NEVER be vulnerable. FLUSH your medication down the toilet. LIE when people ask how you’re doing. SUPPRESS your feelings. ALWAYS be irritable and abrasive. MAKE SURE you push away anyone who’s close to you. CANCEL your therapy appointment.

something about catherine always being locked in boxes, or locking herself in boxes: her childhood bedroom in which she's locked in and starved as a child. her bed which is like a cabinet. thrushcross grange as a whole. the kitchen in which she locks in herself, heathcliff and edgar. her bedroom in thrushcross grange in which she locks herself in to starve herself to death. her coffin. and something about how heathcliff tries to get her out of those boxes. they run away from wuthering heights as children. he takes her out on walks on the moors again after his return. he breaks into thrushcross grange to hold her in her final moments of consciousness. he RIPS OPEN HER COFFIN. do you hear me!?

“Robert was ordered to take me off. I refused to go without Cathy; he dragged me into the garden, pushed the lantern into my hand, assured me that Mr. Earnshaw should be informed of my behaviour, and, bidding me march directly, secured the door again. The curtains were still looped up at one corner, and I resumed my station as spy; because, if Catherine had wished to return, I intended shattering their great glass panes to a million of fragments, unless they let her out.”

(Wuthering Heights, Chapter 6)

again, it is entirely up to you whether you will take this unserious presentation made by a meme account seriously or decide to read the books or at least google them to find everything out by yourself. this is MY interpretation, made for fun.

Things I never see people mention when discussing and analyzing Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë:

Hindley's abuse towards both Cathy and Heathcliff since childhood, which is a NEED to discuss!!

Heathcliffs youth when he's still somewhat likeable or at least still has some goodness within him

Cathy literally commiting s word essentially out of spite?? Everyone says 'she dies in childbirth' and forgets to mention she STARVES HERSELF OUT OF SPITE

Edgar being part of the problem with how posh and rich kid he is

Heathcliff winning Wuthering Heights and gaining full control by essentially getting Hindley to gamble it bc he's an addict. The Hindley dies.

Helen might not be very reliable but she definetly seems to be the voice of reason lol, also no one mentions how she calls people out??? THAT'S THE BEST PART??

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

Emily Brontë, from "Wuthering Heights," originally published in 1847

I started Wuthering Heights thinking that Heathcliff being Romani/Indian/mixed was a subtext, just vague implications that may have various interpretations, seeing how the topic brings out so many heated arguments.

And within the first chapter Lockwood described him to be dark-skinned and called Heathcliff a slur. This is literally the opposite of a subtext. It's in your face. Emily Brontë could come back from the grave and confirm it on a Twitter post and there will still be people that say "She doesn't know what she's talking about"

#how is this subtle #its plain to see context #someone said that whoever denies heathcliff's race just wants him to be white #preach #wuthering heights #emily brontë #heathcliff #gothic literature #classic literature #classic lit memes

Catherine Earnshaw might be a little shit but she's MY little shit

I understand when people say Cathy and Heathcliff are both toxic and horrible and that they are the root of the major problems in the books. But like, one is definitely way worse than the other.

Cathy is the one that you send to a psych ward, and Heathcliff is the one that you send to prison.

cathy slaps her husband and pinches her maid but she would never touch a dog ... i think

Cathy slapping and pinching people were reactions at least. Heathcliff was found hanging dogs for no fucking reason other than the fact that he's a piece of shit

What I love about Wuthering Heights is the fact that Cathy was also toxic as a character. Strays away from how most female characters in relationships are always victims but Cathy was batshit crazy from the start and I think that's beautiful.

Unironically the best adaptation of Wuthering Heights

I love when the intense experiences and The High Drama of the main characters’ lives get turned into vulgar gossip by the wider community around them. It always put things into perspective.

From Dostoevsky’s The Idiot

“"Nelly," he said, "we shall have a coroner's inquest soon, at our place. One of them almost got his finger cut off with stopping the other from sticking himself like a calf. That's the master, you know, that is so set on going to the Grand Assizes [courts]. He's not worried about the bench of judges, neither Paul, nor Peter, nor John, nor Matthew, not any of them. He doesn't care—he longs to set his defiant face against them! And that bonny lad Heathcliff, you know, he's a rare one. He can grin and laugh as well as anybody at a right devil's jest. Does he never say anything of his fine living amongst us when he goes to the Grange? This is the way it is: up at sundown, dice, brandy, closed shutters, and candlelight till next day at noon: then the fool goes cursing and raving to his chamber, making decent folk put their fingers in their ears for the very shame; and the knave, he can count his money, and eat and sleep, and off to his neighbour's to gossip with his wife. Of course, he tells Catherine how her father's gold runs into his pocket, and her father's son gallops down the road to ruin, while he goes ahead to open the gates!"”

(Chapter 10, Wuthering Heights) (Joseph’s speech translation from here) (italics mine)

“‘Nelly Dean,’ said he, ‘I can’t help fancying there’s an extra cause for this. What has there been to do at the Grange? We’ve odd reports up here. A stout, hearty lass like Catherine does not fall ill for a trifle; and that sort of people should not either. It’s hard work bringing them through fevers, and such things. How did it begin?’

‘The master will inform you,’ I answered; ‘but you are acquainted with the Earnshaws’ violent dispositions, and Mrs. Linton caps them all. I may say this; it commenced in a quarrel. She was struck during a tempest of passion with a kind of fit. That’s her account, at least: for she flew off in the height of it, and locked herself up. Afterwards, she refused to eat, and now she alternately raves and remains in a half dream; knowing those about her, but having her mind filled with all sorts of strange ideas and illusions.’

‘Mr. Linton will be sorry?’ observed Kenneth, interrogatively.

‘Sorry? he’ll break his heart should anything happen!’ I replied. ‘Don’t alarm him more than necessary.’

‘Well, I told him to beware,’ said my companion; ‘and he must bide the consequences of neglecting my warning! Hasn’t he been intimate with Mr. Heathcliff lately?’

‘Heathcliff frequently visits at the Grange,’ answered I, ‘though more on the strength of the mistress having known him when a boy, than because the master likes his company. At present he’s discharged from the trouble of calling; owing to some presumptuous aspirations after Miss Linton which he manifested. I hardly think he’ll be taken in again.’”

(Chapter 10, Wuthering Heights) (italics mine)
