As a whole, which is the better novel: Wuthering Heights or The Picture of Dorian Grey?

Dorian Grey.

Whimsy homo-erotica is so much better than whiney women.

What's the point of this thread?

Trying to see how many trolls say Wuthering Heights?

>> No.1918385

Not to be contrary, but I liked Wuthering Heights better.

I found the characters more engaging and preferred the overall writing style. While I like Wilde in general I thought 'Portrait' was boringly predictable; 'Heights' wasn't much better, mind you, but there were fewer 'sletched in' characters.

Just one man's opinion.

Doesn't ask why Wilde is better, but asks why Bronte is. Why?

these two books were my summer reading going into my sophmore level english class a few years ago in HS.

anyway, I preferred Grey.

Because I found Wuthering Heights to be dull, boring and unimaginative.
Dorian Grey is by far the better novel.
