I read Wuthering Heights in full years ago, hated the whole damn thing. I mean, I could give my laundry list of complaints about it, but mainly—I just didn't like any of the characters and I didn't really give a crap about what happened to any of them, either. I only really finished it because I had a real completionist streak back then.

Found out later my grandfather had also read the book, back when my mother was a wee bitty thing, and ALSO hated it. Same laundry list of complaints. Same completionist streak.

Later my grandmother, who had never read the book, went to see the movie version with Laurence Olivier and thought it was the BEST THING EVER and the MOST ROMANTIC STORY OH and started calling my mother Cathy (her name is Kate) because IT'S SO ROMANTIC. Whenever she did that, my grandfather started calling my uncle "Heathcliff". Trolling: not just for computers anymore

The whole "KATE NOW YOU ARE CATHY BECAUSE ~ROMANCE~" thing also led to my mother reading it much later in college, and being fucking horrified, what the fuck is this shit MOM YOUR IDEAS OF ROMANTIC ARE CRAZY

tl;dr that's three solid generations of hate for Wuthering Heights, and Laurence Olivier can make anything look fantastic
