Alright. I'm done with part 1 of Wuthering Heights and to be honest, I need to take a break from this bloody book it is making me exceedingly mad following these repulsive characters.

GOOD GOD! Are Heathcliff - and Catherine by extension, because they are so bloody much alike - is such a detestable character. He is so repulsive a character. Christ, every fiber of my being recoils from him so utterly. I cannot even put into words how much I detest him.
The way he treats is Isabella is absolutely vile.

Catherine is such a vile, entitled character. She does not deserve Linton at all. He's too good a man for her and he indulges her too freely.

Well that settles that then! Catherine loves Heathcliff because, by her admission, they are made for one another. Let them be together I say... Continue to hurt each other. It's prolly gonna end wonderfully.

Heathcliff really does have a mean streak even as a boy. I understand that he's hurt that Cathy kind of abandoned him to spend time with the Lintons, but that gives him no excuse to not welcome her back despite how inconsiderate her remarks are. And what's this about him suffering more than her, like there's a competition between them who suffers more.

My friend recommended me this book to read this! \o/ Lesse how it is!

Told my sister that events in the novel do not move in space and time. Not exactly. This novel has a tendency of highlighting inner worlds of its characters - from the odd and troubled past that Clarissa Dalloway and Peter Walsh shared and reminisce about, to the mental disorder that Septimus Warren Smith endures and the mental toll that takes on his wife, to the delusions of grandure of the doctor treating him...

I'm coming back to this book. Double reading it in order to get through it properly as it's quite hard to follow.

It's odd that sometimes we don't only get to hear of Clarissa's inner thoughts but also that of other people? Or is it what Clarissa believes other people are thinking. I can't really tell with this style of narration.

This book is fascinating because you know just as much as the narrator about this dead woman called Rebecca. One moment someone will say that she was lovely, another moment someone else will get mad at the narrator for even bringing her up. Quite a unique approach to mystery because the mystery is not a series of events but the character herself. Everyone talks of Rebecca as if she were still alive and present.

Very interesting this story how no one can seem to let this woman who died... well.. stay dead. There is an incredible amount of self-erasure and self-doubt when the narrator compares herself to Rebecca.

Interesting that this 3rd part of the novel is... for all intents and purposes, not about resolving Mr. Rochester's skeletons in the closet but Jane basically leaving him to do so on his own. This is quite interesting, as she is thrust, due to necessity, in completely different circumstances.

Very odd turn of events, I'll say. Pity that Jane needs to leave.

How typical of her abusive aunt to be unable to actually put her own pride away and just see Jane as a human. Where did all the hate spark from? I don't understand.

If I'm being completely honest I don't like the aggressive self-erasure the employs to keep her emotions in check. Not because of anything other than it has no business being this bloody familiar to my own berating thoughts.

I am absolutely loving this book and these characters that Charlotte Bronte has created. Jane is probably the most relatable character I've had the pleasure of reading about.

Ok... so you want to make yourself presentable for your... daughter who's living hand to mouth in squallor? God he lives in a fantasy dreamworld.

Interesting poem from a delusional mad-man.

Somehow I finally managed to get around to listening to the audiobook of this novel... 6 years after I had intended to do so.

Quite a bit more to read, I'll admit. But it's coming along nicely the story. Threads are knitting together and there's a lot of things being answered right now.

Slowly but surely reaching the end of this book. May take a while tho.

I'm still reading this. Don't threat. But I'm taking a break to read other stories as well. And do other things right now.

Well... this is an unexpected turn.

I am liking this story a whole lot. Especially the court intrigue present in the Inysh court. It's so freaking engaging.

I can't side with Zelie here. Tzain is right for scolding her like this.

This attraction between Zelie and Inan comes out of nowhere I swear to god it's blunt and in your face. Also, I am right here, right now deciding to not continue on with the series past book 1. It does not reward readers for sticking with it.
