I agree! I just finished reading Wuthering Height and still need to process it. I finished it in 3 days and it has a lot of emotions. To express how I felt about it I'm trying to understand the characters better. Is there any way that you can share with me your paper and what you wrote about Heathcliff? I would like to know what are your thoughts! Seen that you are an older member.Natalie Charlene wrote: ↑15 Nov 2018, 10:46 This is a tough one! i love both of these novels, and picking just one doesn't seem right, but forced to choose, I'm team Pride & Prejudice. I've lost track of how many times I've read that book, but I have only read Jane Eyre once. However, if we are pitting Austen against Bronte, my all-time favorite would have to be Wuthering Heights. I wrote a paper a few years back about the mental instability of Heathcliff, and it made me appreciate the text so much more.

A little unrelated to that: when I was first reading Jane Eyre, I remember a certain boy in my school commenting: "Jesus, she's reading the Bible!"
Back to the topic, I could compare the two books to Wuthering Heights because I liked the book when I first read it, but when I read it the second time, it did not necessarily change my mind, but it definitely sparked a couple of questions in my mind.

The male characters are more likeable in P and P than in Jane Eyre. Rochester as a Byronic hero is fine, but he really just seems like a jerk to me. In addition, I enjoy the familial aspect that Austen brings to the table in her novel. Where Jane is alone in her story, Elizabeth has her sisters to assist her. Really I just prefer Austen's characters to Brontë's, I suppose.
