Wuthering, Wuthering, Wuthering Heights

Okay, so it was the first week of Victorian Novel class and we had to sign up to do group projects on one of the books from the syllabus. Wuthering Heights was the first book, a book I have always really adored. . .until now. I thought it was perfect - I loved the book, and it was first, so I could get everything over with first thing and have the rest of the semester to chill. Right? Wrong. I am so sick of Heathcliff and Cathy, and Cathy and Hareton, and I am really sick of reading feminist interpretations of the book. Talk about drama. I don't find their story romantic - I find it laughable because they are so ridiculous. I just read it for the creepy factor. One interesting thing I came across in my research was this incredibly strange music video from the '70's. It's a song about Wuthering Heights, and apparently this chick is supposed to be Cathy's ghost in the music video. It's pretty entertaining because it's so out there. Wow. Is the semester over yet?
