"Wuthering Heights" is the intense love story between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and an analysis of what happens when love is denied. Catherine and Heathcliff cannot initially be together, and they both handle this situation in differing ways.
This story was filled with so much passion with a unique look at character development, I now understand why it is so beloved and has maintained its standing as a classic. Catherine's intense love for Heathcliff is nothing short of sobering, while Heathcliff's obsession with Catherine drives him utterly mad. Their story was equal measures beautiful and devastating.
I also quite enjoyed how this story is presented to the reader. Catherine's and Heathcliff's story is told by people from the outside, which gives a unique look at their situation. This type of narrative feels more detached and creates a more objective feel for what is being told.
I really enjoyed this novel, and I think it was the perfect thought-provoking story to kick off my 2024 reading.
Moderate: Chronic illness and Death
