My Thoughts and Highlights From The Novel

Here are some of my thoughts and I highlighted some stuff amidst my read which I will like to share with you

My Thoughts: 

1. The Novel talks about Hindley Earnshaw jealousy and maltreatment towards Heathcliff because his father affection for the orphan boy became more than he had for him. Thus resulting in Catherine Disapproval to think of Heathcliff as a future lover and companion. In the end game Heathcliff resulting to seek revenge for his maltreatment and not been able to have Catherine Earnshaw.

• In life we must be careful and try at all means not to meddle in love or relationship affairs of our friends, relatives and loved ones because sometimes in the process of we may stir up unwanted grievances and malice.

• We should be careful of who we fight and hurt in life process because some people may seek revenge at us at all cost not caring who gets hurts or not. Not everybody has the spirit of forgiveness; Coz, "Forgiveness is a gift and not all are gifted"

My Highlights:

Wuthering is a difficult read because of its old English, but I tried to high some text out.

Highlight One: “Honest people dont hide their deeds"

Highlight Two: “Treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends; they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies.

Highlight Three: "By all means sseek peace of thy offender over Revenge".

Highlights Three: Well, we MUST be for ourselves  in  the  long  run; the  mild  and  generous  are  only  more  justly  selfish  than  the domineering;  and  it  ended  when  circumstances  caused  each to  feel  that  the  ones  interest  was  not  the  chief  consideration in  the  others  thoughts. 

Learned Vocabularies: Effeminate, Immolation, Sanguine, Misanthropic
