Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë was apparently the first ever Gothic novel. It’s a romance between Heathcliff, an abandoned child that was picked up from a street in Liverpool, and Kathy, the daughter of the master of Wuthering Heights (who picked up Heathcliff).
The master is a very kind person and told his two children (Kathy and another boy) to be kind to Heathcliff and share with him. Although Kathy grew to fall in love with him, the master’s son was always hated Heathcliff, who he saw as a “gypsy begger”. When his father died, the master’s son had Heathcliff be the stable boy.
Due to their class difference, a romance between Kathy and Heathcliff could never be — which eventually leads to their bittersweet end. It’s really a very beautiful movie. One of the best parts of it is the beautiful and poetic language they use.
“No, not dead, Dr. Kenneth. Not alone. He’s with her. They’ve only just begun to live. Goodbye, Heathcliff. Goodbye, my wild sweet Kathy.” — The Maid Servant / Wuthering Heights (1939)
Rating (Out of Five): 5
