two chapters - still, it does not make me like him any more and actually made me dislike him further by being so selfish and spiteful.
