So very disappointing!<br />In light of your review perhaps I should reread it with a view to Gothic horror and maybe I would get more out of it.Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735223299018836451.post-23593703311278277602013-04-27T10:56:08.111+01:002013-04-27T10:56:08.111+01:00I knew he wasn't but I really wanted Heathclif...I knew he wasn't but I really wanted Heathcliff to be deep down chivalrous and beautiful, and I wanted to adore Cathy.

It's always bothered me that Wuthering Heights is regarded as a romance when it really reads more like an obsessive power play. And Heathcliff and both Cathy 1 & 2 were quite unsympathetic characters, with Cathy 1 being a rather silly woman.
