Emphasizing the Digital - A bit of me on Bronte

Her: i get involved in things and stay up later sometimes

Me: The same for me, except it happens all the time.

Me: "My past haunts me, if I do not distract myself until the very moment I slip into unconsciousness it will consume me, of this I have no doubt and have experienced many a time." ~ This is how I talk to my sister and other people I favor. hahahaha

Her: you wax poetic

Me: indeed m'lady

Me: although, the BritLit course I'm currently reading for may have something to do with my diction as of late.

Me: bloody Wuthering Heights

Her: hahaha

Me: have you read it?

Me: or perhaps seen the film?

Her: i've read it, haven't seen the movie

Me: Please, bestow upon me your thoughts of it.

Her: it was interesting

Her): not my favorite, but pretty good

Her: heathcliff was a pretty sweet character too

Me: hmmm

Me: I am, perhaps, halfway through the novel

Me: I found the beginning rather entertaining, taking delight in the misanthropy and general peevishness of many a character

Me: soon their actions grew weary though

Me: each of them irredeemable

Me: Catherine's death and Heathcliff's admissions of emotion have kept me turning the pages but I recognize my sympathy has been manipulated and that actual actions of Heathcliff are not to be accepted

Me: still, pages to go

Her: oh there are good times to be had

Her: actually i don't remember, it has been a long time

Me: well know that to my fresh eyes Heathcliff, who I so wanted to like, what with devilish nature, has done little to appear worthy of the words printed for him.

Her: he's flawed

Me: the only quality I've left to likr him for is his love for Catherine which he mars via deplorable action. The depiction suggests that even for his time period his choices are unacceptable. I've no clue what greater message Bronte wishes to impart nor the motivation to seek it. She has failed this reader.

Her: :(

Me: Well am I to do? Blame Catherine? Oh yes, blame the woman, that's all fine and dandy but even he sees his terrible fault. I don't want him to be some shining saint but to treat the various others around him as he does rather than brood alone...he is not pure in anything nor does he try to be! There's no honor in a thing he does yet!

Her: i like him because he's kind of an asshole

Her: good characters are boring

Me: he doesn't have to be "good"

Me: I love the "bad" characters

Me: but he is, so far, a villian without merit at all!

Me: and yet can't embrace that either

Me: he tries to come off as a gentleman in some ways still!

Me: bah

Her: yeah he's a pretty ambiguous character
Me: in class I will complain of Bronte's writing
Me: the various deliveries of the story are stressing

Her: haha

Me: I can not believe that such a thing would be delivered naturally as so it is printed. Not when it begins as tale from Lockwood's perspective than to a book of Catherine's and then to Nelly retelling what she was told from Heathcliff and then from there others telling Nelly telling it to Heathcliff and then from Heathcliff telling us from Nelly telling him from others BUT ALL IN RIDICULOUS PROSE

Me: that is NOT how stories are relayed

Me): stories are made of significant detail and in such a transference these various bits would not survive!

Me: ARGH

Her: i can see that you are very passionate about this

Me: it merely bothers me and as it is an assignment I can't walk away which leads to frustration
