Wuthering Heights

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. Love as weather warning.

Catherine said I am Heathcliff and meant it as a confession, not a compliment.

Heathcliff's revenge outlived its reasons by forty years. Grief with a work ethic.

The moors don't care who loves whom. Best neutral narrator in fiction.

Lockwood is us, arriving with assumptions, leaving humbled by other people's weather.

Isabella's infatuation cost her everything in a month. The book is a warning label on romance.

Two houses, two winds, and children paying their parents' debts.

Nelly Dean saw everything and judged most of it. The most human narrator in the canon.

Young Cathy and Hareton, the second generation unlearning on purpose.

It's not a love story. It's a haunting that files paperwork. That's why it lasts.
