Jane Eyre question

My vote is for WH. The tragic love of Heathcliff and Caterine. If only he would have heard the entire conversation between Nelly and Cathy.

Well, one is the bench mark for love stories with a strong female lead, often imitated but seldom bettered - the other is a dark tale of obsession, madness and revenge, and in my opinion one of the top 5 novels of all time.

Hard to compare directly, but I'm voting WH
:)

Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre by far!!! mostly because you don't enjoy reading Wuthering Heights, so much cruelty and madness. Cathy is a unbearable spoiled crazy child and Heathcliff...well, Heathcliff is pure evil.
Rochester is a bit of a jerk himself though....

The first time I read Wuthering Heights, I hated it. I really didn't like it at all, and I gave up on the Bronte sisters for a while. After I had a class about this book in University, I read it again, with other eyes, and I understood it better. The novel is really amazing and, as a literary production, it is a work of art. I don't think that Jane Eyre could equal it in the literary importance that Wuthering Heights has. On the other hand, Jane Eyre was the book that made me go back to the Bronte sisters with an open heart. I thought it much more agreeable to read, much more enjoyable. And the reason why I think that is not one based on specific literary issues of an elevated critique. It is simply because Jane is far more agreeable than ANY character in Wuthering Heights. I mean, it is much easier to identify with and to like Jane than to like Heathcliff or Catherine.
I think that's why I consider Jane Eyre more enjoyable to read than Wuthering Heights, although I consider Emily's novel somehow "superior" in a literary way.

Jane Eyre, Hands Down!

Jane Eyre! you don't enjoy reading WH

Wuthering Heights is wonderful but for some reason I find it very stressful to read. Jane Eyre was one of the first books I ever cried over because I was terrified that it was going to turn into this very dark and unhappy ending haha. I remember being about 12 and reading it very fast to find out what was going to happen!

Wuthering Heights is immensely dark. Jane Eyre is easier to understand.

I prefer Jany Eyre. It was just more of a compelling read. Maybe that was because I read it in school and we discussed it in depth. But to me Wuthering Heights was a bit...kind of dull.

I actually have never read Wuthering Heights, but I love Jane Eyre!

Both books have their own merits. Those who like uplifting stories will prefer Jane Eyre. People who love gothic books will choose Wuthering Heights.t

I love both.

Can I pick both or is that an unacceptable answer? There are elements of both stories I love that make me appreciate them equally.

I love both - they are so amazing that I cannot decide! I love classic books!

Jane Eyre was well written passionate and entertaining. I think wuthering heights was poorly written (confusing) passionate and hard to identify with.

I've read both but I prefer Jane Eyre; I really liked Charlotte's writing style over Emily's. Wuthering Heights was also good but I would definitely reread Jane Eyre!

Jane Eyre, without question. Charlotte Bronte’s depiction of the emotions of the characters were done really well. Character development is poignant - specifically that of Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. Found absolutely no character growth in Wuthering Heights, even if I know it’s intended that way. Overall, I just really prefer Jane Eyre.

Jane Eyre is the 1st example of Woman empowerment,,,,

I loved Jane Eyre. I did not like Wuthering Heights at all.

Enjoyable is too vague a word. For more fast entertainment and intense drama I would say WH. For more suspense and you know that slowly growing feeling of a thunderstorm coming on (yes pun intended) when the sky and the air tells you about it long beforehand, I would say JE.

Romanticism is preferred to gothicism.

Both of them are pretty enjoyable with such such an impressing characters.
Though, I personally prefer Wuthering heights because I think Heathcliff's charactor, personality, etc and Catherine Linton is just amazing! There's more romance in Jane Eyre while there's revenge, arguments, etc in Emily Bronte's Wuthering heights in addition to the romance.
In short, my choice would be definitely Wuthering heights by Emily Bronte.

They are both great books, although different. If you are looking for classic romance you should read Jane Eyre, if you are looking for wicked romance then choose Wuthering Heights.

Definitely Jane Eyre <3

Wuthering Heights. I hated Jane Eyre. It's so amazing that they were written by sisters but yet they are so completely different.

The fact that the characters in Wuthering Heights were so dislikeable gave them depth and personality. The pure insanity and obsession between Cathy and Heathcliff was extremely captivating.

Jane Eyre is like the Wattpad story of the 1800s. Its vanilla storyline and bland characters make it like a kids story with fancier words. Jane Eyre is the "not like other girls/ I'm not pretty but I'm smart" sort of girl, And Mr Rochester is blander than unflavoured 2 minute noodles. Mr Rochester's insane ex wife is the only slightly interesting part of the story, and she gets hardly any attention throughout the whole novel whatsoever.

While Jane Eyre's got nutty Bertha who lives in an attic and burns things (+1), it's also rife with thousands of florid scene-scapes (-5); Despite the sniveling Linton boy in Wuthering Heights (-1), it has misanthropic Heathcliff (+5). Both novels, however, are victorian romances (-1000) which means, according to my calculus, Emily wins by a whopping margin of MINUS I-don't-give-a-blippity-blip.

I have to admit that I absolutely hate the book, Jane Eyre. The absolute lack of any happiness in the book has always been a huge turnoff for me. Wuthering Heights for me.
