Wuthering HeightsiNews features writer Milly Johnson.
Emily Brontë
When I studied this at school, I decided to be a writer. The rugged, windswept landscape and the great house, all neglected and shadowy, are the epitome of Gothic. I think I tried to be Cathy for a while, but no moody man could live up to the real Heathcliff. I just love the way she tangles Heathcliff and Cathy up with the atmosphere of the place: they are in the rock and the twisted trees, their voices are in the wind.
“My hero and heroine do have to have good values,” she continued. “Can readers put themselves into the position of my characters?

Y, probablemente, los ha leído, pero también, probablemente, sólo haya visto las películas, por cierto, en-can-ta-do-ras. (Juan Domingo Argüelles) (Translation)
