Well I am not sure where to start with this book. For many years I have been interested in the tale. From an outsiders point of view it was described as a great love story and Heathcliff is a great romantic lead. Having now read it I can’t quite understand how he ever got that image: a nasty spiteful man fuelled purely by hate; maybe this is why I liked him so much! But the story is unique in that I found myself riveted and interested but disliking the lead characters Heathcliff and Cathy so much I wanted them to disappear from the story and into the moors so I could hear more off the other characters. It didn’t seem like a love story as such but more a story of obsession and anger.
The Story ends with the children of the tortured people involved in the early parts of the book; achieving the peace and love that the early characters so miserably fail to attain, and ultimately leaves the dark tale with an uplifting twist.
