Wuthering Heights

Fantastisk bog

Wuthering Heights af Emily Brontë er en meget intens og mørk kærlighedshistorie med meget drama og toxic vibes. Stemningen er god og dramatisk og nogle af karaktererne kan være ret frustrerende og svære at holde af.

"they may bury me twelve feet deep and throw the church down on me but I won't rest till you are with me."

This book was difficult for me to give a rating. The writing is lovely, I really enjoyed it. Even though the romance and love between Heathcliff and Cathy was next level obsessive. The words and the way they speak about, the love they feel I very well written. I can feel their deep and weird love for each other through the words. The thing that makes it so difficult to love is the fact, that the characters are so unlikeable. I did feel bad for Heathcliff and some of the other characters at first But it didn't take long, before they just became terrible. Heathcliff is a terrible human being, Cathy is so calculated and manipulative and Linton (Heathcliff's son) is just pathetic. I liked how the plot got more and more gothic, the more obsessed Heathcliff became. The fact that he bribed the sexton, and opened Cathy's grave, so he could have a spot next to her, is more disturbing than romantic. I did overall have a great time but it did take a while to get through. It is not a favorite of the few classics I have read. Jane Austen is still at the top but I did really appreciate, how different the setting and the social aspects was, in comparison. I would for sure tell people to read it no hesitation, it was by no means, a waste of time.

Wuthering Heights

En tidløs historie, der i sin tid forståeligt nok var ret chokerende. Emily Brönte var virkelig forud for sin tid, da hun skrev denne klassiker. Jeg kan stadig ikke forstille mig eller forstå, hvordan hun kunne flette så mange ting ind i én historie. Bogen tager fat på mange vigtige temaer som klasseforskelle, racisme og transgenerationel vold. Jeg tror ikke, at Wuthering heights er en kærlighedshistorie, selvom Cathrines og Heathcliffs kærlighed til hinanden var meget tydelig. Jeg vil hellere sige at deres kærlighed blev født på grund af deres omstændigheder, og da den voksede, blev den besiddende, giftig og destruktiv. I virkeligheden ender Heathcliff og Catherine med at ødelægge sig selv, og dem omkring dem. Jeg tror aldrig jeg har læst noget lignende før, men denne historie er den slags, jeg ville læse igen og igen.
