As I think I mentioned earlier, it's a pretty solid treatment of the book. <br /><br />Catherine's idealism drove me crazy though. She led Heathcliff on and almost seemed convinced that she wasn't really betraying him by marrying Edgar. That makes me wonder if her 'love' for Heathcliff was just simply physical and circumstantial rather than pure, selfless love. <br /><br />The novel also reinforces the notion that girls only want the Bad Boy. I'm curious how true that was in Bronte's time.bren j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09132628402113226709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675680158791025328.post-14643596207601758762011-01-07T08:39:55.316-08:002011-01-07T08:39:55.316-08:00I was force fed this book as a college freshman an...I was force fed this book as a college freshman and could not remember a thing about it afterward. I read on my own after college and thought that Cathy's death was punishment for her treatment of Heathcliffe. Then I watched the 1939 film and all I could think about was how handsome Laurence Olivier was as a young man. ;)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247623696373737347noreply@blogger.com
