Books like Charlotte and Emily Brontë: The Complete Novels

I stuck to Wuthering Heights this time. I was due for a re-read of it, and I recalled absolutely loving it as a teen, reading it over and over. Such deep tragedy - and perhaps now that I've experienced so much of my own at this point, I found that it was more disturbing this time around than romantic, more sad than melancholy, more tragic than anything else. I think when I was younger, death was more of a concept than a reality, so the idea of the eternal after-death love of Catherine and Heathcliff was satisfactory, when now, after experiencing so much of my own personal loss, all that's left is the folly of losing all of that living time they could have been together over pride and jealousy and the expecataions of others. It wouldn't be the same story any other way, but this time it left me just feeling hopeless. Also, for some reason I did feel it was as skillfully written as I used to believe this time around. I used to be enraptured by the story within a story idea. Perhaps I've become used to that method of narative after so many David Lynch movies that it's no longer novel at all. Basically - it was best the first time and should be read as a teen, but I'll probably never read it again.
