Favorite Summer Reading

My favorite summer reading book was Wuthering Heights. it definietly kept my interest, although i did get confused at some parts. this novel had a lot of major themes in it. one of the main ones was good vs. evil. it is shown throughtout the whole book. heathclliff starts off as a good guy, or at least it appears like that and then he basically just goes crazy after catherine dies. he wants to basically ruin edgars life and posses eveyting that he posses, which he basically acheives at the end of the book. he is constantly trying to be better than edgar and does things just out of spite of him, like marrying his sister. another theme was love and passion. heathcliff is so passioniately in love with catherine and his life is just ruined when she dies. he was still haunted by her and thought about her all the time, even 20 years later. cathy and linton are supposedly "in love" even though i dont think is was real. and then cathy and hearton were in love and catherine and edgar were in love. Basically everyone falls in love with Cathy or Catherine.
