Wuthering Heights


Title: Wuthering Heights
Author: Emily Brontë
Number of pages: 279

Heathcliff and Catherine...Two lovers seperated because of their social status.
Being brought to the Earnshaw family as an abandoned child, Heathcliff develops a most intimitate relationship with Catherine Earnshaw, while the resentment of her brother Hindley grows towards him day by day.Taking the first opportunity offered to him, Hindley banishes Heathcliff from a member of the family to a working stable boy.Consequently,Heathcliff's social status becomes inequivalent to Catherines' and so, she eventually marries the rich Linton, dismissing her feelings towards Heathcliff.
How will Heathcliff's reaction be to all of this?
Wuthering Heights...a novel of passion,heartache,and vengeance.

Further comments:
While reading this story, I was feeling depressed,angry,and resentful to some of the characters actions.At the beginning, I thought that meant that I didn't like the novel,but after giving it a thought it all made sense.Emily Brontë narrated this novel so eloquently that it delivereds to the reader the exact feelings the characters go throught.Amazing!
