Wuthering Heights

The story of a tragic love between two wild hearts is one of the most popular and recognizable works in European literature of the 19th century. Although the ending of the story is dark, and the characters have many flaws, the novel continually finds its readers, immersing them in a whirlwind of events and showing how multifaceted and all-consuming love can be... on the brink of madness. 'Wuthering Heights' has been adapted into films multiple times, and references to the plot can be found in many works about destructive passion. Love against the backdrop of bleak heathland leads to the madness and death of the characters. Fury, rebellion, and attachment have merged in their lives into a single whole. The feelings of the wild foundling for his half-sister do not submit to logic or morality; they are not under the control of human strength, nor of evil fate, nor even of death. Emotions that have completely consumed their owner and shattered more than one life frightened the Victorian man, but captivated the next generations of readers. This novel can be loved and it can be hated. One thing is certain — it is extremely difficult to remain indifferent to it.
