I was dissapointed by this. The only saving graces were the occasionally interesting moments caused by the frame of the story, and some beautiful descriptions of innocent love and children. Mostly though, I thought the thing was a cartoonish slog. It's like a retarded English alternative to Madame Bovary. Flaubert is a much more beautiful writer, which much more psychological skill. I will admit that the last sentence of Wuthering Heights was beautiful. No idea why this is so praised

Also I don't get the 'gothic' praise for this. It would have been better if it was actually gothic, it barely was

>even a mocking green text can’t be bothered to summarise the last 150 pages
Why does the discourse around this book always ignore half of it? The only other example of can think of is Merchant of Venice where everyone ignores the last act, and I understand the motivation for that, and it’s only about 15% of the text.
But why pretend Wuthering Heights is some great masterpiece when at least half of it is so boring it always gets ignored when they adapt it?

Goths are into doomy shit. That's all.

I have no idea why it is considered a masterpiece
