Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte Reviews

Before I read this classic book, I was expecting a 'great love story'. However, this is not an accurate way to describe this novel as it has a more unconventional approach to love. Written in 1847, Emily Bronte originally published 'Wuthering Heights' under a psydenum, Ellis Bell, as she was worried about public reaction to the ...

Wuthering Heights is a tragic love story, and has even been labelled “Emily Bronte’s great story of hate.” And in a way, that’s true. Almost every character hates each other, and rarely loves, I mean real love, and affection is shown. Emily was brought up in the moors, and this is the setting for this novel. She ...

What?s it about? Wuthering Heights revolves around the principal protagonist, Heathcliff and his intense and almost demonic love for soul mate Catherine. It contains elements of unremittingly violent action, revenge and passion set against the natural Yorkshire moorlands to make this an exceptional work of art of English Literature. ...

It is odd, whereas I desperatly try and fit in at School I will not follow the crowd, Wuthering Heights touched me deeper than any other book has dared go. And this is coming from a 17 year old boy, my friends may not have liked it but my sympathetic nature made me realize deep burning issues, which my classmates failed to touch upon. ...

You know when you read a book and it exceeds all expectations to such a degree that as soon as you have finished reading it you go straight back to the beginning and start again? A book which becomes so much a part of your consciousness that you quote from and and refer to it in every day circumstances. A book you can read time and time again ...

How many times has one read a book or a watched a film with the same old plot? Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl again...then in some cases, one or both of them die. The End! Anyone can write a love story, I'm fairly sure of that fact. Writing an original love story is different. Now, I know that Wuthering Heights is ...

This story is a famous one, is the beginning of the play by Cliff Richard. Wuthering Heights is one of the finest works ever written. I read this when i was eleven, and i enjoyed very much. I saw it on film when i was six, and immediately loved it. The book is wonderful, anyone who hasn't read it, read it. It is a bit complicated because of ...

Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" appears to be a book that readers will either love or hate, depending largely on whether or not they find the central characters sympathetic and believeable. It is a strange tale, full of reperssed passion and feelings that are never fully expressed. Dominated by images of gloomy, windswept moors and ...

I was recommended this book by my A-level Literature tutor as she noticed I hadn’t read many ‘classic’ works. ‘What a snob!’ I had privately thought. ‘I mean so what if everything I read is by Dean Koontz, Iain Banks, Stephen King and James Herbert?’ What is a classic? I thought they were girlie ...

This dark and haunting novel written by Emily Bronte in 1847 is a great insight into the personal lives of the early Victorians in Yorkshire. This clergymans daughter led an extremely sheltered life yet stunningly produced a supernatural tale of passion and undying love. This was Emily's solitary novel and she was unaware of its success ...

Ok.so lots of people think this book is a classic and love this book,but, in my personal opinion i think it's very over rated. It's a victorian tale taking place in the Yorkshire Moors with the main charactors of Heathcliffe and Cathy (It's me Cathy etc.)It centres around lust, jeolusy and hatred although combines all these ...

Wuthering Heights is the unusual love story between Cathy and Heathcliff in the Yorkshire Moors. They meet each other in their childhood after Cathy´s father has collected the exotic boy Heathcliff from somewhere and treats him like his own son. Cathy and Heathcliff seem to be made for each other but one day Cathy meets handsome Edgar, is ...

Just a word of warning, one cannot write a synopsis on this book without giving the novel away because it includes two stories that are merged together in a kind of dual structure. One of the many compelling pieces of this book. A most confusing novel, it charts the lives of two families in a cut off part of Yorkshire, near the moors. It ...

Although Emily Bronte's masterpiece is a classic novel, the nature of the narration and the storyline make it very difficult to follow! The whole book is based on flashbacks made by characters in the book and although the story is gripping after the first few chapters, the storyline takes a while to get started! I would suggest the book to ...

Most of you have proobably read this book, or can read the other opinions for the plot. My favourite charcter is Catherine Earnshaw. Bronte conveys her as a petualant, spoilt and melodramatic. The very first time we meed her, she 'spits' at Heathcliff. Upset at her father for losing the whip he was going to bring for her from liverpool. ...

My favourite book of all time...Wuthering Heights is the classic of classics and could be read a thousand times over. In fact you have to read it at least 5times to even begin to understand and appreciate its true depth as a whole and with individual parts. Literally each line could be taken and analysed to mean something significant to the ...

This is the tragic love story about Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, the orphan boy her Father adopts when she is young. As children, Catherine and Heathcliff are quite likeable; they rebel against the rules of 19th century society, they are loveable, but as the story matures and Catherine and Heathcliff get older, they just don’t ...

One of the most wonderful Victorian-era stories, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, is so strong a novel, it's survived countless abridgements and film versions without losing its beauty. Few of those fine old novels can make that boast, and it's a tribute to Ms. Brontë brilliance that Wuthering Heights is as impressive when seen ...

I don't think I could compile a top ten of my all-time favourite books without including Wuthering Heights. It was written, of course, by Emily Bronte and when it was published 150 years ago it was slated by the critics and ignored by the public. In fact her sister Charlotte claimed that the book's reception affected Emily so badly that ...
