Wuthering Heights’s book review
Wuthering Heights is about love romance between two lovers, Heathcliff and Catherine. The bitter romance those two lovers that cannot be together. Heathcliff dark hero flee his home with heartbroken because he is poor, three years later he return with wealth. But so sad, his beloved Catherine is married to other rich, well manner man, Edgar. Then the whole cycle of revenge and heart breaking dramatic scenes begin.
Withering Heights is not love romance like most people expected. It is kind of the negative side of love. Heathcliff the center character, love Catherine so much, so much that he turn love from sweeten to bitter. He let love blinded him, he too obsessive with the love. So from the cause of his love too much, led him destroyed himself and other people that relate to him. Heathcliff just have too strong love and it destroy himself. Heatcliff and Catherine were so in love with each other, but Catherine have to make a choice and I think she make the right choice because she choose the best for herself. But heathcliff, a man who blames the others about his unsuccessful love, Heathcliff is not a sweet, kind, dreamy man like everyone way expected. Indeed, when I first read the book, I was thought that Heathcliff is must be gentlemen, dreamy, that kind of stuff, but it turn out that he is a kind of person that obsessive, wild, revengeful, and a man that do whatever he want. Heathcliff is representing nature, compare to his enemy, Edgar which is highly educated man.
This story is start with Mr. Lockwood enter the house at Wuthering heights during the storms night and Nelly, the main servant at the house start to tell the story which I think it is a good way to start this classic novel. And the book start to talk about life of Heathcliff since he enters the house, Heathcliff was adopted by Catherine father. Then the book continue talk about the miserable young life like he hated by Hindley, he force to work at labor, and uneducated. So heathcliff had grow up with hate and revenge.
Heathcliff did not success in his love with Catherine. But I really wish they can be together, if on the rainy night Heathcliff not happen to overheard Catherine told Nelly that if she marry Heathcliff it will degrade her to the whole town so she better choose Edgar. Heathcliff heard that and ran way, be the army, and return 3 home three years later, and fine out that Catherine have is married so he turn to mad man and set his goal as revenge. This love of Heathcliff I just think that it is too much and he uses it to destroy himself. This book romantic but tragedy.
