What Do I think Of Wuthering Heights????

Recently I read Wuthering Heights as one of my extension English texts, here is what I have to say:

• Ok seriously, after reading the first three chapters I wanted to KILL Mr. Lockwood. I found him sooo annoying! I found his narration to be boring and conceited.
• As well as finding Mr Lockwood really annoying I also found the miserable farmhands at WH really frustrating. I know they were used to help create in the readers mind how dark and miserable the atmosphere of the property was but I wanted to kill them as well!!!! I hate with a passion people who are trashy, uneducated and mean so these fictional characters really annoyed me. I just wanted to scream at them and hit them with something really really heavy.
• And seriously all of those dogs?!?! PUT THEM DOWN!!! The whole pack of dogs thing made me feel disgusting on the inside, I don't quite know why.
• I liked the themes in WH. I found how dark it was to be a welcome surprise. I had this funny idea in my head that it would just be about two people standing on a hill that’s really high with lots of wind blowing everywhere while they made out. Yeah.... I really don't know why I expected that. So yes my expectations were definitely surpassed.
• Another thing that surprised me was the structure of the novel; I did not expect the romance to be from before the novel is actually set being told to Mr Lockwood. I found the non linear structure interesting to read and it really grabbed my attention.
• There was so much plotting and revenge in this novel, although I found it intriguing I also found it frustrating. Although it drew me in I also found it annoying. Can't people just be honest and admit how they feel. There were just to many moments that made me want to slap the characters over the head.
• Heathcliff, although I begun to understand you and sometimes pity you, I must just say, you are a bastard!

I know I seem to be complaining a lot about WH but I actually liked it for the reasons that it annoyed me... I find that when a book triggers an emotional response it tends to be a book that I've enjoyed. WH surpassed what I thought it would be which I enjoyed. I like being surprised. J
