Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bront is Wuthering Heights. Under the alias Ellis Bell, it was initially published in 1847. Her sister Charlotte edited a posthumous second edition. The title of the book refers to the Yorkshire manor on the moors where the action takes place (as an adjective, wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The story describes Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw's all-consuming and passionate—yet thwarted—love and how this unrequited love ultimately destroys them and those close to them.

About the author
Emily Brontë
1,457 books13.5k followersEmily Brontë was an English novelist and poet whose singular contribution to literature, Wuthering Heights, is now celebrated as one of the most powerful and original novels in the English language. Born into the remarkable Brontë family on 30 July 1818 in Thornton, Yorkshire, she was the fifth of six children of Maria Branwell and Patrick Brontë, an Irish clergyman. Her early life was marked by both intellectual curiosity and profound loss. After the death of her mother in 1821 and the subsequent deaths of her two eldest sisters in 1825, Emily and her surviving siblings— Charlotte, Anne, and Branwell—were raised in relative seclusion in the moorland village of Haworth, where their imaginations flourished in a household shaped by books, storytelling, and emotional intensity.
The Brontë children created elaborate fictional worlds, notably Angria and later Gondal, which served as an outlet for their creative energies. Emily, in particular, gravitated toward Gondal, a mysterious, windswept imaginary land she developed with her sister Anne. Her early poetry, much of it steeped in the mythology and characters of Gondal, demonstrated a remarkable lyrical force and emotional depth. These poems remained private until discovered by Charlotte in 1845, after which Emily reluctantly agreed to publish them in the 1846 collection Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, using the pseudonym Ellis Bell to conceal her gender. Though the volume sold few copies, critics identified Emily’s poems as the strongest in the collection, lauding her for their music, power, and visionary quality.
Emily was intensely private and reclusive by nature. She briefly attended schools in Cowan Bridge and Roe Head but was plagued by homesickness and preferred the solitude of the Yorkshire moors, which inspired much of her work. She worked briefly as a teacher but found the demands of the profession exhausting. She also studied in Brussels with Charlotte in 1842, but again found herself alienated and yearning for home. Throughout her life, Emily remained closely bonded with her siblings, particularly Anne, and with the landscape of Haworth, where she drew on the raw, untamed beauty of the moors for both her poetry and her fiction.
Her only novel, Wuthering Heights, was published in 1847, a year after the poetry collection, under her pseudonym Ellis Bell. Initially met with a mixture of admiration and shock, the novel’s structure, emotional intensity, and portrayal of violent passion and moral ambiguity stood in stark contrast to the conventions of Victorian fiction. Many readers, unable to reconcile its power with the expected gentility of a woman writer, assumed it had been written by a man. The novel tells the story of Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw—two characters driven by obsessive love, cruelty, and vengeance—and explores themes of nature, the supernatural, and the destructive power of unresolved emotion. Though controversial at the time, Wuthering Heights is now considered a landmark in English literature, acclaimed for its originality, psychological insight, and poetic vision.
Emily's personality has been the subject of much speculation, shaped in part by her sister Charlotte’s later writings and by Victorian biographies that often sought to romanticize or domesticate her character. While some accounts depict her as intensely shy and austere, others highlight her fierce independence, deep empathy with animals, and profound inner life. She is remembered as a solitary figure, closely attuned to the rhythms of the natural world, with a quiet but formidable intellect and a passion for truth and freedom. Her dog, Keeper, was a constant companion and, according to many, a window into her capacity for fierce, loyal love.
Emily Brontë died of tuberculosis on 19 December 1848 at the age of thirty, just a year after the publication of her novel. Her early death, following those of her brother Branwell and soon to

This book. Ohhhh this book. This is going to be a long review…
I had to read this book, with 272 pages, in 14 days as part of a school project. Something you should know is that this book does not have 20 chapters, nor does it have 14. It has 34, with 2 volumes in one book (14 chapters in volume 1, 20 in 2). I was startled when I realized, and had to read 6 chapters in one day just to catch up.
Volume 1: This was very, very, very boring. Up until the 136th page, where volume 2 begins, there is just boring details and information. I had to force myself to read the minimum amount of chapters (2) just to stay on task. This part was mostly just background information on the characters and settings. Without it, the rest of the book would not make sense. Still, I think this part has too many useless details, which could have been easily revised and skipped. Nonetheless, if you plan to read this book, this first volume has some very important details, and without them, the rest of the book would not make sense.
Volume 2: But why the 5 star review, if part 1 is so bad?? Volume 2 has the answer. Oohhhoho. Mmmmmmm. This is where it gets started!!!! Drama, action, and frankly, the only part of the novel that is actually about lovers!!! I no longer had to force myself to read. At this point, I was reading for pleasure. It was amazing, and full of drama, action, love, and more!
Ending: As the climax began to slowly morph into the falling action, I found the book getting slightly boring once again. Not as bad as volume one, but certainly not as good as volume 2. It was delectable, and wrapped the story up in a nice, quiet, calm, peaceful bow. I found the ending slightly underwhelming, but that may be because I am more used to happy endings in stories. This ending was neither a happy nor sad one. More of a calm one, or a “sappy” (sad+happy) one. Still, it did wrap the story up nicely and finish with a lasting effect.
Overall thoughts: This was a beautiful and amazing book. It might be one of the best I have ever read. It left a lasting impression on me. I know can speak and think in a more “fancy” way due to this book. I recommend reading the first few chapters of this book with an audiobook, especially to those who do not really read books from this time. It made it much easier to comprehend. As you begin to understand the wording and the vocabulary, you can try reading without the audiobook. This is what I did, and I found it very efficient. I would have probably not gotten through it without one, as on the first day of reading, I was thinking “What the heck? I don’t understand any of this-“. In regard to age groups, I recommend this novel for those 12 and over. As a kid myself, I enjoyed it very much. However, this may differ for other kids who do not prefer to read for pleasure. Perhaps someone the age of 10 and over would enjoy it as well. It really depends on the person. All in all, this was an excellent book. It will stay with me for years to come, and I will definitely read it again sometime in the (farther) future.

My Overall Judgements: This was a beautiful and amazing book. It might be one of the best I have ever read. The book left a lasting impression on me. I recommend everyone to read this book.
However, the first few chapters of the book are really challenging, especially to those who are not accustomed to read in old English. As you begin to understand the wording and the vocabulary, you will begin to appreciate the subtlety and nuances of the book.
All in all, this was indeed a great book worthy of its praise. The book and its beauty are going to stay with me for years to come. I know I will definitely read it again.
Here is a bit of details of the book without spoilers:
Introduction & Background As I have already cautioned, the first part of the book is challenging because of its runic vocabulary and narration. The first volume contains some boring details and information which is preparing the readers for what to come. The first volume is mostly just background information on the characters and settings of the background. Nonetheless, if you plan to read this book, this first volume has some very important details, and without them, the rest of the book would not make sense.
Climax (Volume 2): In this volume, the real drama gets started! You will begin to love the book as soon as you start reading this volume. Drama, action, and frankly, the only part of the novel that is actually about lovers! It was amazing, and full of drama, action, love, and more! No to provide any spoilers, I believe you will love this part without hesitations. I urge you to finish the first volume even if it gets boring so that you can enjoy the beauty and the pleasure of volume 2.
Ending: The book passing its climax at volume 01 begins to slowly comes to its conclusion. However, this part of the book is truly philosophical and enriched with descriptions of human nature and its consequences. It was delectable, and wrapped the story up in a nice, quiet, calm, peaceful bow. This ending was neither a happy nor sad one. Still, it did wrap the story up nicely and finish with a lasting effect.
Finally, A bit of words about the author. Emily Bronte died in December 19, 1848 at the age of just 30. Being at 30 myself, I wondered the genius of her while reading the book. She could only write one book in his lifetime (this one). Yet, what an amazing book she had written! I wish she were alive to write more books.

the obsession? the devotion? the absolute wretched personalities? the fact that the family tree is a circle? the MOOOOOORS !! finally understand anne carson’s fixation in the glass essay. love love love.

I love this book. Sorry not sorry. Yes the plot and writing style is messy, but is that not to retrieve the lifestyles and volatile personalities of the characters? Yes all of the characters are vile and abhorrent, yet I still find myself wholly invested and even rooting for them. Realistically Cathy is just the main character that we all secretly wish to be: Overdramatic and cruel yet still adored by all around her.

I, somehow, have managed to be completely removed from Wuthering Heights in my 43 years of life. I didn't read it in school, I never picked it up "for fun", and haven't seen any of the adaptations. So, I went into this, surprisingly, blind. The only thing I "thought" I knew was it was a gothic romance. And, yes, sure, you could say that.
But you could also say that this is one of the hardest, most agonizing reads ever! Everyone is the worst! There is not a single character that is redeemable. They are all miserable, foolish, arrogant, selfish, vain, angry, revenge-seeking, a-holes who consistently make choices that never allow even a moment to root for them. Heathcliff is an anti-hero. He is an unlikable, despicable, spiteful, curmudgeon. But also, his wild, intense love for Catherine proves he is capable of something pure and good. Too bad Catherine is too selfish and vain to lean into her wild and intense love for Heathcliff, and marries Edgar, who is higher up on the social rung. And let's not even get into the racial undertones. With Catherine's choice, it sets all characters and generations on a vengeful, hate-begets-hate, path, that harms everyone involved.
So, romance, sure. If it is a romantic, tragedy and you mean romance like, oh the English Moors are so romantic? And boy, oh boy, the childhood trauma! THE TRAUMA! Ultimately, Wuthering Heights is about cyclical abuse. And while, it was an agonizing read, I get it and I also loved it.
But maybe mentally prepare yourself before diving in head first.

beautiful and in depth writing. its odd, i've never read a romance story like this.
Heathcliff and Catherine do have love for eachother, but they seemed to only show it when neither were with each other. i had been putting off reading this book for a while now and im so glad i finally got to it.
i find it funny that Nelly ended up outliving everyone, idk why.
imo, this book was ONLY about Heathcliff and Catherine. it was always about Catherine.
the ending wasnt as melancholy as i thought it would make me feel.
it felt soft and cozy, as though it really wasnt the end but just where the book stopped.

An unbelievable book! Singular in its kind, I cannot say I have ever read anything quite like it before. There is love (deeply agonizing love), trauma, relentless drama, and, for some, redemption. Wuthering Heights deserves every bit of the acclaim it has received, and perhaps even more. I am in awe, I am angry, and I am left with a storm of feelings and unanswered questions. Truly a masterpiece, and I’m grateful to have experienced what it means to read Wuthering Heights.

4/5 stars
wow!! it's been an eternity since Ive read a classic and that one was wild!! it was so interesting to see all the awful behaviours of Heathcliff and comparing them to modern protagonist who get romanticized for doing the same things. it was slow to get into and a bit slow at the end, but overall a really good read, and nice to start the ear off reading something outside my comfort levels

Went all in, expecting the greatest love story ever. Maybe some tears- who knows? What a let down. I mean, was I expected to imagine this great love? All anybody did was whine, whine, whine. Blah. Couldn't wait to finish this melodrama, as nothing exciting ever happened, despite my anticipation throughout the entire read.

This was a hard one for me to read. At first I couldn't get into the storyline and had no idea what it was about. The further I came into the book, the more I understood the storyline. The old English writing made it difficult for me as a non native English speaker to read it at some parts and made me really focus on the text. Once distracted, I had to read back a little bit again to get into the story again.
I felt sorry for Heathcliff and the way he had been treated as a child. All other characters had to suffer under Heathcliff's behaviour, even the ones that had nothing to do with his childhood.

I love this book. I couldn't even tell you the first time I read it, but I had to reread it for a college class.
Half of my favorite book quotes come from this book:
“He is more myself than I. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
“If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.”
“I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.”

A crushing story on the harsh reality of vengeance. Heathcliff's obsession grasps him, holding him in a ferocious and vindictive manner until he joins his lover. I found that the setting of the Moors and small distance between the homes created a claustrophobia but alluring atmosphere. Overall, Brontë creates a haunting, addicting and doomed love story which is simply a must read.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
This was the very first classic I ever read, and I absolutely loved it.
There was something about the setting — the wild, stormy moors, the cold, wintry chill that seemed to seep right through the pages — that completely enchanted me. It felt so beautifully bleak, like you could almost hear the wind wailing outside the house while you read.
I loved how morally grey all the characters were. Catherine’s love for Heathcliff was toxic, selfish, and yet heartbreakingly true. Even though she chose her reputation and comfort by marrying Edgar Linton, you could feel how deeply intertwined her soul was with Heathcliff’s. It was messy and painful and somehow so hauntingly real.
Watching Heathcliff transform from a wounded, wild boy into a man consumed by revenge was fascinating. His cruelty, especially toward Isabella, was horrifying, yet I couldn’t help feeling the sharp ache of how rejection and obsession had twisted him. It’s a story full of people hurting each other in the name of love, leaving scars that stretch across generations.
There are so many quotes from this book that I’ll carry with me forever, but my absolute favorite — the one that feels like it captures the raw, relentless grief at the heart of the story — is:
> “The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her.”
This book left me feeling cold and breathless, in the best way — like I’d just walked across those lonely moors myself. I’ll never forget it.

This novel is so suspenseful I couldn’t resisting turning page after page. Towards the end, the characters become so complex and you’re totally invested in their emotions. It was really gut-wrenching to read about how cruel Heathcliff was to Cathy, and I hope she got her happy ending with Hareton as she deserves!
