A review by lighthousebooks
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

5.0

This classic novel is an amazing study of emotions: love, hatred, revenge, jealousy, despair, anguish, isolation, guilt, selfishness. There is also a glimmer of compassion, sympathy, forgiveness, loyalty. It is dark and atmospheric and psychologically complex; so shocking that it is difficult to look away. One sees why this is considered to be one of the greatest novels of all time. 

The story is an interesting study of what happens when we allow emotions to be our god. When we fix our minds on ourselves, our feelings, our problems, peace escapes us. But when we fix our minds on God and trust in Him, perfect peace is ours regardless of our circumstances (Isaiah 26:3). 

Lack of peace is profoundly illustrated in the last chapter. Chilling! 😱

I listened to the Spotify Audiobook narrated by Billie Fulford-Brown. It was brilliant and I highly recommend it. I also followed along in a Duke Classics text.
