Katy Reads Wuthering Heights PART 6
This episode covers chapters 21-the end
We’ve reached the end of Wuthering Heights, and surprise: it’s still not a love story. In this final installment, Katy walks through Heathcliff’s deranged coffin plan, cursed cousin romance, and the ghost-fueled finale to argue that Emily Brontë didn’t write an epic romance – she wrote a gothic horror story about generational trauma, revenge, and what happens when you absolutely refuse to go to therapy (before she knew what therapy was)
I really hope y'all enjoyed this series!! Let me know in the comments

If you're looking for a classic short story, try Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper." Feminist and gothic vibes.
Ok I just found an adaptation that takes place in a high school called “Wuthering High”😂 I haven’t watched it, but I think it could make for a great review episode lol Edit: I watched it. And umm…don’t watch it.
Omg 😳 hahah
The only instances of love in this book that I felt were genuine and not super creepy weren’t romantic. Edgar and his daughter Catherine seemed to genuinely love and care for each other. Edgar also did seem to genuinely care about Linton and want to protect him from Heathcliff. Not saying Edgar was without flaws, but he was the best parental figure in the book, though the bar was on the floor😅 Loved listening to you recap the book!
I really loved this series Katy! 3. Nope, don't get love story at all from this book.
The grave scene in Saltburn was improvised 😬
Well shit that's disturbing
If you like mystery or detective I recommend anything by Agatha Christie
A mystery could be fun especially when it comes in installments.
1. I would love a review of Dorian Gray! I think it's fairly short. or Animal Farm. 2. The trailer looks hot AF not gonna lie, I'll be seeing the movie for sure 3. Greatest love story of all time? NAH BRO lol. Story of greatest unhinged obsession, revenge, and generational trauma? YES.
You need to do Anna Karenina!
*googles how long is Anna Karenina by page count* 🥲
