My love of Wuthering Heights has increased with age, I think because as I've gotten older I've learned to appreciate the finer intricacies of emotion. <BR/><BR/>I've never read Heart of Darkness. Considering my tastes, I'd probably like it.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434184208280400768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673519716308112351.post-20405183966532662742009-02-08T15:12:00.000-08:002009-02-08T15:12:00.000-08:00Wuthering Heights is by no means a good story.

BUT: the reason the book is so wonderful is that it is so full of emotion and feeling.<BR/>I genuinely hated it the first time I read it. Then I had to read it again for a college english class, along with a few other classics I had previously hated. Reading it when I was a little older with a little more perspective really improved my opinion of it, and now I can genuinely say it is one of my favorites. Another on that list was Heart of Darkness. I have immense respect for that book.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15676485158487357907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673519716308112351.post-14035542737549246612009-02-08T06:09:00.000-08:002009-02-08T06:09:00.000-08:00You're not alone in that judgement.

Perhaps I can't help myself.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434184208280400768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673519716308112351.post-84367563966457327592009-02-08T05:59:00.000-08:002009-02-08T05:59:00.000-08:00I'm afraid that despite my love for classic litera...I'm afraid that despite my love for classic literature, I really hated Wuthering Heights.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673519716308112351.post-61419133647880053142009-02-03T13:01:00.000-08:002009-02-03T13:01:00.000-08:00Thanks for the heads up.

I have one at my house I have been wanting to watch. I will have to try that one. <BR/><BR/>I hate it when people change the way stories were originally intended to be read/watched. When they add their "artistic flare" to an already good story. The original story is good enough, why change it? <BR/><BR/>A few years ago I went to the play "A Christmas Carol" and I as so excited, I love the story. Well, they changed it all and had it be friends getting together at Charles Dicken's house and acting out the story. Needless to say it wasn't very good and I was very disappointed. Why mess with perfection?? :)<BR/><BR/>I guess they want to be original but what they don't realize is that most enjoy the original stories and all they want to see is that origianl story come to life.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498952539780388706noreply@blogger.com
