It's week 10 of the Wuthering Heights Wednesday read-along hosted by Jill at Fizzy Thoughts and we're coming in the home stretch! But I have a confession to make: I finished the book. I couldn't stop at the end of chapter 30, so just kept going. Yes, there was a surprise or two. If you're sticking to the schedule though, I'm not going to spoil it for you. Summary
- Cathy and Linton are married.
- Edgar, realizing Cathy is being mistreated, tries unsuccessfully to change his will. He dies before the lawyer (under Heathcliff's control) arrives.
- Linton dies - at last!
- Heathcliff gains control of Thrushcross Grange and insists Cathy return to Wuthering Heights.
- Heathcliff digs up Cathy I's grave.
My thoughts
I'll save this for next week. Now that I know the outcome, it's hard to comment on just this section. The end is near...
Reading Along
I nearly did the same, but I stopped myself. Though I hope to read it before Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI finished, too...which is why I didn't have much to say this week, either. I'm looking forward to everyone's final thoughts next week!
ReplyDeleteMay I just say to Heathcliff: IT'S YOUR TURN TO DIE!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't play along did I? I finished that darn thing and posted about it too. I just couldn't take it anymore!
ReplyDeleteI know I am being dramatic because it wasn't all that bad. Not nearly as difficult as the Moby Dick read-along and I did have fun spouting off about it.
I'm happy I read it even though you may not pick up on that when you read my post.
I finished a while ago too, I just couldn't stick to the schedule. It was totally creepy how Heath dug up Cathy's body. That just confirms his madness.
ReplyDeleteYou made it out alive!! Yay!!!!
ReplyDeleteVivienne - You have more will-power than I do!
ReplyDeleteSoftdrink - Yea, I didn't want to spoil anything. Next week's posts should be pretty interesting!
Rhapsodyinbooks - Sure you can... he's been around too long already!!
Ti - No, you were fine. A girl can only take so much of this ;-)
Wnitney - I was totally surprised when he dug up the grave - didn't think even HE would be capable of that!
Staci - Whew... it was close!
Can't wait to hear what you thought of the ending!
ReplyDeleteI like to follow writer’s blogs as I feel I learn from each one. I have a book of Communion devotionals at the printers I authored, although I don’t consider myself an accomplished writer. I am a follower on your blog and invite you to follow mine as well…and please leave a comment when and if you visit.
ReplyDeleteHeathcliff digging up Cathy's grave *shivers*. Ms Bronte must have loved a ripping good ghost story around the fireplace at night to come up with that!
ReplyDeleterhapsodyinbooks made me laugh with her comment but you know...I admit to feeling a wee bit sorry for the guy.
Amy - I'm working on getting that post written :-)
ReplyDeleteCovnitkepr1 - Thanks for visiting. I'll stop by your blog and take a look...
Darlene - sorry for Heathcliff... really? I did at the beginning, but it faded fast ;-)
