Despite (or perhaps because of) having deeply unlikeable characters, it's a masterpiece of psychological complexity and passionate storytelling.

Minor: Animal cruelty

The story deals with themes of revenge across generations, featuring the death of several main characters including Catherine. The abuse cycles through the generations, with Heathcliff becoming an abuser after being abused himself. The ending suggests hope for the younger generation despite the darkness that came before.

This book really was… something. Compared to Agnes Grey, this was like going from learning how to swim to diving in the middle of the ocean. This is of course a different type of book so it isn’t really a shock. I was shocked though when finding out that

the POV of this book were a Mr Lockwood and Ellen Dean, and not at the very least Catherine Linton nee Earnshaw.

It was a really interesting read and I might have rated it higher if not for

the excessive amount of incest and the constant racism and stereotyping of Romani people.

Also to the people who consider this a romance, I hear you and I somehow get you but please don’t go looking for this.
