Wuthering Heights: My Reaction

Though I cannot say Wuthering Heights was necessarily enjoyable, I can say that it was much more livable than other possibilities that we shan't speak of at this point. I didn't want to burn the book...so that's a definite improvement. I found Heathcliff very irritating. Some people say that he was the hero of the novel, and frankly I just cannot see that. He was flat out evil... like if he was a modern day dude he'd be the evil scientist rubbing his hands together in that evil scientist-y way and cackling *Mwahahahahaha!* Evil scientists can be cool, but Heathcliff simply would not. Linton....that kid. Oh my gosh. I wanted to throw a brick at his sickly little head and call it a day. Catherine travels miles every night, in secret no less!, just to see his sorry self. What does he do? He's a jerk face and makes her feel miserable almost every time. Then, even after he tells her that loves her, he basically gives her up to his evil scientist dad in order to save himself. True love right there...that was sarcasm for the record. That's just about the falsest love I've ever heard of. Nelly is pretty much the only redeeming character of this novel. She seems to be the only one trying to make life an enjoyable existence for others, not just herself. As I said, I didn't want to burn the book, but still....
