Wuthering Heights

I just finished the novel Wuthering Heights over spring break and a week later I’m still not sure what I think about it.
On the one hand, it was a very powerful book. The emotions are very raw and the characters are much deeper than the hero/villain stereotypes. So generally, I really enjoyed this book and it was something I would read again. But, on the other hand, Wuthering Heights is not exactly a feel-good book. Throughout the book, the characters’ violent passions and often lack of consciousness border on discomforting.
The main idea of the book, for those who haven’t read it, is that the love between Catherine and Healthcliff is thwarted. Then the rest of the story is how it affects the lives around them. I was never quite certain of who I was sympathetic to during the story as the characters were usually either spoiled or (there’s no clearer way to say it) just mean. But it is too simple to simply say that Healthcliff was just a bad person when you see his torment over Catherine being lost.
Unfortunately, my thoughts are still a bit too muddled to be writing this. I feel like I need to read the book again in order to give an accurate opinion of it. So I would recommend it, but make sure you keep your names straight (many characters have very similar names).
