Pretty good for a w*men writer

One of the best novels ever, don't listen to he's a massive faggot.

A great novel ruined by it's schizophrenic structure.

Kinda sexy desu

I found the emotion bretty good, I mean she has ideas for how to tug at your hearstrings and make you feel shitty.

An old man bringing home an orphan and telling everyone "lol love him like your brother" yeah grandpa, sure. *kicks him to the curb and reminds him he's a faggot gypsy who has no inheritance.
And especially her "Lol your protector died, time to fuck you up" like Jesus that's savage.

Uhh but aside from the tragic emotional stuff she's shit at providing an aura of charm, argumenting poetry as more than fluff, making her characters mature, doesn't have any contrast between beauty and tragedy.

The characters seemed exceptionally dimwitted and mentally retarded. I mean basic traditional rednecks, basic immature obsessive compulsive rednecks with no maturity in them.

The story outside of the 2 characters is pretty non existent and Heathcliff acts more like a supporting character to Catherine, rather than a deuteragonist. There is no ideal, no morality, no implicit agency from the secondary characters, no backstory for Heathcliff.

I only watched the movie. Did the movie also skip the parts where Heathcliff runs away to earn his fortune and "helps" out Catherine's brother with his debts by buying the house? In the movie he mentions what he's up to for 2 years, instead of the director making it a part of the movie's content.

Did the book also skip the parts where Heathcliff fucks off for 2 years*

you should read Villette

It's great. I have a hard time comprehending why some people classify it as a romance book. Like what the fuck?

Wuthering Heights is my favourite pleb filter. 200 years later and romance readers are still BTFO by it every day.

>Man I wish Emily Bronte was my gf!

The white dress video is better

Yeah the book doesn't really go into detail as to what Heathcliff did while he was gone, as far as I remember. I do seem to recall that it was a lot longer than 2 years, though. It was enough time for everyone to think that he had just died somewhere

forced to read it for school when I was 13.
Hated it.

Aside from this user, do you anons have anything interesting to comment or mention about?

the book specifically leaves his absence up to conjecture, only that it made him significantly more dangerous and shrewd

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you, too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in through your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in through your window
Ooh, it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back, love
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream
My only master
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in through your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in through your window
Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in through your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in through your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold

It was ok
I preferred Jane Eyre

Well, the book is definitely a classic. It's a tragic romance, brought about by the societal expectations of the times. Catherine felt that the greatest love she could show to Heathcliff was letting him go and marrying someone else, so that he wouldn't be persecuted by people who felt him to be an unsuitable match for her. The character of Catherine is very much semi-autobiographical, in the same way that Stephen is of James Joyce. Emily herself was disillusioned when it came to the society of her time, and like Catherine just wanted to run off into the moors and live out her fantasy world. Whether that is due to her upbringing and the world around her, or a deeper mental issue is up to your interpretation. The point is that the novel is both a tragic painting of both the author herself, and of the characters who she used to show her ideals and their impossibility to live in this world.

The other user kinda misses the point when it comes to Heathcliff. The absence of his back story, to both us and the characters in the novel, is what made him charming, and shows Emily's want for something foreign and unknown; something exotic and different from the hypocritical God fearing, stiff aristocratic society that surrounded and suffocated her. Heathcliff was her prince of the moors, her escape. His name itself, with the implication of heath, expresses uncultivation. Maturity, and as it implied at the time, upholding of societal norms, was what Emily wanted to avoid entirely. They acted on their impulses rather than keeping a cool head, because that was preferable to having a stick up their ass like everyone around them. Nelly is seen as the contrast to this; she idly watches the people around her quite literally beaten down, and spiral into madness, because she refused to do anything that wasn't expected of someone of her station.

The book was a product of someone who lived inside their head for their entire life. It was hated during her time, very vehemently, and didn't gain the recognition it deserved until after her death.

heard from my favorite irish twink book review guy that it slaps
