'Someone put on ‘Wuthering Heights’ and we all stopped'

According to Book Riot these characters from classic novels are 'the absolute worst'.

Of course, we realize that there have to be loathsome characters. Otherwise, stories would be without conflict and consequences and would be dull and unrealistic. However, there is something particularly irritating about an unlikable main character. If we’re supposed to root for them or experience the story from their perspective, it can be especially frustrating. [...]

Thus, here are some classic characters who are the absolute worst:

The main characters in Wuthering Heights

Literally everyone in The Great Gatsby

Most of the characters in Mansfield Park

All the men, especially “nice guy” Laurie in Little Women

Rochester from Jane Eyre (Mikkaka Overstreet)

On God is in the TV, singer Sarah Jane Morris recalls the first time she came across Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights:

There are links up to the present day with Sarah Jane Morris, and she says that in her head Kate Bush passes the torch to her – Kate Bush is one year older. ‘I was in sixth form college, someone put on ‘Wuthering Heights’ and we all stopped.’ Here was a woman only a or so older, looking completely different from the landscape at the time ‘wearing leotards!‘ (Ed Jupp)

A bit of a blunder in Options:

I was a student of English Literature at the University of Delhi’s Lady Shri Ram College at that time, but despite this hallowed institution being a bastion of feminism and political advocacy (Aung San Suu Kyi is an alumnus), the texts we read in class were mostly by dead, white, British men: Wordsworth, Dickens and Chaucer, with a sprinkling of female voices like Brontë and Eyre.(Dipika Mukherjee)
