people calling Wuthering Heights a romance has me tweaking, genuinely.
#i will fight people on this i'm so deadass#it is a story of cyclical domestic abuse and codependent relationships#does it have quotes that are very romantic? yes it does i will not deny that#some of the things that cathy and heathcliff say are very beautiful but when you look at it through the lense of-#two children who were abused by the people meant to take care of them and whose bond changed in a very unhealthy way-#as a way to cope in an unsafe environment the perspective starts to shift.#when reading it i read cathy as someone who never really fully grew up and heathcliff was just horrible to both cathy and literally everyon#when you look at his background it's very understandable and I can see how that could have happened#he was abandoned as a child and was very malnurished before the start of the book i can hardly imagine what his life was like#and he experiences more trauma afterwards however he treats others so horribly that it can't be excused#his relationship with cathy was unhealthily codependent i mean bro literally dug up cathys dead body to lay next to it#there is no world and no context where that is healthy#i have similar opinions on Jane Eyre i was tweaking near the end i swear#forgive my yap session
