Rezension von THUESSYWoah das Buch war super komplex! Es thematisierte sehr viel dunkle Materie, wie Gewalt, Rassismus, toxische Liebe, Rache - viele mehr und das auch Generationsübergreifend. Die Handlung fand im 18. Jh. statt und war demnach recht schwer zu lesen (vor allem auf Englisch). Und obwohl Heathcliff und Catherine so dargestellt wurden, dass man den Charakter fast schon hassen sollte, gab es dennoch viele Momente, in denen ich trotzdessen Mitleid gefühlt hatte, weil man wusste, warum die Person so gehandelt hat, wie sie es tat - egal wie falsch es war. Es hat auch wahrscheinlich viel damit zu tun, in welcher Zeit es spielte und das die Handlungen mehr abgegolten werden konnten als „normal“ - auch wenn es in der heutigen Zeit als moralisch grau bzw. schwarz gelten würd. Alles in allem: Ein solides, interessantes Buch, was sehr herzzerbrechend ist. Für die Zeit, in der Brönte es geschrieben hatte, war es bestimmt super fortgeschritten.
Rezension von MiriWuthering Heights is not a love story. It’s a destructive storm. It’s about two souls. They are not gentle. They do not save one another. They burn, and in burning, they scar everyone around them. It‘s not love - it’s obsession, pride, revenge. Bonded by trauma. Some connections do not make us better. They destroy us. Brontë was not writing a polite love story. She was dissecting obsession, identity, and the destructive cost of denying one’s inner truth. Catherine’s death is the logical conclusion of a personality that experiences love not as attachment, but as ontological necessity - as necessary as oxygen. She understood something brutal and timeless: the most dangerous prison is the life you build against your own nature.

Rezension von Paul Schwarzmüllerliked the story, somehow felt really involved. i liked the way how the plot was portrayed, showing the weird situation in wuthering heights at the start, and continually moving towards that point in time through flashbacks narrated by ellen dean. didn't have a lot of characters, which made it less confusing and allowed you to build a connection with each and every one. a bit weird that there were only a few somewhat likeable characters. but although you didn't really root for anybody, you still wanted to turn the pages as quickly as possible. the 2nd volume not was as good as the first one, as it felt less exciting and more predictable in a way.
