A Poem for Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte
Darkest novel in literature
Two complete strangers fall in a helpless love
They can't help themselves
Love lies deep - never ending
Parental consent is outnumbered
Torture by paranormal marriage
One is thought gone forever
Life moves on
But coming back is a mistake
Heathcliff
Love lays deep - hereditary
Children follow parents' eerie example
Death is a new beginning
Two souls tortured forever on the scale of hope, dreams
Forbidden romance
Catherine - make up your mind
Two men are at her back and call
Choose the one you love
Don't follow mother's example
Parents aren't always right
Break free
Make mistakes
Learn from them
Wuthering Heights
An older, more romantic version of Twilight
When will it end?

"Wuthering Heights" is a novel written by Emily Bronte, set in the Yorkshire moors of England in the late 18th century. The story follows the lives of two families, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and the passionate, destructive love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. The novel explores themes of love, revenge, social class, and the destructive power of obsession. Through Bronte's vivid descriptions of the setting and her complex characters, "Wuthering Heights" remains a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its hauntingly beautiful prose and enduring themes.
"Wuthering Heights" is a complex and dark novel that explores the themes of love, revenge, and the destructive power of obsession. While the prose is beautiful, the story itself is not for everyone. The characters are deeply flawed and often difficult to like or sympathize with, and the narrative can be confusing due to its nonlinear structure. However, those who enjoy Gothic romance and are willing to immerse themselves in a challenging and intense story will likely appreciate this novel. It's not a light or easy read, but for readers who appreciate richly drawn characters and intricate plots, "Wuthering Heights" is definitely worth exploring.
