Today's Listen: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronteë - Chapter 04
A story of intense feelings and revenge, set in the desolate Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights presents the fervent love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff until tragedy and mortality tear the tale apart. Our protagonist has no room for pity as he works on destroying the lives of those who, in his opinion, are liable for the sorrow he endures. Surprisingly, however, the following generations are met with mercy instead of brutality. This novel is romantic, ardent and untamed, and it is also a dark exploration of the human spirit.
