5.0 out of 5 stars My Review of Wuthering Heights, March 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Wuthering Heights (Bloom's Reviews) (Paperback)

When Cathy's father brings home a dirty orphan, she doesn't know what to think. She comes to know the boy and befriends him, while her brother treats him badly. A couple months later, Cathy's father dies, and her brother is left head of the house. He makes Heathcliff, the boy who was taken in, a servant. As they get older Cathy and Heathcliff fall in love. Until one day, Cathy goes away and doesn't come back for a while. When she finally comes back to visit, she has fallen in love with Edgar Linton, a rich, upperclass man. This makes Heathcliff extremely jealous. When Cathy is lying on her deathbed, she tells Heathcliff she loves him, and when she dies Heathcliff tells her to haunt him and never leave him. This story is a great tale of undying love and the extents people will go for the one they love. The story had many interesting twists, but the ending left me satisfied.

This review is from: Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights (Bloom's Notes) (Paperback)

hey well this book is obviously for those who have matured enough to experience true love or at least understand the power of it. if you can't appreciate this book, you are either a high schooler forced to read it by your english teacher or a person who has not found THE ONE. once your situation changes, re-read this. it's worth it.
