"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!"
This book defines me. I love it. People say it's a love story, but I think above all it's a book of passion (in every respect). I want to buy every single edition I can get my hands on.
Again, I should be studying, but I was on chapters.ca and I started reading reviews for my favourite books. I came across this one which made me laugh so hard I was almost crying.

Unfortunately, no. This isn't a joke. Ok, I don't even know what to say...this pretty much speaks for itself. Yeah, I'm sure a person of your incredible intellect is going to be able to appreciate the genius of Emily Bronte's writing. To reinforce, there is this:

O_o Right...what? Note a complete lack of any proper grammar. I am praying that this person is a bit illiterate or something. And don't even get me started on this new Twilight fandom.
I just needed to rant, and it's better here than losing control and screaming at the poor person.
I myself don't get the Twilight thing either. I'm reading the first one right now. I like the book as entertainment, but in no way do I feel like it has great quality as a piece of literature.
ReplyDeleteI personally adored Wuthering Heights. Opinions about it seem to be pretty extreme. Either you love it or you hate it. 50/50 and split right down the middle! One of the biggest complaints I hear is that it's not a love story. People go in to read the "greatest love story of all time" and set themselves up for disappointment. I went in without listening to what others told me before so I could decide what kind of story it was for myself. I believe it is a love story. Love stories do not have to be happy or romantic. They can be bitter. They can be about death and rejection. Rejection is a part of love, so a story about rejection can very well be a love story. I believe that it is a bitter love story. Afterall, Heathcliff did everything he did for the love of a woman, Catherine.
I actually wrote a blog-post about this yesterday! (I was looking for a good book cover and a link on Google images led me here-hope you don't mind me using the cover!)
