Catherine surrenders to the expectations of her class and sets off a domino effect with lasting consequences.

My second time reading Wuthering Heights. I figured as I was finally reading some of Charlotte and Anne for the first time, that I would re-read my favourite. After having read Jane Eyre and Agnes Grey, I would conclude that the other stories are probably slightly better written, however, I just think the story of Wuthering Heights trumps all others. The depth and darkness is unmatched and there are passages that are unlike anything I‘ve read.

“Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”

― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

OutsmartYourShelf It's a bit cheesy but I love the 1992 version of Wuthering Heights with Ralph Fiennes & Juliette Binoche.

I was a little confused at the beginning, mainly because of the characters that are introduced all at once, but once I got into the story it all became much clearer.

The plot of this book is just crazy and that‘s the genius of it. I don‘t know how Emily Bronte came up with this story but it‘s insane. The more I read, the wilder it got. My mind is still reeling

It was a great month with being able to sit and read while my kids either played outside, watched their favorite shows, or played nicely in their room. Knowing that I‘m not going to read as much as this, now that I‘m back to work is sad, but so glad I get to be in a few buddy reads. 🥰💛

5✨ I first read this in high school and enjoyed its writing. I‘m pretty sure I never finished it then. There is a lot of similar of reused names so it was a little hard to follow. There is a lot of abuse written in here for the children. Others are trying to break the cycle. There is love and companionship through their suffering. Another Serial read that I had to finish early. 🥰

Da fuck was that! Someone care to explain to me why this is tagged as "Romance"? ??? I don't think so! ?

In the 6 months I've taken to read it, according to Mrs B I've done nothing but complain how horrendous all the characters are (other than Nellie Dean: Victoria Wood in my mental casting ?). I finished the last 20% in one go today, mainly while picnicking at Rufford Old Hall to finally get it over with, and thank goodness, it's done! ?⬇️

Palimpsest I finally read this a couple of years ago and would have initially liked it better if I hadn‘t expected romance and the characters weren‘t so awful. I watched the 1939 film version since then which helped me appreciate it more and I know I‘ll eventually reread it. 10mo
Bookwomble @Aimeesue I did an internet search to check if Victoria has actually played the part, wondering if I'd seen it and forgotten, but not so. A pity as I think she would have been brilliant as Nellie. So sadly missed 💖 10mo
Bookwomble @Palimpsest I'm sure I've seen that film over the years, though I haven't retained much memory of it. I do have the impression that it made less of the abusive element and played up the romance, but I may be misremembering. 10mo

So exciting to see a favorite book on stage & this production—both incredible AND something else—which comes from a renowned group of UK theatres was a treat. By turns engrossing & head shaking, it was fun seeing the story of Catherine & Heathcliff played out on stage in a production that included puppets, a Greek Chorus, singing, dancing, & yes, even a short rock interlude. I don‘t know if there are other US stops but it‘s an entertaining show.

I've seen a few reviews complaining about Nelly Dean as the narrator, saying this structural remove of the events to a past mediated by a third party is distancing, but I'm finding her role fascinating. Nelly seems to be in contention with Cathy's tendency to distort and filter reality; she seeks to help Cathy see others as beings with their own intention and agency, rather than as objects moving through her own perceptual field and existing ⬇️

Bookwomble ... only in relation to her. I'm only 40% in, but so far Nelly stands out as the existential hero of the book, self-aware and striving to liberate others. Knowing something of the end (first read, but a culturally-embedded text), it's a tragically unsuccessful effort, which makes Nelly's travail all the more courageous. Though further reading may make bollocks of all this! 😏 14mo

Whilst this isn't usually my favoured genre, I've heard so many people rave about this gothic romance tragedy, so I've always been intrigued. The drama in this book was so woefully written and I enjoyed the tense atmosphere between all the characters. Heathcliff was such an interesting yet dislikeable character, utterly obsessed with Catherine. The direction of the story towards the end wasn't how I would have liked it, but still worth the read!

Well, it's certainly not before time that I read Wuthering Heights given how much I love both Kate Bush and Victorian gothic. This edition is from a set of books by the Brontë sisters that I bought Mrs. B on one of our visits to the Brontë Parsonage in Haworth, which is nifty.
There's an 1850 preface by Charlotte in which she seeks to justify the novel's perceived shortcomings, but which to me reads like a sustained dig at Emily. I'm sure that ⬇️

Bookwomble ... wasn't her intention, but she does seems to double-down on some of the criticisms. Still, how better to start the year than with a dour and doomed romance? 1y

I read this novel long time ago. I forgot how terrible Mr Heathcliff was and how dysfunctional, violent, co-dependent these relations were. But thinking about the author, how brave she was to write in a novel about these topics was incredible and she was young. I think I need to re-read it in the future after maybe read more about the author. I will need, of course, another beautiful edition. I read the Thomas Nelson edition. 4⭐️

I've read some crazy books, but this was... indescribable. A good book, but damn were those characters horrible and some a bit dumb. Felt exasperated here and there. The things that went on, unpunished.. Kate Bush' song was perfect, it fit so well and gave me some much needed lightness to persevere. They're not pretty, but I do enjoy the Penguin Popular Classics.

This is probably one of my favorite classics. The novel was so well-written. I enjoyed all the characters, even Heathcliff surprisingly, but my favorites were Mrs. Dean and Hareton. The relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine was beautiful and yet disastrous. I was so engrossed in wanting to learn everything about Heathcliff, I couldn‘t put the novel down. In some sickly twisted way, I really enjoyed his character. Overall, wonderful read.
