I read this book about a month a go, and I picked it up on my iBooks for my iphone. Since the new upgrade for the iPhone iBooks was free, so I figured I would try it out (thinking who's gonna read a whole book on their phone?). Also, I thought that I had read this in high school, but once I started reading it, I realized that I hadn't.
From the moment I started reading it on my iPhone screen, I couldn't put it down. I literally read it and walked everywhere. I finished in a 2 days, which I haven't done with a book in quite some time.
The story between Heathcliff and Cathrine is one that is all consuming and fatal. I can't help but to love how Emily's raw depiction of mental and physical abuse and cruelty and reality of the 1500s and situation, digs into you as you read until you are hanging on each line to discover how the fearsome love story will end! It's like Poe and Austin clash, and bring you into a world governed by formality of sensibility, yet driven and lived in the gritty reality of the times!
The characters are so well created. They have terrible flaws, which despite feeling sympathetic for their situations, I felt that the cruel behavior exhibited by most of the characters, Heathcliff, Catherine, and Mr Earnshaw, that I was left feeling baffled at the relationship. I admired the passion and undying love that Heathcliff had for Catherine, but the relationship was so volatile and violent, I was taken aback by the uncaring behavior they both exhibited when it concerned all others involved in their love circle. Poor Edgar Linton, yet he was unable to stop himself from loving such a wild and lovely creature such as Catherine, in the end his weak and loving manner towards Catherine, gave way to his loss of everything he loved dearly. And Heathcliff, to love or hate him? Easy to hate him for his actions and manners are obsessive and violent; but isn't that what is also so appealing about him? Such a drama and page turner, it kept me reading line to line until I finally saw it to the end! Oh I loved it!
What are you opinions??
Do you love or despise Heathcliff? What did you love or hate about the story? If you haven't read, for me, it's a must read!!
