Dislikable and petty characters and a plot devoid of soppy love and/or politics and religions was incredibly shocking in the nineteenth century when this book was first published. The plot-twisting melodrama kept me from putting the book down. The complex character development is insanely original and creative. This might well be one of the most important pieces of English literature we have ever been graced with since Pride and Prejudice.
The clever literary devices, and the confusing relationship of Heathcliff and Cathy, combined with
This novel is easily a 10/10.

it takes you on a truly immense character journey spanning 3 generations and 50 years - and doesn't start coming together till the last chapter or so.
overall, completely worthy of its legendary status. I felt like honestly it could have been longer/more fleshed out at the end, that's my only critique. The wrap up of the younger generations story and the breaking of the cycle of trauma felt possibly like something EB struggled to write, or express. Which to be fair, makes sense.
