    She definately created one of the greatest books in the world.
    When I read the book " Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte I found it wonderful.The characters are beautifully described .
    It helps you keep your feet on the ground .
    I love the part said by Catherine : ' My great miseriesin this world have been Heathcliff's miseries , my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished , and he remained , I should still continue to be ; and if all else remained , and he were gone , the universe would seem a stranger .My love for Linton is like the leaves in the woods ; time will change it , as the winter changes the trees . My love for Heathcliff is like the unchanging rocks beneath ; a source of little visible delight , but necessary . Nelly , I am Heathcliff ! He 's always in my mind , not as a pleasure, but as my own being. '
    What feeling do you get from these words?
