[Opinions] Re: Heath
in reply to a message by Lily
Despite my love for the novel, and the fact that I seem to have somewhat more sympathy for Heathcliff than most people do, I would never name my son after him, that's for sure. He was filled with hate and anger, and this led him to lead an unhappy life. I don't think that's a good vibe, to say the least.His passion for Cathy was so intense that it led him to resent her daughter, because her daughter was the product of her union with another man, a man who had supplanted him. Not that I would ever approve of a passion that produced that as a result, but that's the sort of emotion that makes the novel so fascinating to me.
