As for Things of Process- or for Bronte's Aesthetics whose Act is not eternally invariable- "A fiend of a book – an incredible monster" "The action is laid in hell, – only it seems places and people have English names there." we must hold that these are due to the timely metre of the work; Causelessness is quite inadmissible as an explanation for such themes; we can make no place here for unwarranted "slantings, phrase etc" for sudden movement of tone apart from any initiating power within her work, for precipitate spurts in a soul with nothing to drive it into the new course of action as evidence by the actions of Heathcliff. Such causelessness would bind the Soul under an even sterner compulsion, no longer master of itself, but at the mercy of movements apart from will and cause. Something willed- within itself or without- something desired, must lead it to action; without motive it can have no motion -- all superbly visible in the characterisation of Linton.

One of my favourite novels. I wept multiple times.

Good book, but plebs don't get it. Plebs never get anything good.

Didn't overly enjoy it. Had some definite highlights though:

>When the kids first snuck up to the window and saw their future cousins arguing

>This Quote: [Talking about Heathcliffe's influence] "And we'll see if one tree won't grow as crooked as another, with the same wind to twist it!"

I think the reason I disliked it may have been due to expectations, as I was given the appraisal of it as a "Violent story of two star-crossed lovers" which may technically fit the script, but wasn't what I was expecting.

I'm also kinda' plebby and don't like Victorian prose too much. I think I gave it 2.5/5 in my bookclub
