Read Wuthering Heights for school and though it was insufferable, a tedious book about awful people. Read it again much later and they’re still awful people. But the book also has so much to say about generational trauma and the way that people are haunted by mistakes, yet seemingly unable to free themselves from the same cycles of abuse that perpetuate their pain. Really came to love all the Brontë works, honestly.
