Wuthering Heights

I've read Wuthering Heights before, about four years ago in high school. And this is one of those "the place you are in your life determines the context of the book you're reading" scenarios, for sure. Because I recall thoroughly enjoying this the first time I read it, and I believe I connected to the characters and found the writing impeccable. Perhaps it was because there was so much interaction with the book (given that it was a high school course), with projects and discussions and multiple essays that I was fooled into thinking I enjoyed it simply because I had so much incessant exposure to it. I still enjoy the atmosphere of the book-- I feel like it's somehow a cozy read mingled with anticipation, and it is nice to return to the complicated story within the story of Nelly and Lockwood, and to be reintroduced to the complex array of characters like Heathcliff. I just don't seem to have a deep connection to the book like I felt I did before? Maybe it's because I know the characters and don't identify with them the way I used to, or maybe I just wasn't as exposed to literature the first time I read it so I felt like it was one of the first real classics I enjoyed. I'm not sure, I think I will see where my opinion goes as I keep reading-- I vaguely recall the story picking up pace and gaining momentum and I think there are some interesting plot twists and scandals. We'll see!
