Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is a timeless love story about Catherine and Heathcliff. To be honest, when i first started reading Wuthering Heights I had no idea what was going on. I couldn't figure out that it was a flashback, and all of the characters were getting mixed up in my head because they were all referred to by multiple names, for example Catherine was always called "Catherine," "Cathy,""Linton,"and "Mrs. Linton." The reason that was so difficult was because there were other characters with the names "Linton" and "Mrs. Linton." I found it difficult to follow which one was being talked about. I also thought that the way it was narrated was unclear, because I couldn't tell if it was Mrs. Dean or Mr. Lockwood narrating, due to the fact that she was telling him stories and he would interject randomly, and then it would switch back to Mrs. Dean narrating the book. After a while, I started putting the pieces together and was able to figure out what was going on. I quickly became absorbed into the story and the idea of the eternal yet forbidden love that Heathcliff and Catherine had. Edgar Linton would have been the "right" match for Cathy, but Heathcliff, though he was the servant of Cathy and her family, was exactly what she wanted. I didn't like Cathy very much though, because she let her class influence her until it was too late. Despite the fact that she and Edgar Linton were married, she told Mrs. Dean "I am Heathcliff." The story of Wuthering Heights is a tragic, tear-jerking novel that I would strongly recommend to anyone who is up for the challenge of reading it.
