I’m so sorry for the people who love this book but it read like a book-tok mafa romance (especially the main love interest). Had to DNF after two chapters, because the beginning of chapter 2 is concerning at best. Overall: Perfect if you want a good hate read.

Todos los personajes son desagradables con excepción de Nelly y un poco Lockwood. Todo el drama se habría ahorrado si Catherine Earnshaw se hubiera casado con Heathcliff, aunque seguro que esos dos habrían terminado haciéndose aun más daño el uno al otro, la toxicidad que se cargaban es increíble.
Y a pesar de eso es muy bueno el libro, es como cuando escuchas un chisme súper bizarro y casi irreal, te horrorizas por muchas cosas pero no puedes dejar de escuchar (o, en este caso, leer).

Ok I’ll give it 3.5 stars. I think I had higher expectations for it since it’s a classic but I just felt like it was a little slow, especially in the beginning. Also, definitely not a romance novel so don’t know why people say it is.

There isn't one wholly good character in this book. Everyone in it is so completely flawed or straights out evil. All doing each other bad. Yet it is so intriguing. Read this book super fast because I just needed to know what horrible thing they were doing to each other.

This book is a masterpiece.
I don't know how Brontë did it, but she managed to make the characters profoundly unlikeable and awful while still allowing space for you to root for them. It is a stunning and powerful portrait of trauma, abuse, and loss–themes that seem far ahead of its time!
The structure of the novel–told as a story through the housekeeper Ellen "Nelly" Dean is a compelling rhetorical device because we as the reader, Lockwood as the listener, and even Nelly herself are all on the outside looking in. And yet there is an intimacy and a depth that can only be ascertained through this device.
I am completely floored by this novel, everyone should read it.
