Personally I prefer to read books where I like or enjoy the main characters so honestly it wouldn’t be my go to pick. However once I got past that I found it was actually a really easy/ captivating read once I acknowledged (not a major plot spoiler)
Despite the slow moving plot I felt compelled to finish it, at least just because I wanted to see if
3.5 stars because it wasn’t a bad story

I liked cathy 1 and 2, and edgar linton who is the only good male in the book, the soft boy. Heathcliffe is a psycho, and cathy 1 knew that. She loved him like a girl or woman might love the toxic abusive boy or man despite knowing his nature, and add to that fact that they grew up together makes it even harder for her to leave him. but SHE DOES. She chooses edgar bc she knows what's good for her, and I love that. she chose the healthy loving relationship over the unhealthy toxic one. GOOD FOR HER. also heathcliffe is a black man and I certainly saw that clearly. But also hate the obvious and predictable racism by all the white ppl.
CORRECTION
So I forgot cathy 1 hit edgar, so yes she is also abusive totally. And that cannot be excused at all. I still like cathy 1 bc of her choices, but I of course condemn that action against poor edgar. And edgar is awesome.
Also Nelly is a bum like i don't care her narration is not totally reliable and she meddled when she wanted and didn't meddle when she didn't. She was better than the other horrible servant though that did not help cathy 2 at all.
Also cathy 2 is a child througout and only 18 by the end and she is very brave and resilient.
Also mr lockwood is also a waste man and I'm glad cathy 2 did not marry him, as he like most Victorian white men wants his love to be an "angel". However I don't like hareton either bc abuse sooo. I wish she would have escaped but this is the olde times and she would have no cash and assets as a woman etc etc so that's no escape at all. She made the best of cards dealt to her, like her mom cathy 1. Good for her again.
It is also interesting to compare mr lockwood wanting cathy 2 to be an angel and thinking less of her when she acts like any human being would in her situation, and heathcliffe loving cathy 1 with or may be because of her roughness and continues to when she becomes a so called proper lady. Both also resist and doing the opposite of what their love interests expect and want from them which is fab.
Joseph is irritating af and enough said.
