Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Synopsis:

This is a fictional story and follows the tumultuous love story between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, set against the background of the Yorkshire moors. The themes include love and obsession, class, revenge, and social mobility.

Review:

Although I enjoyed the love story between Heathcliff and Catherine, I found it to be difficult to read because of the old English style of language it was written in and found it to be tedious.

“Wuthering Heights is the name of Mr. Heathcliff’s dwelling. ‘Wuthering’ being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather.”

“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

“My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary.”
