Wuthering Heights

Advantages: Classic Story, Strong characters. Classics often cheap.
Disadvantages: Difficult language. Some complications

...Wuthering Heights is a book about people. It’s a soap opera in the lives of two households in early 19th century northern England and is one of those books that you just have to read. It’s often mistaken for a love story telling the story of the famous romance between Catherine and Heathcliff. That was one of the mistakes I made. Although there is a relationship explored between these two characters, it’s by no means the main aspect of the story. Emily Brontë explores a range of issues in this book which were obvious key aspects of life at this time. Ideas such as inheritance rights, relationships, marriages and death are all dealt with and a range of options given to the reader. This although may make the story itself perhaps seem slightly weak as it appears to deal with too much almost, it’s an outstanding...

Review of Wuthering heights - Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights reveiw

Advantages: lots of action,and cleverly written,an amazing peice of english
Disadvantages: long words,starts off slow,its helpfull if you can read between the lines

...Wuthering Heights a deliberately shocking,gothic genre novel which was published in 1847 by Emily Bronte hasnt always been one the greatest love stories written although you would think so after reading it.The exciting and shocking action was to much for the Victorian public to take in! Bronte cleverly reflects the characters through the two contrasting worlds of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange allthroughout the book for all you english fanatics ,but also for those who just want sheer entertainment the story starts off slow in an isolated location where you would imagine that nothing interesting could ever happen, however you will be impressed when the two houses clash like yellow and purple ,leading to a love that destroys everyone it touches.Personnally i enjoyed all aspects of the book ,being a person who seeks...

Wuthering Delights

Advantages: framework structure makes the read entertaining
Disadvantages: quite difficult to get into at the beginning

...A truly wonderful classic. One which thrills the heart yet consequently throbs it. Its author, Emily Bronte, tempts the reader into experiencing emotions never previously gained from a novel and takes them on a rollercoaster ride of love and hate, passion and violence. Its title? Wuthering Heights. I love Wuthering Heights, perhaps due to its exploration of feelings so rarely felt anymore or maybe due to its rarity and rebellion against the cliche love story of its time. For whatever reason, I adore this book, a masterpiece which Emily Bronte spent seven years to create and by producing such a novel she actually created a literary class of her own. Wuthering Heights describes a trapped society; one of only two estates, yet a society in which love may fail yet true love will always prevail; a society in which prestige and power...

The Heights of Literature

Advantages: A classic novel that impress peole with your variety of reading materials
Disadvantages: a slightly contrived ending

...As many of you know, I have a great love of literature. Not just the current best sellers but children's classic, adult's classics, text books and many more genres. However, when studying my A2 literature I found that the books lost a lot of the appeal that they once held. Therefore I am pleased to say that I didn't read the classic Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte until just the other day. I had read Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and fell in love at once with Mr Rochester, all of the Austen novels, falling in love at once with Mr Darcy and many of the other Victorian type novels, mostly for pleasure but with the mind that they would help for comparison of texts of the era when I sat the dreaded exam for the worst book I have ever read, Tess of the D'Urbevilles. Now leaving the dreary subject of Tess with her many signs of ill fate...

Review of Wind And Wuthering - Genesis

"Is Mr. Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a d

Advantages: A wonderful, wonderful book.
Disadvantages: Can take a little getting in to

...I think that I am lucky to be the age I am when it comes to books. When I was a young teenager in the 1960's, there were no videos and not the same TV adaptions of books to take away from your sheer imagination and the atmosphere that was obtained from reading alone. So it was for me with Wuthering Heights - I had not yet seen the 1939 film starring Laurence Olivier, so all I had to visualise he charaters and settings were the wonderful words from Emily Bronte. Incredibly this dazzling, iconic novel published in1847 (under the pseudonym Ellis Bell) was the only book written by Emily Bronte. How tragic that she was taken only a year later, suffering from consumption - what more masterpieces could have been written? Emily Bronte (1818-1848) was part of one of Britain's most famous literary families with sisters Anne...

"I am torn by Desire... tortured by hate!"

Advantages: Pure pleasure, a wonderful classic film - who needs colour!!!
Disadvantages: Dated for some and you'll need he tissues

..."On the barren Yorkshire moors in England, a hundred years ago, stood a house as bleak and desolate as the wastes around it. Only a stranger lost in a storm would have dared to knock at the door of Wuthering Heights." WUTHERING HEIGHTS FILM 1939 ...DVD 2004 Anyone who has been reading my recent reviews may have noticed that I have been indulging in a lot of nostalgia by watching DVD's of all my old favourite classics. My latest purchase from Amazon for the grand price of £3.24 was the 1939 'Wuthering Heights' adapted from Emily Bronte's classic novel. This was the first film dramatization of Emily Bronte's 1847 masterpiece, with a screenplay written by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur (concentrating on the first two-thirds or 17 chapters of the 34 chapter book). With Laurence Olivier as the leading actor...
