Wuthering Heights - Question #6

Wuthering Heights is a fantastic novel that tells about the struggles of true, passionate love that is so strong, it goes on and on, even after the grave. It is an unforgettable novel indeed. It also is very descriptive and easy to enjoy. Due to the fact that it uses an older form of English than we 21st century teens are used to, it is pretty confusing at times, but once I read through some scenes a few times, I was able to understand it all pretty well. The older form of English is not my favorite to read but I will say I did enjoy this book a lot. I enjoyed it also because it was different than most love stories, like the ones that are perfect from the start. As for timeless themes, I can say that I have never read such a dark love story. Wuthering Heights is full of love, revenge, suffering, and dysfunctional families that make it a book unlike any other. We can learn from this novel that even though love is an amazing thing, it is still hard, and no matter how perfect or imperfect it is, there are still consequences to it. We don’t always get what we most want in life.
