I adored every second of this book. The relationships between characters are so well fleshed out and intricate. The way in which it explored love, longing and anguish is incredible.

Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontë

“-existence, after loosing her, would be hell.
'Yet I was a fool to fancy for a moment that she valued Edgar Linton's attachment more than mine - If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn't love as much in eighty years, as I could in a day.“

quote
Reia
Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontë

“-you fight against that devil, for love, as long as you may; when the time comes, not all the angles in heaven shall save him!“

quote
Reia
Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontë

“No mother could have nursed an only child more devotedly than Edgar tended her. Day and night, he was watching, and patiently enduring all the annoyances that irritable nerves and shaken reason could inflict [...] his health and strength were being sacrificed to preserve a mere ruin of humanity, he knew no limits in gratitude and joy, when Catherine's life was declared out of danger,“

quote
Reia
Wuthering Heights | Emily Brontë

“But Heathcliff, if I dare you now, will you venture? If you do, I'll keep you. I'll not lie there by myself; they may bury me twelve feet deep, and throw the church down over me; but I won't rest till you are with me...I never will!“

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. 3w

So much novel to screen news today!!

ChaoticMissAdventures I like Jacob Elordi but I do think they missed the mark here. Heathcliff is supposed to be Romani right? Darker, and a victim of racism. 1mo
Bookwomble Robbie is a great actor, but I don't see her as Cathy, however she *is* a great actor, so...? I've never heard of Elordi, but my first reaction to your pic was, "Well, he isn't mixed race, so they've whitewashed that rule yet again". It's so disappointing at this point in our cultural history. 1mo
Caroline2 Oh I love both these actors…. Not sure about them as Heathcliff and Cathy tho… but I‘m intrigued and want to watch it! 🧐 1mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @Bookwomble yeah, the director (Emerald Fennel) has worked with Elordi a couple of times he seems to be growing into her go to main guy. I think he is great just not for this. It isn't hard to find a not white actor for the role, I am disappointed too. And they are both Australian?? I need tortured Yorkshire actors please! 1mo

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.

What a despicable male character Heathcliff is.
I don't know why this man is romanticised. It is beyond me. All he wanted was to possess and destroy everyone around him.

“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

I finally feel caught up (for now). So I finally got around to my July wrap up. I had 5, 5 star reads!!! 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. 🥰

“You know that I want you

I want it bad, your bad romance

I want your love, and I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I want your love and all your lover's revenge
You and me could write a bad romance”

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. 1y
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 💖 1y
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. 1y

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! 😏 2y

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? 2y

This year was the first time I ever read WH. I had expected a sweeping classic romance and boy was I ever wrong.
