Book review

Wuthering Heights is a book that describes many characteristics of the people in the story. This is one of the most romantic genres in which Catherine and Heathcliff, who are the main characters, are brought in to each other’s bindings of love. Catherine’s father, Mr. Earnshaw, adopted Heathcliff from the streets, in which he loved him as dear as his real son, Hindley. By the time they grew up, Heathcliff and Catherine are now in love in which they are forbidden by their family. Mr. Earnshaw passes away and from then on Hindley is the head of the household. Hindley despises Heathcliff because of the fact that Heathcliff had been the only one who was loved by Mr. Earnshaw. Because of this, Hindley has ordered Heathcliff to eat outside and sleep in the sheds like a dog.

Throughout the story Heathcliff and Catherine both go up to Thrushcross Grange for some entertainment by watching the Linton’s play indoor badminton. As they were laughing while spying on them, the Linton’s watchdog chases them both and bites Catherine on the ankle and she is then taken care of by the Linton’s. The Linton’s were disgusted by Heathcliff’s wild behavior and background that they kicked him out. This led to the disturbance in their relationships because the Linton’s head son, Edgar Linton, had fallen in love with Catherine that he has given her everything she desired, from expensive clothing to accessories.

Heathcliff is bound to run away from Wuthering Heights to obtain revenge by becoming wealthy with power. Several years later, he has returned to Wuthering Heights with the wealth and power he desired. Catherine is rather happy than being scared of Heathcliff about his powers; however, Edgar is more afraid of Heathcliff that he orders his servants to take him out of his house, without even trying himself to take him out.
