Question: If I like Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, would you recommend Wuthering Heights!?
Is it as good as Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Wuthering Heights is my favorite book of all time!. I would *highly* recommend it!.
It is a lot darker than Pride & Prejudice and Jane Eyre!. It is a more complicated, intense read!.
The characters are a lot more complex in Wuthering Heights, there is no clear person that you "root" for, as the "hero" (Heathcliff) and "heroine" (Catherine) in Wuthering Heights are thoroughly unlikeable characters!. The "hero" is one of the most hateful, angry, dark, and verngeance-obsessed characters ever written!. The love story of Heathcliff and Catherine is the story of an unhealthy, obsessive love that destroys them and everyone around them!.

It is exactly this reason, though, that the novel is so incredibly fascinating!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Er !. !. !. yeah!? To be honest, I like it a lot better than either P&P or Jane Eyre!. Wuthering Heights is emotions exposed to the raw, vengeance and cruelty all compounded to one evil man!. So it's pure awesome!. Although Cathy Earnshaw is downright annoying!.
And if you liked all of those, I REALLY suggest The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bront?!. IMO, that is the best out of Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights!. It's about this woman in an abusive relationship who tries to get her and her son out of it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love, love, love Jane Austen!. My favorites are Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice!. I did not like Jane Eyre much at all and don't know if I'll read anymore of either Bronte sister!. I know that the sisters were quite critical of Austen's novels!. I would recommend more Jane Austen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's different!. Lots of angst, intense emotion, brooding, and no happy ending!. Good read though!. The tone resembles more that of Jane Eyre though, darkish, and Gothic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i love austen, and i like bronte!. i just started reading wuthering heights a couple days ago and so far it's really good!. i don't know yet if it will be better than pride and prejudice though :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

You need a high tolerance for characters who are really rather despicable people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have never read Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre, but I did like Wuthering Heights a lot!. I would recommend it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
