However, it's kind of blunted a bit by the distance the literary device used to tell gives it (some parts are like Lockwood relating a letter written by Cathy as narrated to him by Ellen) and the ending sort of runs out of steam.

What I understood from the culture around this story was that it was one of love, and romance. Well I believe those who created movies, songs, etc of this novel's contents were incredibly amiss in doing so and therefore misrepresent this story in it's entirety.
If you are nervous about 19th century novels like I was, I urge you to give this one a shot as it is absolutely an incredible story that I wish I had given a chance to sooner.

I read this book in high school and decided to reread after discovering Kate Bush's song. It is upsetting a lot of people consider it to be a great romance, the relationship is obviously unhealthy.
Added incest as a content warning bc first cousins end up marrying in the end, unfortunately not uncommon for England in this time period.
