45 pages in before the book even starts. The before pages are an introduction to the story - which having read I now feel like I don’t really need to read the rest of the book.
I did and it’s not one for me. I struggled to like this one so glad it’s done.

The book itself was ok I guess. But I had to make a group presentation about it. Safe to say, not the best experience.
I remembered loving this book in high school. It was so nice to listen to it again. Stream Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush forever. Also it was fun to do Jane Eyre and this close ish together. Gotta love the Brontë sisters <3

This book is a controversial one.
It's difficult to make an assessment because, on the one hand, there are some characters who have been annoying throughout history, and there's nothing to say about them. I was expecting a more interesting book. Some people write that there are no negative characters because they are victims of fate. However, this book is written by people who, even in their lives now, allow themselves to be manipulated and offended. You can understand a lot about them, but when a person loses his mind, they just start to devour everyone around them and seek revenge, and so on until the end.
The long, empty dialogues in the book are also a problem. Reading the characters' letters over and over again on 10 pages can be tedious. On page 80, I finally started to understand who was who.

This classic was nothing like what I expected. I felt like I was fed an expectation for a romantic love story upon a cold, unforgiving landscape. Whilst the setting part was true this was not a love story and I was blind sighted by the direction it took.
Hands down, my favourite part of the book was the morose yearning between Heathcliff and Catherine. Nobody writes soul wrenching pining like Emily Brontë and I ate it up.
This book is a cornerstone of romanticism with the sublime workshop of nature and super dramatic dialogue. I love books from the romantic movement and so I enjoyed my time with it. I will say this book really made you work for it, I was super confused at a lot of different parts and they didn’t spoon feed you information like in more modern books. I think frequent confusion, feeling like the middle dragged on and unmet expectations meant this book probably won’t be an all time favourite.
I think this book would have changed my personality (for the worse) if I read this in my adolescence before my brain had fully developed. I know it in my bones 17 year old me would have been a Heathcliff apologist so I’m happy I waited to read this so I could recognise the toxicity of all the main characters.
This was a sad and twisted novel about the pursuit of revenge. If you want to read an OG miscommunication trope where all the characters are unlikeable then this is for you.

In this house we acknowledge Hareton as lowkey the best and most heart-wrenching character in this book

Challenging to read to the older language. The story is completely tragic. Fueled with anger and revenge. It is frustrating. The passion and love is undeniable.
