Okay, but who actually calls this a romance and a love story???? The writing was exquisite, and I wish Emily Brontë had gotten to write more. The characters (and their circumstances) were horrifying.

Nearly all of the characters in this book are awful people.
I don't usually subscribe to the view that a main character has to be sympathetic. I can certainly enjoy a book with flawed characters, antiheroes, or one written from the point of view of a villain. But reading this, I learned that I get very little enjoyment from a book where every character is self-centered, petulant, lazy, cruel, vindictive, or violent.

Why did I ever thing this was a gothic romance? This was depressing as all hell. Nearly everyone miserable and petty. It was great to read. Some characters I felt for more than others.
I started this read because I heard of the new Wuerthing Heights movie coming out and I heard about the casting choices......yeah after reading this, it's very clear that Heathcliff is not white. It's the literal text of the book. I will be doing my best to avoid this movie.
Once again, this deserves a reread but with a dictionary and a pencil for annotating.

I read the book for the first time about 15 years ago, and only reread it now. I loved it even more than the first time. The atmosphere, the revenge tale, the love story between Catherine and Heathcliff, all the ways these families’ lives affect the others, how you have to parse through Nelly’s account of events… It's perfect.
I still wish I could hit Lockwood in the head with a stick lol. Just once. Not even too hard! But hit him in the head, I would.

is kind of a slay wait i’ll explain later
edit: miz bronte rly sat down and said it’s time for me to write some of the most intensely hideous depictions of love in human history that feel animalistic and savage while being deeply beautiful just like the wild, free beauty of the moors amirite ladies except i’m going to hide it behind some of the most boring intro chapters possible too so the literary wattpad slowly sinks in only later. also not love being our driving force with passion as our inner compasses being of either aesthetic or moral value even when in service of malignancy. i’m also going to have a lot of reality tv esque moments with hilarious takedowns and reaction shots that i probably didn’t intend but could totally make the novel feel like some sort of comedy.
Also this was better than Jane Eyre. Like duh. Fr.
