Victorian Love....... Wuthering Heights
The plot basically centers around the web of love in the book. The romance is such a strong feeling that you can't help but fall in love with the characters. I actually think that Heathcliff and Cathy's relationship symbolizes something, but I can't quite put my finger on it though. But, without romance, the book would be a bore. Kind of like Twilight would be the stupidest book with out Edward and Jacob. Perhaps that is why it mentions this book :)
Victorian History....... Wuthering Heights
Emily Bronte's writing contains a lot of romanticism. Heathcliff and Catherine's love was doomed from the start yet their love was unconditional. Romanticism and realism was a constant theme during the Victorian time period. It showed up in society as well as literature and the arts. Wuthering Heights is the perfect combination of both elements meshed together.
Wuthering Heights........ Twisted Love
This book has a lot of drama!!! Relationships in Wuthering Heights are dark, stormy, and twisted. Cathy loves Heathcliff but marries Edgar and Heathcliff loves Cathy but marries Isabella. Mr. Earnshaw loves his adopted son, Heathcliff, better than his biological son, Hindley, causing Hindley to despise Heathcliff. It is all just messed up. It kind of reminds me of my family lol.
Wuthering heights......... Alliteration
This book took me back to 8th grade and when we had to find all the alliteration in that Edgar Allan Poe story. I found it everywhere like in chapter 2 it said "the first feathery flakes of a snow-shower." or in chapter 7 it said, "fingers wonderfully whitened with doing nothing and staying indoors." I thought that was really cool and it really adds to the quality of the book. When it was in its most boring parts, Lockwood or someone would use alliteration and I actually stopped and kept saying it out loud. I don't know, it just made me smile.
