This is not a love story. The writing style is really good, and I enjoyed reading it. The only character I really liked and cared for was Mr. Linton, and Hareton second. The description of the abuse happening is very vivid and well executed, as much so that I hope Emelie Bronte didn't have to suffer through something similar in her life. If you want to say this still is a love story, it's not one between the ones you think it is.

"Αν όλα χάνονταν και αυτός έμενε, θα συνέχιζα να υπάρχω. Κι αν όλα έμεναν κι αυτός χανόταν, το σύμπαν θα ήταν για μένα τόπος ξένος και φοβερός. Δεν θα είχα θέση εκεί."

Μια σχέση ρομαντικού πάθους, ανάμεσα στον Χήθκλιφ και την Κάθριν, με πολλά συμβάντα τα οποία είναι αποτέλεσμα δραματικών καταστάσεων και συμπεριφορών των χαρακτήρων. Ένας ανεκπλήρωτος έρωτας που όμως δεν ξεχάστηκε ποτέ.

Εξαιρετικά αναλυτικό βιβλίο και καλογραμμένο. Ομολογώ πως σε κάποια σημεία με κούρασε, σε άλλα όμως η ανάλυση ήταν απαραίτητη και καλοδεχούμενη! Η μόνη μου ένσταση για την συγκεκριμένη έκδοση είναι η πολύ μεγάλη εισαγωγή -την οποία και σταμάτησα καθώς υπήρχαν αναλύσεις και κριτικές με αποσπάσματα από την ιστορία- και επανήλθα αφού ολοκλήρωσα το διάβασμα του μυθιστορήματος.

It’s crazy Ellen is able to remember so well that she can even say what the other characters said YEARS later

So beautifully written, became unnecessarily cruel and stuck at some moments

Ugh this sucks, because this is my mom’s favorite book in the entire world and I wanted to like it so much, but I just couldn’t. Heathcliff seemed like an unfeeling tyrant for most of the book, and I get he had a terrible childhood, he couldn’t marry his love, and he’s grieving her loss, but that’s no excuse to act like the asshole that he did. And Catherine was just a straight up brat. I did not like any of these characters. 

I understand when you delve into the themes and compare the relationships and the message about social class and all of that the work has a lot of meaning, but did I enjoy reading it…no
