I'll admit, I avoided this one for a long time because I'd heard it was a depressing love story. Then, I recently started seeing it pop up on posts about gothic horror and heard that it had dark and disturbing moments. This was enough to pique my curiosity and get me reading. And it is certainly a dark and disturbing gothic love story. It is filled with characters I love to hate, which just goes to show how incredibly well written it is. Honestly, I was hoping for a much more depressing ending, but overall I'm glad I finally read this classic.

“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

Um livro negro e trágico, das personagens às suas acções e a todo o ambiente em redor.

This was my first time rereading one of my all time favorite books since I first read it for High School required reading my senior year. I remember how at that time it felt like there weren't as many good books out (I had yet to discover Sarah J Maas, or I heard of her but her books were too expensive and I was poor and didn't go to the library) and then came this book. This was probably the first book ever I was required to read for school that I actually loved. I loved the language and how such a monster could be seen as so enticing. And rereading it again, even though I say that the Twilight series is probably what started me down that road of mysterious and edgy heroes, Wuthering Heights was the bigger catalyst to it. Because Heathcliff it messed up. Like grave robbing to be near Cathy messed up. Its astounding but very interesting and still enticing. I wanted to reread it once again after all of the Reylo as I know some people see Wuthering Heights in that ship. And it's honestly not wrong. I can see how some people are enticed with Heathcliff and others bad. I think that ship is something that can be seen in both this novel and my other beloved Pride and Prejudice. Maybe there is a correlation between how people view the main characters and if they see it as a toxic relationship or not. It would be a very enticing thing to see. Do people see a Kylo as a sick and twisted Heathcliff or a charming and shy Mr. Darcy. That is my input of rereading it again at this time, still on my withdrawal of the Reylo love.

Pensei em diversas coisas para falar sobre esse livro, mas sinceramente não consigo nem escrever, simplesmente amei, me fez sentir tantas coisas tão diversas e me fez refletir muito, não poderia pedir nada além. Achei que não conseguiria gostar do final, mas amei, deu uma acalmada no coração e fez sentido!
