If you're a moralist, this book is not for you. If you think the world is full of sunshine and happiness and we should ignore all the sufferings and the darker aspects, this book is not for you. If you think people are just one sided coins and cannot accept the fact there's a lot of grey area, this book is not for you. What Emily wrote was way ahead of its time. The moralists of her generation stupidly held the view that the ideals presented by the characters in a work of fiction are necessarily the ideals of the author. If you, like the Victorians think the same then THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU.

What I love about Wuthering Heights so much is that it makes me feel sorry, angry disgusted and sympathetic towards EACH AND EVERY single character at different points. Every character here is a vile, broken human. I'm not going to justify their actions, but I firmly believe if their surroundings and circumstances had been different, they could have been much better people.

Oh, and how can I talk about this book without mentioning its unpopular protagonist? What I said about all the characters, applies to Heathcliff the most. What he does is awful and inhumane. There are a few moments in the story when we see his soft, broken side and wonder how much hurt it would've taken to change a man like that.

Wuthering Heights, for a lot of reasons, remains my favourite Victorian classic. I feel very saddened about Emily's early death. Keep in mind this was her FIRST novel, and written before she was 30. How can you not be impressed? God knows how many masterpieces she would've put out if only she lived a little longer.
