For those who believe this is a romance, it is not, and I pray for those misguided.
This is a dark gothic tragedy, each turn of the plot is filled with dark sorrow. It tells the story of repeated cycles of abuse and the different characters as they live and die through it. Each suffer pain and inflict it, only little sparks of hope carry the reader through this tragedy. The love for Catherine that ties the novel together is not a great romance but a twisted dark tale.
It has been excellently written by Emily Brontë, an author who felt such tragedy during her life and after her death. Wuthering Heights is both a horrible trial and a pleasure to read.
Tip: if you have never heard a thick rural yorkshire accent, I recommended looking up videos of old yorkshire poetry before attempting reading (and butchering) Joesph’s accent.

now, the things i didnt love about the book: the part of the book where the affair between catherine linton and linton is dealt with is just dragged on for too long…they should have been left side characters rather than create a new generation of protagonists. also, heathcliff is literally an abomination of a human and his violence really made me cry, BUT THEN every time he talks about catherine i see him as a person again. damn your genius miss brontë.
