wow. WOW. heathcliff was a bastard, but damn did i sympathize for him throughout the book; same for catherine earnshaw. i've never read such complexities in fiction before! and there's so much compassion in the narrative and how these characters are portrayed, with people becoming products of their environment and social class and whatnot. 

 just so hauntingly beautiful---seriously some of the best writing to this day. man, i'm pretty much speechless. if you're considering reading this book, just go ahead and do it; it'll be nothing like you expect, but wonderful all the same.
