Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

4 days ago 11

I finished "Wuthering Heights" about an hour ago. what a book it was! it's the first time in my life that I both loved and hated the book at the same time..

how beautifully it was written. I'm amazed by Emily's prose. and the narration of the whole story by Mrs. Dean was so good that I wasn't able to put the book away.

before starting the book, I had seen a lot of videos about it, being considered as one of the great romance. but I think it's not a romance.. it's something dark, but I can not name it.

every single character in the book was toxic.. at some point I was literally shaking while reading Heathcliff's cruel behavior to Hareton, Catherine, and Linton.. he was just a fiend who wanted to take revenge of the death of his love, Catherine Earnshaw. but, such ruthlessness..

from time to time, I was thinking about giving up reading it because every time when I turned the pages, it was getting worse. but somehow I felt sorry for Heathcliff. besides his cruelty, there was an endless love inside of him. how he would be if he married with Cathy..

still don't understand tho, why he married with Isabella, and why he treated his OWN SON Linton so awfully. he seemed like a villain, having no feeling nor pity for people except Catherine. but why..

and lastly I want to mention that how different Charlotte's and Emily's styles are. reading Wuthering Heights after Jane Eyre was like stepping into another world - darker, and soulless.

but it definitely worth reading and I enjoyed the book very much. ig now it's time to read a book from Anne Brontë, to see how her writing style was.
