Almost the entire book is told from the perspective of an unreliable narrator who was openly hostile towards Heathcliff, so we can never really know if Heathcliff was really as evil as he was, or if Catherine was as crazy as she was, and that’s what makes it so good. By the end, you’re not even sure if anything you read really happened the way the maid said it happened.

the author for having a confusing naming scheme

Gondal forever

I don't know but the old manservant is clearly the only one who was right about anything

(You) for reading such a shit book tbqh

I just bought a copy of this for (equivalent to) 3 USD on clearance. I know nothing about it. Is it worth reading or should I just let it sit on my shelf?

Hollywood was primarily in the wrong for making such a bad film of it.

Between Heathcliffe and Cathy, they were roughly equally right/wrong. They have strength, honesty and capacity to love, but they also have an overwhelming aggressiveness which is self-destructive.

Joseph is cardboard comic relief.

Nelly Dean isn't as nice as some people think.

The narrator (Lockwood) is a mommy's boy piece of crap.

Edgar Linton is a useless liberal.

Isabella is useless although probably doesn't deserve quite such a harsh fate as befalls her.

The only two worth anything are Catherine Linton & Hareton. The genetics are reasonable in that both of them got mostly the good parts of reach parent. They end up together and with a decent chance of happiness. So it's not a tragic work, in the end.

If you like tragedy where almost every character has some horrible thing happen to them, with a twinge of gothic horror and a tiny bit of the supernatural, then give it a shot. It may be popularly seen as a romance novel, but that’s not really the focus of the plot. It’s really about revenge and the lengths people go to get even, more than anything else.

How could femcel write about relationships lmao

Heathcliff, but he atoned in the end.

Emily was a quiet, but highly observant girl for her age. Her other sisters thought she had some kind of mental deficiency, and the fact that she may have be autistic is likely. She used what she observed from family members and other guests in her father’s house to formulate the characters in Wuthering Heights.

Checked. I have to take issue with this, though:
>Her other sisters thought she had some kind of mental deficiency,
Ann just relied on Emily 100%, but probably didn't understand her. Charlotte knew very well that Emily was twice the person and artist that she herself was.

Charlotte was definitely jealous of Emily’s talent, but I think that’s all she was jealous of. Charlotte was the typical social girl, and Emily the shy recluse. Ann and Charlotte just couldn’t understand Emily, even when Ann and Emily spent so much time together. Even if Charlotte tried to get to know Emily better, it didn’t seem to have worked out from Charlotte’s own writings. Charlotte even tried to “correct” some of the things she disagreed with in Wuthering Heights in the later edition, so she didn’t seem to have too high an opinion of Emily’s talent, even if deep down she knew Emily was more talented than her.
