Emily Brontë escreve um amor que está muito distante da ideia romântica tradicional. Heathcliff e Catherine vivem uma relação construída sobre obsessão, orgulho, ressentimento e desejo de posse. Não existem personagens verdadeiramente puros; todos carregam defeitos que os tornam profundamente humanos. A atmosfera gótica transforma a natureza em uma extensão dos sentimentos dos protagonistas. É um romance intenso justamente porque recusa idealizar o amor.

Cumbres Borrascosas no es una historia romántica. Es una historia de venganza, de discriminación y de cómo un grupo de personas poco confiables, pésimas y totalmente incapaces de asumir la responsabilidad de sus actos.​Admiré profundamente la pluma de la autora. Llegué a odiar a Heathcliff hasta un punto imperdonable, y tampoco podía creer el nivel de autoengaño de Cathy ni su eterno papel de víctima.​En fin, amé que toda esta tragedia la conozcamos simplemente porque Nelly le dio por ponerse a chismear con un visitante.

I only finished because I was told the last half was better than the first.  Terrible, hateful,  awful characters, all of them.
