Honestly, I'm shocked at how much I actively disliked this from start to finish. It was slow, boring, confusing, and offensive throughout. I struggled to find the motivation to continue past the first 3 chapters, mostly because I don't care one whit for Mr. Lockwood and have never been given a reason to care, and then the rest of the book was confusing with too many characters and hardly any sense. Heathcliffe is a horrible person, just completely and utterly despicable, and honestly almost every character in this except for poor Catherine is a bad person. I don't like who she ended up with because he's also a bad person, and I don't care for anything this story had to say. The idea that Heathcliffe and the first Catherine are in heaven together or whatever is nonsense because bro is undoubtedly in hell.
