Heathcliff

He'll never make the scene.

I mean, is, is it, is it Heathcliff?

No, it's not.

It's called Wow.

Seven and a half minutes of Celine Dion and Jim Steinman, glorious, glorious music.

Yeah, it's a bit cheesy, but it's brilliant And Jim Steinman in an interview said that that song was inspired by the scene in Wuthering Heights when Heathcliff dances with Cathy's corpse on a beach.

Yeah, I know.

If you know anything about Wuthering Heights, you say, "I don't remember that." No, you don't remember it, 'cause it never happened.

Because this is 80 years before Ulysses, Mrs. Dalloway, stuff like that.

And Emily Bronte is delivering this book where you start in the point of view of a traveller on the road, and he goes to this mansion, and then he meets Heathcliff, but then he starts speaking to the housekeeper, who starts giving her version of events as relayed kind of by the other characters.

So you have like three layers of... unreliable narrators giving you different versions of events.

They tell the story of Heathcliff and Cathy, but then in the second half of the book, you have this kind of second generation who all kind of have the same names.

So there's like Hairtons and Hindleys and young Cathy, and they kind of reenact the events of the first half, but make better choices.

So it's about the cycle of abuse, but it's also just a very... kind of weirdly almost like intentionally difficult book because it it comes to this brilliant realization and all of that is kind of through heathcliff who is like haunting the narrative throughout so i think it's very ahead of its time and i think it really deserves a visit if your only knowledge of it is from the uh jacob elordi version very good but more than that i'd say read shark heart

The reviews, you'd believe the book was kind of the most morally repugnant thing that had ever been let out into the world simply because it kind of it doesn't have a clear moral compass.

And if anything, it skews towards the kind of really horrible sides of human nature.

Call him a big fat Garfield cat.

Or Heathcliff.

Of course, you guys know I'm a Heathcliff guy.

Heathcliff the OG, Garfield the spoiled bitch.

But he does make me laugh.

So he says, if I get Kat's endorsement, he's a billionaire, multi-billionaire, this guy in New York, big-time guy.

Gee, I don't know, Peg.

I could have planned that a little better, but it was always funny when it was like, hey kids, stay tuned for the crazy adventures of Heathcliff.

Just cutting into the scenes of the deep cartoon.

All right.

In Wuthering Heights, the theme of death, longing and emotional connections are deeply embodied in the characters' relationship.

The intense passion between Kathy and Heathcliff could be seen as a reflection of Emily's own inner turmoil.

Emily did not often express her grief openly, but through her writing she poured out her complex emotions surrounding loss.

Branwell Bronte's grief over the death of his older sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, was deeply felt, though it didn't always come through in his writing.

So the Byronic hero, it refers to Lord Byron himself.

And then scholars have categorized characters like Rochester in Jane Eyre, Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice through Heathcliff in Weathering Heights, different levels of like the dark, distant man who is blunt or precise, because he's emotionally unavailable.

In the series, Thornton's struggles are shown through intense silences and defensive posturing and short bursts of temper and a towering presence over Margaret.

I feel like Richard Armitage plays like the perfect character Tall, dark, handsome, somewhat mysterious, intense, grumpy, male lead, like protect her at all costs type.
