Instead of presenting an overly sentimental worst-case scenario meant to frighten its readers onto the straight-and-narrow, Wuthering Heights seduces its readers with its dark passion and misguided characters. Both Heathcliff and Catherine are flawed characters, but their flaws intrigue the reader just as surely as they repel.
The darkness of the story and the lack of accompanying moral teachings may come as a shocker, while the intricacies of the cyclical plot―the destruction and ultimate reunification of the families―should not be missed. A novel that combines masterful literary devices with all of the scandals of a soap opera, Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights was a drama far ahead of its time and a must read!
