Wuthering Heights

Soooo the thing is, I can't even say Heathcliff is a psychopath because he does show love to Catherine. Ok, more like obsession most of the time, which would still be part of the psychopathy in the sense it was extremely egocentric, always going back to how he would feel (not making it up, just check):

a mental disorder in which an individual manifests amoral and antisocial behavior, lack of ability to love or establish meaningful personal relationships, extreme egocentricity, failure to learn from experience, etc.

But he does almost cry at some point after she's gone, so there, maybe it was love. Crazy, violent, absurd love. Love that would make headlines if not for Miss Brontë's literary talent - or don't you think “gypsy undigs loved one's body” isn't headline material?, but love. Just not my kind of love, I'm afraid, which made reading it a bit more difficult.
I can appreciate it, as well as all the symbolism, which is interesting and deep. I can also see where he was coming, having been a child who was shown little love. But I have a hard time understanding everyone else's cruelty and egocentrism (from Nelly to Joseph, from Linton to Edgar, jeez, selfish much? rude much?) and saw myself making faces at the kindle when I wanted to slap someone's into politeness, as crazy as it sounds (see, it is contagious).

So, read at your own will. It will make you sad, it has some of the deeper and purest and most beautiful love quotations ever, - only, when you put them in context, it's like ‘whine whine whine, slap people around, leave and not talk to anyone for three years, sulk and growl at people, beautiful line that makes you swoon; whine whine whine, throw fits, manipulate everyone and everything to make it your way, be unreasonably cruel to everyone except Cathy/Heathcliff, beautiful line that makes your heart swell' rinse and repeat.

But you know, whatever floats your boat.

Last but not least: there's a feeble attempt at a redeeming ending with a silver lining in the personification of Hareton, the boy nobody wanted (sounds similar to Heathcliff?) and, surprise, Cathy, playing The guy from Eliza Doolittle to him and teaching him until they fall for each other - when he ends up educated, with the girl and the inheritance after a life full of misery. Yay.
