The story of Catherine and Heathcliff is the most riveting love story I've ever encountered. I could not tear myself away from it. They are both quite flawed characters, but that's what builds the tension. There are so many moments in which the two just barely miss each other in some way or another. As a reader, this can be very frustrating, and some people may view their feelings of frustration throughout the novel as a weakness in the story. On the contrary, I think this is the strength of the story because it compels us to keep reading. Through our frustration, we are engaged and attached. We don't read it passively or even clouded in the bliss of peaceful reading. It is meant to be a painful, frustrating read because it's painful and frustrating for the characters too. It is, after all, a dark story. Yet even when the odds are stacked against them, there's an undeniable pull you can feel that Catherine and Heathcliff have toward each other. I will resist saying more about their relationship so I don't spoil it for you if you haven't read it.
I especially love the character of Heathcliff. He is so complex, full of moments that make you love him and moments that make you cringe. He does not follow a particular framework of "good" or "evil," for he exhibits features of both almost equally. He often acts out in anger, but there is a genuine, vulnerable sweetness deep in his heart. And only Catherine can tap into that sweet spot. I found myself completely forgiving of him, rooting for him, and hurting with him. Not everyone will feel this way, but I was a sucker for him.
