THAT ENDING THOUGH! PURE GOTHIC REALNESS. hello darkness, my old friend lol.

so i am planning to do some changes on how i write my reviews for inasmuch as i want to write extensive ones, university also requires me to write papers almost everyday (and my poor brain feels overwhelmed due to the daunting number of write-ups ack).

let's see how i can make it work in the pursuit of brevity and substance!

[14] Linton Heathcliff is a frail, delicate, moody, and whiny bitch. Linton is me, I am Linton. Goddamn.
[15] ‘No books!’ I exclaimed. ‘How do you contrive to live here without them? if I may take the liberty to inquire – Though provided with a large library, I’m frequently very dull at the Grange – take my books away, and I should be desperate!’ the way that i can relate to a spiritual level lmao

[13] ‘Loving!’ cried I, as scornfully as I could utter the word. ‘Loving! Did anybody ever hear the like! I might just as well talk of loving the miller who comes once a year to buy our corn. Pretty loving, indeed, and both times together you have seen Linton hardly four hours, in your life!’

THE WAY THAT I FELT ATTACKED READING THIS I— Brontë seems to have a problem with me HAHAHAHA

[10] Heathcliff is the king of y'all who abuse your partners or lead people on then dump them when necessary aCK
[11] me: okay so i'm finally getting the hang of the characters
Brontë: i'mma name Catherine's daughter Catherine and end this man's career
[12] miss Brontë, how can you even make characters this aBHORRENT? i am so confusion HAHAHA.

[8] totally unrelated yet also kinda, but i'mma Heathcliff the Grammys real bad with the snub they did for The Weeknd. revenge will be served at the Super Bowl!!!
[9] "He’s tolerably well, I think, though his studies occupy him rather more than they ought; he is continually among his books, since he has no other society." wHY THE HELL IS BRONTË DESCRIBING ME HAHAH

praise be, i'm halfway through lmao

[6] i feel like this book will be the validation that my most-beloved trope is indeed the revenge trope HAHAHA
[7] ‘Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same, and Linton’s is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.’ if people are this poetic nowadays then maybe i'd still believe that love exists

university pls cooperate bc i want me some time to read this book huhuhu :'(

[3] me: i want a good, challenging novel for brain exercise
Wuthering Heights: *exists*
me: . . .
my brain: . . .
[4] ‘They are not mine,’ said the amiable hostess more repellingly than Heathcliff himself could have replied. my sarcastic humor can never i—
[5] this book really slapped me in the face with Gothic realness that i missed reading since The Count of Monte Cristo (and i'm totally not complaining)

[1] you know you're reading a 19th century novel when morrow is a word frequently used, as in to-morrow. this is the joy that classics bring me as a nerdy linguist lol
[2] oh shit, two chapters in and i'm already fucking confused. this book has the characters' lineage really messed up and my poor little brain can't process it all at once aCK HUHUHU

i need a break lol my brain hurts HAHAHA
