Classics tend to be pretty hit or miss for me, given I’m not particularly skilled at decoding old English, and also they (usually) move pretty slow. That said, even though I don’t know like every fourth word, this is some good kush. Brontë has me on the edge of my seat. I always kinda hate when the narrator is learning/telling someone else’s story (like Nick in Gatsby) but it works here!

RIP Cathy, you would’ve loved Mastermind by taylor swift. Also I hate how much I relate to Cathy, especially at 16. The way she takes a problem and makes it a much bigger problem really resonates with me. Like no girl, you’re not crazy for marrying the man you don’t wanna marry so that you can cheat on him with the man you actually wanna marry, that sounds like a win-win-win to me.

A lesser writer could not pull this off, because at points, Bronte is telling us a story about Lockwood telling us a story about Nelly telling him a story about Heathcliff/Cathy telling her a story, and the only reason this works is because every single one of these people are hilarious povs. Very few books pull that off. RIP Bronte, I feel like you would’ve loved reality tv.

Also, I see why people were so upset with the recent remake. I really don’t see how you tell this love story with two white actors 😭
