I loved both of them, but Jane Eyre was easier to read for me. I would like to reread both of them!
I didn't necessarily find Jane Eyre an easier read, but I agree that she is a much stronger character, therefore much more admirable. However, I think both books show different sides of the overall women's experience in Victorian England.

The first time I read both the book was 6 years back when I was 10, and I had to look up half of what Wuthering Heights meant on Wikipedia, because it seemed really crazy at that time. And I found Catherine indescribably stupid because she went for the other guy instead of Heathcliff, even though she clearly loved Heathcliff more. But maybe that's because my view was from the eyes of a 10 year old girl.
I found Jane Eyre much easier to read, mostly because Jane wasn't half as stupid as Catherine. In fact, she wasn't stupid at all. She was a really strong female character that I've looked up to for the better part of my life.
I appreciate your reply. I guess it's time to re-read Wuthering Heights and change my opinion :)
