I had so much trouble with this book. I liked it but I just hated how selfish and cruel the characters were. I didn't think there was anything romantic about the way Heathcliff and Catherine loved each other. I also didn't care for the narrator and t

I am not aware of it. And to me it is one of the most odious things in a girl's life, that there must always be some supposition of falling in love coming between her and any man who is kind to her...
