(While you read through, there may be changes in the way I set out my work etc.) Welcome to my Wattpad Rants! These chapters will include the things I find annoying about Wattpad, but may have other things in too. You can have your own rant in here by sending it on PM and I'll add it for you! :) There may be swearing. If you don't like that, get offended or disagree with something I say then either don't comment or exit out of the book. Thank You for reading! ❤

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
