    A Haunting Love Story

    Terry Smith

    10 months ago

    Emily Bronte skillfully creates a tale of thwarted love and undying passion. In the dark, gloomy setting of the moors, two characters fall deeply in love with one another, which serves as the catalyst for the events in the rest of the novel. The first half of the book shows the powerful romance between Catherine and Healthcliff, while the second half involves Catherine's daughter and a boy named Hareton Earnshaw. Although the characters are well-developed, none of them are likeable and are full of faults. What is endearing about them however, is their capacity to love. A reader can even feel sympathy for the cold-hearted and brutal Heathcliff, whose affection for Catherine began from childhood and ended at death. It is an amazing read and a tragic classic that will touch any reader.

    This was my third or fourth go round with this remarkable classic, which, for me, rates right up there with Hardy's Jude the Obscure. There is a richness of character development here, a taught arc of plot. Bronte creates such complex characters that you both love and detest, and in the end she forges a tragedy that has earned its right in classic literature. Like Hardy, she runs an undercurrent of environment, almost as a background character, that shapes and influences both protagonists and plot. And while the plot's denouement is predictable, that predictability acts as tension, reinforcing the futility of escaping both the nature of one's environment, and the nature of one's basic character.

    For me it is a staple of our library, and should be for any true lover of literature.

    Another treat for my mind! If you have never read a classic before, you might want to try this one first. You'll either love it or hate it. Personally, I love it.

    Every character is flawed. I would call this a heart wrenching, vindictive romance. It's full of blind love, undying hate, cruelty, selfishness, disdain, violence, suspense, revenge... so many true emotions flow through these pages.

    I certainly did not find it in the least boring. But this is only my opinion, you will have to decide for yourself...

    Wuthering Heights

    If you enjoy good, thought-provoking literature that simultaneously confuses and enlightens you, you will definitely enjoy this classic Victorian novel. Rich, intriguing characters generate conflicting feelings of love and hatred. They are both grotesque and romantic, vicious and tragic, torturers and victims. The story's twists and turns will leave you bewildered - and fascinated.

About the Author

Emily Bronte, the sister of Charlotte, shared the same isolated childhood on the Yorkshire moors. Emily, however, seems to have been much more affected by the eerie desolation of the moors than was Charlotte. Her one novel, Wuthering Heights (1847), draws much of its power from its setting in that desolate landscape. Emily's work is also marked by a passionate intensity that is sometimes overpowering. According to English poet and critic Matthew Arnold, "for passion, vehemence, and grief she had no equal since Byron." This passion is evident in the poetry she contributed to the collection (Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell) published by the Bronte sisters in 1846 under male pseudonyms in response to the prejudices of the time. Her passion reached far force, however, in her novel, Wuthering Heights. Bronte's novel defies easy classification. It is certainly a story of love, but just as certainly it is not a "love story". It is a psychological novel, but is so filled with hints of the supernatural and mystical that the reader is unsure of how much control the characters have over their own actions. It may seem to be a study of right and wrong, but is actually a study of good and evil. Above all, it is a novel of power and fierce intensity that has gripped readers for more than 100 years.
