read in french - few first chapters can be discouraging about pursing the lecture. keep going (even if Lockwood is annoying asf). you will not like the characters and maybe i'm a psycopath but i liked to see how much they kept diving into their vices and basseness. besides, miss cathy will make you want to know the end word.
advice : if you are about to read it, find a version with preface and context, it will help you to understand the context in which Emily Brönte wrote it. i can not deny it : there is mysoginy, psychologic violence and also physical (described with harsh distance). despite this, you are obliged to admit the genius of Emily Brönte and how she achieved to create such discomfort and an heavy and dark atmoshphere surrounded by a, how i felt, quite cottagecore aesthetic.
