I actually UNDERSTOOD The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens.

So yea, I could read the book, but what good would that do me? I do not think the the goal of humanity in trying to convey an idea is always to throw the other into the deep end.
I am not asking about Wuthering Heights ot of stupidity or fear, but clarification.
I am no fan of mystery. If you want me to appreciate your story, be blunt about it and let me decide if it is complex enough and worthy enough to put up there.
But if you cant explain your plot, even if obvious to you, I am under no obligation to buy your product.
I ask about Wuthering Heights in the same way I asked about the plot of Oedipus Rex. I simply wanted to understand the plot.
And the best way to understand the plot is to read the book. It's a pretty straightforward read. After you read it, come back and tell us what you think it's about, and I'll be happy to correct you, just like I did with 'Macbeth'.

You sound like my mother when she said "look the word up in the dictionary". THAT IS FUCKING BULLSHIT.
Just like a magician, "If you don't know, you are a moron for asking"
I fucking hate that bullshit.
It takes NOTHING away from knowing, or appreciation of what someone has to convey, for them to tell you without making you chase it.
I have never fucking liked assholes who pull that shit with me. Tell me what you mean first, don't fucking make me guess. I can still appreciate what you are trying to convey if you tell me up front. It is the same thing to me in any type of education. I am not a lab rat on a wheel out to chase cheese for the amusement of ringmaster.
It isn't that what you might have is not valuable, but in that you don't need to shroud your point like it is a Rubix Cube to stroke your own ego.
The best teachers don't throw people in the deep end, but as teachers learn to relate what they know to others. THAT is why I am asking about the plot of Wuthering Heights. Not because I can't read but I want to know what I am getting into, just like an airline mechanic doesn't know every plane engine, but if to work on one, has to have training BEFORE. It DOES NOT destroy the mystery for me, for others to explain the plot before I read something. It actually HELPS ME appreciate it more.
