Its greatest fans are people who have read two or maybe three classics, one of the others always being To Kill A Mocking Bird. Jane Eyre is “too long.”
“I still don’t care because it was annoying to read” is exactly how I feel about the entirety of this book. I get what she’s doing, I understand why people like it as a character study on trauma and relationships. but holy hell was it annoying.
You didn't think it was really well crafted and "stage managed"? Every single element of the plot is perfectly engineered within the larger structure. And the emotional whirlwind among despicable characters - no attempt made to placate the reader with solace. There really is no other novel like it.
yes totally. i think objectively it’s a great book, and i’ve read many good books with characters I greatly disliked. but there’s something about this book that leaves me feeling so annoyed that it hinders my ability to appreciate it.
I feel like Wuthering Heights is the kind of book you need to read at a certain time in your life to truly revel in the angst and melodrama. For me that was during my teenage years. I was a huge fan of the Twilight books and The Flowers in the Attic series and my idea of great television at the time was Desperate Housewives😅. Wuthering Heights was the first classic novel that I found fun to read and it fed my angsty teenage soul. I finished the book in 3 days and processed to immediately re-read it because I was not ready to leave Heathcliff and Kathy's toxic relationship and family drama behind. I haven't read the novel since and I dont think I want to because thinking about the novel makes me feel nostalgic about my teenage self and also I'm not sure my adult self would have the patience for all that unnecessary angst and melodrama 😂
Agree… read WH in school because it was required / MANY YEARS AGO. (Although glad I did read it so I’m in sync with Charles’s review.) you must be my daughters age……… I read the Twilight Series with my daughter when she was in her late JR high to high school days. Really enjoyed them. 👍
As someone who knew before going in that there’s pretty much no likeable characters, it’s not a romance and pretty much everything is miserable I liked it for the simple fact that I like reading about awful people
Charles, are you alright, man? 40 long days without a new vid? I hope you're reading for yourself and not for TH-cam but please share anything with us in the Community.
Charles, I hope you're doing well. You haven't posted a video in over a month & I along with other viewers are concerned about your well being. Even if you don't want to post videos just share a community post.
I read WH as an angsty teen and absolutely loved it. It was the most moving, intense book I’d ever read and to this day, I’ve never read anything like it. I respect your opinion and it seems to be a very polarising work anyway - you either love it or hate it; nothing in between, lol. I was going to re-read it this year, two decades after I read it for the first time, but your review has scared me, Charles 😂 I’m worried that reading it as an adult will be a different experience and may tarnish my love for it 😂 Although it really is my vibe; I love bleak, depressing books 😅 I think I’ll hold off on the re-read for now and continue to bask in my love for it 😌😅
@@cs0p I was literally just thinking about you and wondering how you are. Very excited about the new content and about hearing your thoughts on books and life 💖
i spent a total of 5 days trying to figure out who were all the characters and i gave up at page 10. Not even the family map that was in the book helped me figure out.
It is Romantic because it was written during the Romantic period. It didn't just spearhead and help codify the Romantic genre, it also features most all of the themes, tropes, and motifs of the post-enlightenment era. That a bookseller was completely oblivious to this fact is both concerning and depressing in equal measure.
@@bad-girlbex3791 i know when people refer to it as romantic regarding the artistic movement but people call it romantic as if the couple itself is cute/ something they want
I just love you and your video's so much. I hope you're okay and that you're just taking a little break from YT to read some amazing books just for your own pleasure. We miss you and will welcome you with open arms whenever you feel like uploading a new video. Take all the time u need. (Or am I being melodramatic for being worried after only a month? Idk I just hope you're okay.)
I have read/listened to this book half a dozen times now trying to figure out why people like it. It's heartening that there are others out there who dislike Wuthering Heights, because I've truly never understood why it has been lauded above others for so long. Also appreciate how in-depth you went with this review.
This makes no sense……I mean why would you listen or read this a dozen times if you didn’t like it??? Now I’m just being curious as to why? NOT hateful.
@@puppy2haley Oh no, it was only six times. A few were back in my school days, as it was a text we had to examine for English Literature so when I left school, I chose to re-read in case the reason I hadn’t liked it was simply because it was something we’d had to pick apart and write essays on. I tried the audiobook with the Patricia Routledge narration for she is amazing, but alas, alack and all that she couldn’t save the book for me. Unfortunately, I was never going to be the reader Wuthering Heights required.
Oh no. We disagree on this :( Before last year ended I read one book of each Bronte sister. (Jane Eyre, WH, and Tenant). WH is just superior. Sad it didn’t work for you.
Whenever someone raves about a book I find that it's never as amazing as they've built it up to be. It's partially why I enjoy participating in book clubs. Sometimes other people have a totally different perspective and I realize that they're possibly mentally ill and not to ever listen to their book recommendations again.
I haven't read it, but i see many people disagreeing and is always so interesting to see how differently the same books affect individually. I found a comments section recently hating on a book i really loved recently and i thought "how could anyone hate it? How did you read it and didn't understand it?" But it really is a amazing phenomenon to see how a book can have a thousand different ways to be interpreted
Ooooh. This is so interesting. While I love Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, I’ve hesitated to read this one by one of the other Bronte’s. Maybe this is because Jane Eyre manages to accomplish SO many moods without feeling like it’s trying very hard. And, omg does Tolstoy do humor well. Somehow he finds ways to insert humor into War & Peace! I love a book discussion video with passages used as examples and with HUMOR. You do this so well. 😊.
i absolutely despise this book. this was my Goodreads review for it "it took this book 22 chapters to become mildly interesting . tbh only reason i read it was for my a level. literature equivalent of a plain chicken breast. slightly burnt, little bit of charcoal on the bottom but its like soggy inside. and has that weird chicken residue thats hhow much i hated reaidng this book"
Very many of the works acclaimed as great romances are…not. Romeo & Juliet: disaster all around. Ditto Anna Karenina. I think this book is important, but it is not for everyone. It’s important because of its masterful but tricky play with timelines, narrators, and repeated names and repeated patterns. And it is important because it is so very unlike books written by women up to that moment, and long after (there were many many novels written by women-just not like hers).
I read this years ago, so I mostly remember not liking it, but you jogged my memory in that I remember at the time thinking the "maid is telling the story" device was SO clunky and ridiculous and at times I was totally taken out of the story because I kept thinking, there is no way she can just recite all these conversations word for word that took place thirty years ago, COME ON.
The way I paid 27$ at B&N for this book (the hardcover is so pretty) , read 15 pages and never picked it up again lol. Somehow you hating it makes me want to go read it..
Hi, just want to say I love your videos. You're so cute and interesting! Would love to hear your thoughts on everything, not just books, but thanks for all you do. You are awesome
Finally someone else agrees with me that wuthering heights is bad. I never understood why ppl liked it at all. I mainly hated heathcliff the most too because he is abusive but whats crazy to me is that readers who love this work justifies or tries to justify his actions because he was bullied as a kid, and also I hate animal abusers as well which is what he does. He even abuses his own child and lets him die because the child’s name is the name of someone he hates too. Right now I’m reading the Tenant of Wildfell hall by Ann Bronte and ironically I think it’s better. I even found myself chuckling at Ann’s wit with the characters vs Emily’s.
When this first came out I unsubscribed because I was riding wuthering heights THAT HARD. but now that I’ve read more books I have more perspective and realize that novel had SO many flaws 😒😒
Idk if you remember I told you, I was going to buy less books but I bought one.... Because I've seen you talk about it, buuuut I love it so much so far 👌
I agree so much. I read Wuthering Heights a few years ago when I was 18 because it was so famous. But I found the timelines disorientating and the dialogue melodramatic. And most of all; I was bored. I liked Jane Eyre a lot more.
No this is my favourite book! I love the melodrama! And the setting is my favourite part, the Yorkshire moors are such a magical place! And the Kate Bush song is amazing!
Ive never read Wuthering Heights but i clicked so fast when i saw this title knowing that you were going to Have Opinions about it XD I only recently read Jane Eyre and thats a book thats similar to WH in that its been sort of lauded as his great 'romantic' classic. I have extremely mixed feelings about it. I can understand WHY its so big and loved and why people eat it up (i also ate it up)- but there are themes and aspects that... Leave a bad taste in my mouth. There are times Janes character slays and times im not not so sure. Im curious about what youd think about it and if youd point out the same things. BUT I wont recommend it directly to you because like you said itd be a waste of time to read something you wont like. Love your videos!!! Feels like a genuine book club XD
i love wuthering heights because i couldn't stand any of the characters Emily did everything so well for me to hate them. And maybe she hated them too 😂😂
you owning multiple copies is so real because i also have two copies because they are ALWAYS at thrift stores and they look absolutely gorgeous. no i haven't read them yet
What a coincidence, I am now reading wuthering heights and have been watching all the reviews of it. Then you've posted 😊 agreed with almost every point.
I wanted you to show us all five of your copies. :) I didn't like it either! I was not impressed even by that famously gothic scene of Heathcliff, the Byronic (anti)hero, digging up Catherine's tomb at night. I was sucked into reading it because of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's famous quote for the novel: "The action takes place in Hell, only it seems places and people have English names there." (indeed all characters are demonically bad!) What really baffled me - as a non native English reader - was this old male servant Joseph chatting for pages and pages in some oral Northern English idiom of 175 years ago. My God, I understood nothing! I see none of your editions had his parts explained either and that neither you, an American, got him either. Damn...
I read this in my AP Lit class and I actually really like it lmao. Obviously, to each their but I don’t think others shouldn’t try it out just because of someone else’s opinion
I also hate Wuthering Heights, but Brontë was def not going for realism. Realism was not yet a popular art movement at the time of the novel’s writing. WH is a gothic novel heavily influenced by romanticism. It’s meant to be heavily emotional and dramatic. The melodrama is kinda the point. Edit: And this is also partly why the characters feel like caricatures…this is another characteristic of romanticism. Heathcliff is written to be a Byronic Hero.
