The narrator seems to be mocking each character relentlessly but subtly. It's sly and funny and bursting with flowery brutal jabs. It's far more complex than a soap opera - and far more cruel and dark. Heathcliff as an orphaned and abused youngster is heartbreaking, and his transformation into a hard yet despondent man is no surprise. The novel is a story of heightened emotion and human nature turned up a notch. Add to that the meticulous writing
and a compelling plot and you have a novel that people love.(less)
