I've never read a classic with such fucked up characters who hate each other so much with such petty drama. Characters who are also dying off every other page over their drama and nerves. It was quite awesome. Heathcliff is the most unredeemable asshole you could imagine. These people are pulling each other's hair and snipping at each other and crying on stairways. It's more entertaining than romance, but be warned they do this for the entire book.
Still, props to Emily for letting these creatures loose on the world. I hope the last two standing find some happiness together.

I found Wuthering Heights to be incredibly difficult and unpleasant to read. Emily Brontë definitely succeeded in creating horrible unlikable characters. I was also deeply sickened by the violence and some of the descriptions of cruelty, especially against animals.
