Re: Tell us that one literary classic novel you hate...

Wuthering Heights. Dry writing first and foremost, although some of that was the era. Even my professor didn't seem to like it.

Same. Writing is really dry, the whole story-with-in-a-story framing device makes it worse and none of the main characters are very likeable or interesting, IMO.

I don't hate it, but I also never saw it as a beautiful tragic romance. It's a weirdly voyeuristic series of glimpses into the lives of these people who are very far from the saintly protagonists you find in every other book of that era.

This was going to be my answer! I actually like a lot of literary classics, but I just can't through Wuthering Heights. I have tried to read it three separate times and each time I give up, frustrated and bored to tears. Its frustrating because I think the themes are kind of interesting, I just can't get through it, and I've had so many people rave about it to me, it just makes me feel like I'm missing something :/

(I had a similar experience with Jane Eyre. Why can't I read the Brontës?)

I hated Wuthering Heights because I couldn't connect with any of the characters. I just wanted someone to root for, but I couldn't stand any of them.

This. It was so hard to get through when all I could think of was, "The world would be better off you all just died in a fire".

Yes. Also unlikeable characters. All of them.

Oh god I HATAED that book. I didn't like any of the characters, and thought the plot was pointless. I suppose it did evoke the setting well, though? I had a good image of what I was reading, so that was one bonus.

I’ve never gotten all the way through Wuthering Heights for the same reason I couldn’t stand Madame Bovary—all the characters were horrible people, boring, or both.
