Wuthering Heights

All about Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights

[matthewsblue]

“And I pray one prayer—I repeat it till my tongue stiffens—Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”

-Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

‘And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet’

‘You know I didn't want to have to haunt you

But what a ghostly scene’

‘And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

But you would still miss me in your bones

And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky)

And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies)’

-Taylor Swift, My Tears Ricochet

Wuthering Heights

[shipsnsails]

So Heathcliff is not white, WH is not about romantic love - even though there is a great amount of that - but about the perpetuation of suffering from one person to another, and instead of allowing their own wounds to lead them to hurt others the final characters in the story (Hareton Earnshaw and Catherine Heathcliff) break the cycle by reaching out to each other.

Heathcliff House ~ Family Portrait ✨🐉

So if you’ve seen my stories you’ll know I literally had to draw out the family tree from #wutheringheights (me knew obsesh) to understand what was going on and tbh I still find it a wee bit complicated so I’m gonna try to illustrate their unhappy family portraits bc of course I am why are you even questioning it? Starting with Heath and the very unfortunate Isabella Linton ⛈🥀

[gothic-suggestion]

Heathcliff:

To Edgar: Fuck you

To Isabella: Fuck you

To Linton: Fuck you

To Joseph: Fuck you

To Catherine 2: Fuck you

To Hareton: Fuck you

To Nelly: Fuck you

To Catherine: Fuck me

To Hindley: Fuck you

To Lockwood: I don’t know who you are so hi

“If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.”

“...and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.”

“She was a wild, wicked slip of a girl. She burned too bright for this world"

not to be a dramatic bitch but the iconic emily bronte line ‘i wish i were a girl again, half savage and hardy and free’ hits me in the chest every time and transports me to an undisclosed rural hill in england some time in the 1800s with my hair tangling in the wind as im forced to think about everything i was and everything i’m turning into

we read this in my seminar on the British novel and my copy had a chart/cheat sheet on the families and characters in it. I copied it and handed it out to the other students before the professor showed up.

“You guys are gonna need this.”
