Look what others have said:


 * "Wuthering Heights, by Ellis Bell, is a terrific story, associated with an equally fearful and repulsive spot. It should have been called Withering Heights, for any thing from which the mind and body would more instinctively shrink, than the mansion and its tenants, cannot be imagined. ...Our novel reading experience does not enable us to refer to anything to be compared with the personages we are introduced to at this desolate spot – a perfect misanthropist's heaven." -- New Monthly Magazine **


 * "How a human being could have attempted such a book as the present without committing suicide before he had finished a dozen chapters, is a mystery. It is a compound of vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors." -- Graham's Lady's Magazine (USA) **


 * "An attempt to give novelty and interest to fiction, by resorting to those singular 'characters' that used to exist everywhere, but especially in retired and remote places. The success is not equal to the abilities of the writer; chiefly because the incidents are too coarse and disagreeable to be attractive, the very best being improbable, with a moral taint about them, and the villainy not leading to results sufficient to justify the elaborate pains taken in depicting it. The execution, however, is good: grant the writer all that is requisite as regards matter, and the delineation is forcible and truthful." -- Unknown Spectator **


 * "This novel contains undoubtedly powerful writing, and yet it seems to be thrown away. We want to know the object of a fiction. Once people were contented with a crude collection of mysteries. Now they desire to know why the mysteries are revealed. Do they teach mankind to avoid one course and to take another? Do they dissect any portion of existing society, exhibiting together its weak and its strong points? If these questions were asked regarding Wuthering Heights, there could not be an affirmative answer given." -- Tait's Edinburgh Magazine **


 * Reason for picking the quotes: **
 * The first i picked because its stating that everyone's way of doing things is different, In the story Heathcliff is happy when hes alone. Everybody finds happiness in different forms whether it be alone, with someone else, etc. **
 * The second quote I put in there because, It was describing what Catherine saw her opinion on what was going on in the home. **
 * The third quote I found describes much feelings of the book. **


 * The reason I picked the video I did is because it's a song about the book and kind of briefly describes what happens in the book. **
