"Yes, Emily is popular, especially for your generation. But with Emily I get all sorts of wonderful associations: poet Emily Dickinson, Victorian beauty Lillie Langtry (nee Emilie Charlotte), suffragette Emily Davison, novelist Emily Bronte (Heathcliff! I can save you! Love me, not that stupid Cathy!)"
I thought this very thing myself! So many lovely namesakes.. and also, Cathy was a twit! A certified twit, lol! :-)

Cathy was a twit, but Heathcliff was cruel and vengeful, so I'm not sure I'd want to be loved by him either, haha. ;)
Yeah, Heathcliff turned out to be a pretty hot mess in the end didn't he?
I know!
When I was in second grade I saw the old Hollywood version of "Wuthering Heights" as a re-run. I couldn't understand what Laurence Olivier saw in Merle Oberon (obvious beauty aside). She was awful. And it doesn't matter that he turned out to be so awful in the second half of the book to the next generation. She started it! :-P

LOL, I so agree!! Somehow the story depicts the shadow of his madness as reflecting the depth of love he had for Cathy and that's pretty deep love!! If she had just pulled up her bootstraps and stop being such a shallow ninny, none of that would have ever happened! hahaha!!
