Good gravy. I've read few books with zero likeable characters but this really takes the cake. Catherine and Heathcliff and vacuous and toxic. This is the kind of book that you feel like you need a shower after reading.
I feel it's odd that Heathcliff is portrayed in modern media as some sort of romantic figure. He's an lecherous schemer that basically personifies evil. His character repulsed me! I don't see how he could ever be revered as some literary hero!
This is a dark, spooky Halloween read. If people think this is "romantic", I recommend they seek out a good therapist.

De nuevo, si mi colegio no nos lo hubiera dejado para leer no estoy segura de si algún día me hubiera animado para conseguirlo.
Cada vez que leo libros clásicos me doy cuenta de en que aspectos a cambiado y en cuales no, la sociedad.
Hay muchos detalles que no me gustaron del libro, la historia se me hace muy entretenida, que deja deseando más en algunas partes pero hasta ahí queda.

Maybe I’m crazy but I was lowkey rooting for Heathcliff sometimes (not when he turned crazy abusive and evil - don’t get me wrong there.) maybe from a modern lens I find his anger and resentment towards the family justified based on the way he was treated solely due to his class and appearance. Def deserved to be haunted for life though. Oh, also I think Nelly was a shit stirrer - kinda didn’t like her behavior. Emily Brontë is a queen of imagery and spooky ghosts, though, so shout out to the creepy and gothic setting - I loved the supernatural elements.
