Wuthering Heights - Reflection

Wuthering Heights is my favorite book. It is also remembered throughout history as treasured classic. This is due to many reasons, for example the unique way it is written. Wuthering Heights is written from the perspective of a total stranger who happens to cross paths with some interesting charachters, when he inquires about these charachters to his servent, she tells him (in great detail) of Heathcliff and Catherine's complete history, right up to the end. I believe the way Wuthering Heights is written in second person, makes it more interesting, and because the story of Heathcliff's life is told like gossip, this makes it seem more realistic and therefore more relatable to readers. Wuthering Heights remains a classic also because of the many themes present in the story. There are the themes of jelousy, revenge, selfishness, true love conquoring all, and (of course) the darkside of human nature. All these themes combined together create a very rememberable story. The charachters also help to keep this book a classic. The charachters are so unique, and so well developed that you as the reader really feel connected to them as if they were people you knew all your life. Even the minor charachters are so well developed that you think of them as real people, and feel bad when something bad happens to them (which happens quite alot in this book). The book Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte, is considered to be one of the most classic novels in literature, and it will always continue to be a classic because of the unique style in which it it written, the story line, the themes, and the charachters.
