Pros: Bronte was ahead of her time in painting this picture of dysfunctional relationships.
Cons: Must be read more than once to be truly appreciated.

The goal of this Epinion is to pre-digest some of the hard to swallow verbiage associated with Bronte's Wuthering Heights. My belief, having read this three or four times, is that it is nearly impossible to see through the thick...
