<br>Currently, I am studying Wuthering Heights (had no choice about it really) and I agree with your opinion. It is the most annoying book that ever existed. I think its a blessing on all english students that Emily Bronte did not write anymore books. It is full of unrealistic romance and yes like you said we have more important things to do with our time.<br>I totally agree with your opinion........ Good Job!!!!!!!!!
omg YES thank you.. finally, someone who DOESNT like the book. jeez. its soooo boring.. i just read the sparknotes... hahah
annoyness? and you're in AP English?
The fact that the critic used the word annoyness says it all. It just doesn't make sense. Obviously the book was to mature for this reader. Maybe you should try actually completing the novel before you rate it.
This book is most definately the worst book i have ever read. I would not recommend it at all, in fact i would recommend people not to read it.
Although the original comment was made by someone that obviously lacks proper knowledge of the English language, his basic theme rings true. Wuthering Heights is a novel that upon completion will leave you feeling like a deflated moonwalk, stupid and useless. Thank goodness tuberculosis got a hold of Emily Bronte before she graced the world with another monstrocity.
Honey, the only annoyness (?!) about this book is the dumbass reviews that people like you give it.
I want to shoot Emily Bronte with a literary cannon.
I can't believe anybody could actually bag this book. I'm 19 and had to read it at school when I was 16 and have read it so many times since. It became my favourite book at school and still is by a mile. I am a girl but I'm not into any of these 'chick flicks' and romance books, but this story has so much more than just a love storyline, but it's full of anger and bitterness and the desolate lifestyle of the families living on the moors in the 1880's. <br>But like somebody else said, the morons who bagged it earlier could never appreciate work by a genius such as Emily.
I prefer books where there is more than the soppy depressing stuff in the plot. Like in fantasy novels, they have about 5 subplots simultaneously, including the depressing love stuff, but there are actual events that happen and have some direction or purpose.
I totally agree!! This book was much too descriptive. It fit its genre perfectly, but I didn't appreciate Bronte's style.
Do you know the purpose of literature?Do u know what are you talking about?
I can say with all earnest that Wuthering Heights is not a masterpiece. I am not one of these rebelling teenagers, I am 45 and teach 1700 - 1930's English Literature at a Univwesity (sorry, no names...).<br><br>Emily did not capture the mood of the people at the time and, in my professional opinion, hasn't caught the mood of people since. Looking at the language used throughout the book, it appears to be aimed at the highly educated, at least that is the strata of society who would be most likely to read it for sheer entertainment value (neglecing the forced reading at schools). But, why then is it so simple? People who say it is complicated are wrong. The only complicated aspect is the method of narration, and the names - which appear immensely unimaginative. Heathcliff's passion bottles up inside him while Catherine is with Edgar, and he loses control and seeks revenge. I could have written that without needing to use my imagination at all. And that is basically the plot, a few other minor events occur, but they all revolve around this one, very simple idea. Sorry Emily, we need more than that for a literary masterpiece.
<b><br>Thank you all for the entertainment. I am currently writing about the 'Gothic Traditions' of the novel and came across this page, to my delight. These comments bare a strong resemblance to the actual story itself in the way that users try to be something that they aren’t, and write what they don’t believe, to prove their maturity.
"The fact that the critic used the word annoyness says it all. It just doesn't make sense. Obviously the book was to mature for this reader. Maybe you should try actually completing the novel before you rate it." <br><br>Although 'Bill' (I think this is a psuedo-name, as it is gay) was correct in noticing the original critic's typing error, his subsequent incorrect usage of the word 'to' leaves him without a leg to stand on.<br>
