I don't know why this is considered a classic. It wasn't well written and was often implausible. For example, why did all these people stick around and let Heathcliff destroy them? Why didn't Heathcliff get in trouble for beating and imprisoning people? Why do we want to know about any of this? Most of the characters were unlikeable, either evil jerks or whining victims. The only exceptions were Cathy and Nelly, and they were incredibly stupid at times. It's obvious that Emily Bronte spent most of her life away from society and was seriously disturbed.
