book stuff

I'm about 3/4 of the way through reading Wuthering Heights for the first time. My main reactions:

--Ellen Dean fits the trope of Only Sane Man (in this case, Woman). I have no clue how she managed to put up with the other main characters for so long.

--I would never admire Cathy and Heathcliff as a romantic couple. They're horrible people and I want to punch them (along with most of the main cast).


--Cathy dies halfway through the book? Seriously? I'll admit, I got to that point and said, "So what the hell is supposed to happen for another couple hundred pages? It's like when Anna Karenina dies and there are several more chapters on the rest of the cast. Except that, you know, WH goes on for much longer.
