(Like all of my posts, this got way out of control.)
I am going to take some time to talk a little bit about Wuthering Heights, after having very recently read the book for the first time. Wuthering Heights has come up on my tumblr (and here too) before, but it really has not been represented to the degree that it deserves. It is a glorious incestuous mess. I’m sure many of you – maybe even most of you – are familiar in varying degrees with the story. Some of you are probably experts on it, and will soon realize that I am not. This is mainly directed towards those who are more unfamiliar with Wuthering Heights and its various movie adaptations. (I’ll be doing cursory examinations of the eight most faithful adaptations and the book Nelly Dean.) This is more of a presentation of the relevant aspects of the story and some discussion of the variations and possibilities than a deep literary analysis to wow and stun even its biggest fans.
There has been tons of literary criticism written about Wuthering Heights. I would love to take a whole course on this book, reading theses and writing essays and listening to lectures. But who has time for that? I’ll just suffice it to say that I’m not knee-deep in professional literary analysis. This is just a girl who read the book one time who likes incest shipping and wants to show the relationships and characters from the story a little love.
