Wuthering Heights

(I thought I'd blogged about this already, but apparently I forgot.)
For the end of last term, my AP Lit class read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. And all I can say, is that I wish that that woman had written much more before she died. The book was fast-paced for a book written over a century ago, much faster than those of her sisters as well as others she is often compared with, such as Jane Austen.
I really enjoyed the book itself. It had a lot of gothic symbolism and there were tons and tons of character things that were great and essential. The plot was really windy and twisted and I was glad we did a acting-out of it before we read the book, or else I'd have been terribly confused (maybe, maybe not...).
All in all, I really liked the book. It belongs on my top list of classics that I enjoyed reading.
(I'd write more, but I really don't feel like it. I'm so lazy.)
