Classic Literature?

We are reading the acclaimed Wuthering Heights in AP English because it is "profound literature." However, I beg to differ. It is by far one of the most monotonous and meaningless stories I have ever read. I understand that it is famous for its passionate love story and depiction of the Victorian Era, but honestly, it’s just plain annoying. There is not one character in the entire story that I like, and that makes the reading impossible to relate to or even care about. At first Heathcliff was the epitome of the intriguing bad boy, but as the story moves on he evolves into an evil, revengeful man. And Catherine, what a sorry joke of a main character. She’s obviously a manipulative, whiny, self righteous little skank. She abandons her own feelings and throws herself into a terrible situation, and then cries about the horrible predicament she faces until she randomly dies mid-story. Oh, and she has a child right before death. That little fact was slipped in there in like half a sentence. By volume two, the entire story begins to repeat itself with new little versions of Catherine and Heathcliff. It is the never ending dreadful story that I look forward to never having to think about again.


The end.
