2.0

It started of dark and intriguing and the origins of Heathcliff's and Catherine's romance was exciting but it fell off pretty fast despite Brontë's fine writing. A frivolous love story that lacks in details surrounding the romance like class, the human condition and gender. The narrator, Mrs. Dean is hardly discussed with her relation to class and her own self-development, the love story between Heathcliff and Catherine is irreponsible and neither finds the means to navigate their love or accept the grief in the impossibility which felt lacklustre and shallow. Their sop-story dialogue without action felt annoying after the first 50 pages, and I could not care less for their children's story thus far as all the characters felt haughtily adrift from reality. Many areas that can deepen and add complexities that will intensify the romance were not explored, leaving it as a shallow inconsequential love story built from youthful narrow-mindedness.
