book stuff
Dec. 19th, 2010 09:06 amI'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).
( last one behind cut due to spoilers for this and Anna Karenina )
