Jane eyre wuthering heights5/21/2023 To be fair, the WH characters do find themselves in unfavorable circumstances (who else is Catherine supposed to marry but Edgar and Heathcliff couldn't catch a break once his benefactor died), but still, couldn't Heathcliff have found a better outlet for his emotions than abusing anyone who dares wander near? Actually, I found the story more implausible than your average work of fiction. And I'd ten times rather spend an afternoon in Jane's company than Catherine's. WH was overblown, overwrought, and is Heathcliff seriously supposed to be a romantic hero? Ugh! Give me Mr. But it is clear that cool Charlotte's temperament is quite different from Emily's. I was surprised to find the two books so different: after all both were written by insulated and isolated sisters inexperienced in the world who died young. This seems to be the response opposite to the majority. I loved Jane Eyre, but am left mostly cold by Wuthering Heights, except for what I suspect will be a lingering irritation at the actions of the main characters. JE was a re-read for the first time in nearly 20 years.
