Brief rant on Wuthering Heights
Jun. 12th, 2009 08:29 amWuthering Heights is not a love story.
Heathcliff is not a romantic hero. He is a self-involved lunatic.
Wuthering Heights is about what happens when two utterly selfish people fall in love (or more accurately, become obsessed with one another). Most of the story is about the fallout from that (which affects EVERYONE AROUND THEM because they're so bloody selfish).

Clearly I need a ranty icon.
