I too just recently read Wuthering Hieghts for my AP English class, and I found it full of a dark mysterious love that truely sees no boundaries. However, I, personally, saw a flaw with how the story was told in the view of Mrs. Dean. I believe that because of how Emily Bronte was living at the time, her veiw point of higher sophisticated statuses very much matched how Mrs. Dean told the story. The story was never lacking full range of emotions, but the story was full of anger, disobedience, sickness, and death. All of these emotions contributed very much to the romance of the story however, I believe that the anger was too high. All the anger in the story caused broken relationships, broken familys, and also caused physical beatings, harsh words, and alot of slapping.<br> This book truely is a good book and one of my more favored classics, but, to me the story it's self is way to downgrading upon the characters with it being told by a house mistress, you never really see the good sides of the characters that Mrs. Dean did not like, especially Heathcliff.
