Wuthering Heights takes place in a dark, tiny, parallel place, like one of those rolled-up dimensions string theorists like to talk about. It's black, and melodramatic, and strange, and brilliant."https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
(I know I don't have to submit excerpts for these, but it's kindof fun doing it - and this way people can only click on my review if they already agree with it! Much more convenient for people.)
Heh, convenient indeed. However, I am a fan of unwitting clicks on a dissenting opinion that forces the reader to reconsider, so I will forgo replicating your excerpts in the main post.
Good point. Would you like me to take down my little summaries? (It's your show, after all!) Or are you okay with people seeing an excerpt if they feel like scrolling down?
If people make the effort to scroll, they will be rewarded.
Thanks for your review, Samadrita.
I wrote a review for this one, a while ago. I fangirl-ed a bit and wrote more about Emily Bronte than the book though. - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Thank you for your review, Vipassana. All variations are welcome.
"...Family, class, and fate work cruelly against them, as do their own jealous and volatile natures, and much of their lives is spent in revenge and frustration...Even as you condemn Catherine and Heathcliff for the pain they inflict upon themselves and others, it is hard not to listen in awe when Catherine cries out, "I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind; not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.""
(E.B., p. 368)
