BOOOOOOORING..

Though the book itself is quite interesting.
And I'm really writing and essay on other essays conserning Wuthering Heights :p
but the point is, I've gotta figure out which of the questions to write about (we can choose between 6)
I'm thinking of going for this:

Read the essay by Susan Meyer that combines several theoretical perspectives, and write an essay in which you consider the following questions. How does Meyer’s essay modify your experience of reading or re-reading Wuthering Heights? Is your experience enriched or diminished by this information? In what ways is it enriched or diminished? Is Meyer’s approach more successful as a means of understanding the novel than those that are more committed to a single (psychoanalytic, Marxist and/or Feminist) approach? You may wish to limit your comparison to one of the three other approaches.

Now that Susan Meyer essay really states the obvious sometimes. For those of you who read the book, did you know, that all those comments about Heatcliff being dark and everyone treating him like a thief (for example when he and Cathrine are caught peeping into Thrushcross Grange) because of his colour, could infact the interpreted as racist? :eek:

some of it's rather good and interesting though, but I'll be saying that the "combining perspectives" essay really sometimes just doesn't go deep enough.

now this was an entierly pointless thread, but I'm sitting here with the book in front of me and I'd really rather post about it than read about it.. :p
 
Funny, I'm a fan of the classics, but this is one I'm sure I've never read
 
Then you should read it! It really is a classic (coming from the guy for whom this is the only classic he's read)
 
Maybe I will. I'm just about to finish my last new book, The Deerslayer by James Fenimore Cooper. I like a lot of American and British classics. My favorite writer is John Steinbeck.

I don't hold myself to that genre though, hell I read the Harry Potter books
 
About Harry Potter, it's important to remember to spit in peoples face as you pronounce the P.
