Is this actually a masterpiece?

>> No.13023346

It's *her* masterpiece. Not sure if it's *a* masterpiece in the whole of literature.

its ass

i don't get why people enjoy it. Heathcliff is definitely an interesting character, but the narration is so bogged down by victorian excess that its just a fucking migrane to read. Every nuance I could hear being worth discussing in it are just smothered by how much wordjizz is all over the fucking thing.

Its boring. Its cumbersome. Its snuffs its own positive qualities.

E. Brönte can get fucked in the ass.

I had the exact opposite experience. Does it come close to the heights of such books as Don Quixote and Ulysses? No, but it's a fantastic book in it's own right, and definitely within the top 100 of world literature

No. Narrator's personality I don't really like

It is, but I think it's kind of a mess in terms of structure. Having a narrator within a narrator creates too much emotional distance.

I hated the book when I first read it, but I can only think back on it fondly now.
