I have finished my first book of the year. At the beginning of this, i thought i would grow bored with this book. I read it in high school and hated it. I have re-read it and have fallen in love with it. This book is definitely one i will continue reading.
i want to state for the record, that I have in no certain order: loved, loathed, detested, hoped for, had pity on, cherished, and understood Heathcliff.
He has so many qualities that you love to hate, but you can totally understand why he acts the way he does.
I loved Cathy, at the beginning and grew to hate her, especially as she went all nuts-o, but then again, i guess Heathcliff would drive anyone to that point.
i adored Edgar. absolutely adored him. he is the picture of "good husband, good father" most girls want. i also adored Hareton, but pity him more.
Joseph is irritating, and Nelly has her moments. but i really cannot stand Linton or Hareton's dad...
i would highly recommend this to anyone. however, make sure the book you're reading has a good section of "footnotes". i could have easily been lost in Joseph's speech, especially his longer dialogues.
Emily Bronte was pure genius and the world is better for this book. of this i am fully convinced. the world was robbed of her future books thanks to her dying young.
Read it! Better yourselves!! Gain a bigger vocabulary from it!!!
