Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontë
post image
Pickpick


When I was reading Wuthering Heights, I felt a sense of a dark, 🌩🌌stormy night, gloomy candlelight🕯, and vivid illustrations that made it all play out like a movie in my mind.Heathcliff‘s this deep, messed-up guy you just can‘t forget, and Catherine‘s torn between what she feels and what the world expects. Their love is wild, complicated, and kinda haunting.

Ruthiella So over the top! 😂 3mo
BkClubCare @Ruthiella - people have been messy over-reacting humans since time immortal? That is what I come to understand when I read classics. 3mo
Ruthiella @BkClubCare Well, I do think that Emily Brontë turned it up to 11! ? 3mo

Wuthering Heights | Bronte Emily
post image

So, one of the categories for the #ReadICT (City of Wichita KS) Reading Challenge is a book that scares me.

I have been fearful of this book. For. Ever? A long time?! I was dismissive of the “girl authors” when I was a snotty snob in HS decades ago and NOW, honestly, them Bronte sisters scare me! 😳 I listened to Jane Eyre (Thandie Newton 🌟) and ❤️‘d it. Will WH give me the same reaction?

LoverOfLearning Hmmm. These books are a bit different. Jane Eyre feels much slower and more character based, whereas WH is a bit more Gothic, quicker paced and more focused on the theme/plot itself not just the characters. Hope this helps. Give it a shot. The audiobook was pretty good. But there many different audios so find one where you like the narrarators voice best. 3mo
Ruthiella Agreed with @LoverOfLearning Emily Brontë‘s style is very different from Charlotte‘s. I‘d also try the audio, not only because there is at least one character who speaks entirely in Yorkshire dialect. ? 3mo
LoverOfLearning @Ruthiella yes exactly! Ha. But I did enjoy both of these books! Not my favorite of the classics world but definitely worthy. 3mo

Tamra WH is one of my all time favorites! ❤️ 3mo
BkClubCare @LoverOfLearning I am definitely going audio. I have done enough research (too much?!) of these books that have only added to me trepidation. I did not mean to imply that JE and WH are similar- only that I feared both, in their own way. 3mo
BkClubCare @Ruthiella - I *ADORE* the classics via audio. I hope that I have fabulous experience 😊 3mo
BkClubCare @Tamra - that is part of my irrational “fear” so many have loved it, and so many have said that their stage-in-life affects their reaction. Kinda wonder if I am “too late” 3mo
Tamra @BkClubCare it seems to be polarizing because it is about people behaving badly. 😬 Go into it curious and try to let go of expectations. It‘s okay if you don‘t like it! 3mo
LoverOfLearning @Tamra agree! Go into it as if you know nothing. I found it interesting thinking about how differently we respond to heartbreak and societal differences today. 3mo
Readerann I don‘t remember too much about how I felt about the characters - but I DO remember how much I loved the writing . 3mo
Lcsmcat If you remember WH is not a love story but a revenge story you‘ll get more out of it. (edited) 3mo
BkClubCare @Readerann - it‘s a classic for a reason. For this, I am looking fwd. and why audio is my choice cc 3mo
BkClubCare @Lcsmcat - good to know 👍 3mo
Suet624 I read it years ago - decades ago - and loved it. 3mo
TheLudicReader Do it! 3mo

My first time reading this, I was under the impression this was a romance 💀 , I was really surprised how much I disliked everyone, I really hated Heathcliff, he was so UNRELENTING. Great ending, great gothic tale of revenge. I‘m happy about Cathy and Hareton. I want to watch an adaptation now but there are so many, what‘s the best adaptation? Grateful for any suggestions!🖤

Balibee146 I haven't read this book in probably 30 years...Long overdue for a re read. I tend to like TV adaptations as th longer format gives the story room to play out. There's one from 2009 with Tom Hardy which I'm sure I enjoyed ta the time. 8mo
Balibee146 Arghhh typos lol 🤦 8mo
Balibee146 Oh and I do love the oldest movie with Laurence Olivier clunky by modern standards but special 8mo
reading_rainbow @Balibee146 Tom Hardy!? Thank you I will look and see if it‘s to stream anywhere! 8mo
Tamra One of my favorites!! 8mo
