something about Emily Brontë ending with Wuthering Heights, a novel about obsession and revenge and how it does no one good, with Hareton and Catherine - two extremely wronged characters, Hareton especially - rising above their circumstances and getting married just scratches my brain right

#while we're at it #let's talk about how love both ruined the families and also helped them because Heathcliff drove Isabella and Edgar apart...#...and ruined the relationship between the Earnshaws and Lintons because he loved Cathy Sr too much...#...and was too consumed with getting revenge against everyone because he couldn't be with his love #but it's love that helped reunite Hareton (an Earnshaw) - someone wronged by Heathcliff's quest for revenge - and Cathy Jr (a Linton)#because love was what made Cathy Jr stop making fun of Hareton's illiteracy and Hareton try to better himself for Cathy Jr #i could be completely misinterpreting the book idk #but i love how it turned out #that this book which is built off a story that ravages everything in its wake causing people to want to die for release...#...ends in such a hopeful manner with a wedding between characters that managed to not let the mistakes of their ancestors affect them?...#...characters that managed to be better than who they came from?#wuthering heights #i love you #emily bronte #you were that bitch #literature
