Out on the wily, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you, too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Ooh, it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream
My only master
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Fun fact about this song: My mother had a big obsession with it when the remaster in 2018 came out. She did that weird red dress dance and everything, and also tried to explain to me the story of this book - without much success.

No, this is not a love story, unless you're talking about Cathy and Mister No-Brainer (Forgot his name. Something with Hare). Get out of my house.

Jesus, I never thought I could get so angry at a book, but I swear that I hated Heathcliff the whole book, or more like the third quarter of it. HE IS SO UNLIKEABLE AND TRAGIC I ACTUALLY DESPISE HIM IN THE MOST POSITIVE WAY THERE COULD BE. I hope he, Edgar, and Cathy are having a reconciliation party in limbo or something. Maybe they'll get Isabella to join them too, but I doubt she'll agree.
Isabella and Nelly are absolute queens and I cherish them. Nelly in particular. I love her so much and I'm happy she got a happy ending. That woman did not deserve all this suffering, honestly. She is the only person with a rational mind in this book, and I appreciate the fact that she did not run away the moment Cathy started going insane. She's an OG, and everyone loves her. This is a fact.
Now to the actual book.
... Jesus. At certain moments in this book, I became just like Joseph, screaming incoherently about how everyone is doomed for hell. It's hard not to become like this when- * starts seething at the thought of anything that happened with Heathcliff Jr. (I forgot his first name) *
I have not felt so much misery over a book ever since- well, ever since I read the third Harry Potter book, but I hadn't felt anything like this for a while before THAT. I can't actually explain this. I felt everything so vividly I could honestly believe I was Nelly, with no power over these dumb people doing their dumb decisions, and only trying my best with horrible consequences. Heathcliff is like a fucking tornado ruining everything in his path. Hurricane? Hurricane Heathcliff, with a twelve-year eye of the storm, to let everyone recollect before he continues his head-into-the-wall concept of revenge - which works perfectly!! Except he was never happy with revenge, and then he dies, and nobody is sad about his death except the child he kept illiterate and dumb and as a recluse for most of his life. Both he and Cathy died with smiles on their faces, and they could have not been more different smiles in the entire world.
I find the concept of Mr. Lockwood very funny. I don't know why, but being reminded of his existence in this story is just so funny to me. He just wants a house to help him become the best hermit he can be, and now he learns that his landlord is the actual devil in disguise or something. He has no reason to exist in the PLOT (obviously he has reasoning to be in the book) other than being a failed business endeavor of Heathcliff. Whether he was there or not makes no difference, and that is very funny to me for some reason.
Anyways, this book is amazing and I am so glad I got to read it finally.
