I am so infatuated with this gloomy, bleak, yet still slightly hopeful novel! catherine earnshaw will be on my mind for the rest of my life. heathcliff’s rambling about cathy’s body rotting beside his own is forever imprinted in my brain. I’m enamored by the romantic declarations that were far too late and the brutal revenge that did nothing to ease heathcliff’s pain. and oh! the tragedy every time heathcliff saw cathy in her daughter! I even enjoyed the miserable complaints of linton, who may now be my most hated character of all time.

so I have found a new obsession. time to watch every adaption I can get my hands on.

Fucked up and yet. So compelling. Understand why kate bush was obsessed with it, very shocking for the time period and so good

I had to read this for school, and this is probably the best book I've ever had to read for school. None of the characters were likable and were honestly kinda insane. However, the story was really good, as was the writing. The ending was a bit unsettling relating to Heathcliff but it added to the story. This book made me want to read more classics. Like for being written so long ago, there were some pretty funny lines.
