Wuthering Heights

So, I am listening to this song (I know, you are probably going to get really annoyed with that line. Guess what? Too bad. >snigger<) Anyway, it is Wuthering Heights by (yes! her.) Hayley Westenra. And it made me think of the book. Which I have read. Very interesting. So that is what this entry is going to be about.
CAUTION!!!!! SPOILERS ABOUT WUTHERING HEIGHTS FROM THIS POINT ONWARD!!!PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!
So, this song makes me think about the relationship of Heathcliff and Cathy. (Which, if you must know, is only the first half of the novel. Yeah, I did not know this either. It suprised me. I do not think that the 1930's movie version had it like that. Then again, the last time I saw that movie was how many years ago now?) But their relationship is all dark and self-centered and depressing and selfish and obsessive. I mean, Cathy is like 'well, I can't marry Heathcliff, cause it would degrade me to marry him (note: who the heck does she think she is?! The Queen of Sheba?), but I don't want him to go away and find happiness elsewhere because he and I are intertwined, and I don't always like him, but I need him around.' And he marries her sister-in-law (another note: Linton should have been shot in the first scene he appeared in. I have valid reasons for this. 1) His name is Linton. Which is a variation of lint. 2) He is a weany, namby-pamby, not even half-of-an-excuse-for -a-man THING. Seriously, get a life. 3) He is a blonde. Call me weird, but if you are mamby-pamby, don't even come around me, but if you are BLONDE on top of that, you fail at life. Be ashamed and go away. Think of all the weany-ish blonde/light-headed men in life and literature. A) Ashley Wilkes, Gone With the Wind. B) Raoul de Chagny, Phantom of the Opera. C) Zac Efron, of High School Musical fame, which doesn't deserve italics.) Okay, ummmm, oh yeah!! Heathcliff is just evil, forget Isabella whatever. So, that is why their relationship is not a healthy one.
But then, you read the part where they see each other for the last time, and it is like, 'wow, he really loves her.' And after she is dead, he has this long speech which is something to the effect of "You said I killed you, haunt me then! Drive me mad, only don't leave me alone in this void where I cannot find you! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!". Now, I know this is unhealthy obsession, but still, you can't help but be touched, at least if you are female.
I don't know what the purpose of this rant was, just to document that I am as swayed by sweet words as the next gal. I am a foolish girl. I readily admit it. I think you should have guessed that, at least by my last entry. So I speedily take this opportunity to shift the blame to you, my lovely readers, for not seeing this sooner. ;) But, like Bella Swan of Twilight notoriety (which most *definitely* deserves the italics) says, 'maybe their love is their only redeeming quality". Maybe it is the same for some people. Maybe, all those selfish, hateful people have loved someone. And that alone is their redeeming quality. I know love can't redeem people, in the eternal sense, but in this life..? Hmm. Food for thought.
Aaaah. I have run out of things for Wuthering Heights. Having a blog is difficult, my dearest readers. You want to keep writing, and letting people see more of what you think and feel, but then again, you want to save some for tomorrow. I must depart, for now. Imagine 'Don't Give Up' by Josh Groban. It is a good credits song.
>dances along her way.<
