Transcript by OP

Coming of age in the 90s, I read Wuthering Heights in school. It was the only required reading I devoured.

Then I spent the rest of my adult life either keeping quiet about it or trying to persuade haters that I wasn't a silly, brainless girl for romanticizing its trashiness.

And I'm done. I love it. Period. Completely and unapologetically. IDGAF what anyone thinks that says about me as a person. And I feel vindicated by the new adaptation. I feel like it's finally OK to revel in its death-by-uncontrollable-passion glory. I feel free.

In my English lit class in high school around the same time, there was a clear divide between the people who loved "Pride and Prejudice" and the people who loved "Wuthering Heights." I don't think there was anyone who enjoyed both. I was a "Wuthering Heights" gal myself. I get it.

I don't care for the book, but figured I'm in the minority because almost 200 years later new editions are still being published and new adaptations are being made. I think OP has plenty of company liking this book?

I find it so bizarre and sad that you were teased for enjoying Bronte. Sometimes people were teased as being too nerdy for liking Bronte or Shakespeare or some other "assigned reading" type of book but not to the point that it seems you were. I'm glad you've reached your IDGAF error OP. Enjoy what you enjoy and give no fucks!

Yeah, I was unusual in my class for being a girl who was a good student, but didn’t like Wuthering Heights.

I wasn’t teased exactly, but it did mark me out as a bit weird.

No one thinks I'm nerdy. They think I'm trashy for liking the trashy toxicity of the novel. Compared to whichever sister wrote the nice novel.

Anyway, I'm going to see the trashy adaptation tomorrow, and I can't wait!

da

Maybe you could switch things up a bit, and talk with the millions who share your interest and keep quiet around the people who don't. It might even take some weight off those thirty-something years you chose to do the opposite. Maybe.

None of the sisters wrote "nice" novels, and Jane Eyre's just as toxic as Wuthering Heights. Agnes Grey isn't particularly toxic, but it's also the least popular of the main three Bronte novels by far. I'm sorry you've spent your life surrounded by weirdos who have shamed you for enjoying one of the most popular novels in English literature, and I hope you enjoy your movie.

Right? Like I don't doubt OPs experience but this is so weird. But just so sad they landed surrounded by weirdos out there shaming people for liking the English Lit classics.

Good for you, nonny! I didn't like Wuthering Heights because everyone in it is passoinately horrible, but I will defend to the death people's right to enjoy it *because* everyone in it is passionately horrible!

I think you're strange obsession that you believe liking a book defines you as a person is a lot more telling then the fact you liked that book in the first place. wtf dude.
