In its time, "Wuthering Heights" pushed the envelope in terms of shocking themes. There is a lot of violence, particularly domestic in the book. Something that was not discussed much in 19th century literature. It combined supernatural, particularly vampiric, elements alongside romance and has survived the test of time and remains as striking as it was over a century ago.

"Pride and Prejudice" is considered a classic because of its enduring themes of love, class, and societal expectations, as well as its well-developed characters and engaging storytelling. Additionally, its influential role in shaping the genre of the novel and its continued popularity over time contribute to its status as a classic.

Because it is one of the greatest English novels of the 19th century and possibly all time. It is a love story so immense that it is difficult to comprehend, and Bronte's construction of the text was so controversial, so outside the box for the time, that it was highly misunderstood and is still misunderstood today. It is a complex narrative which involves stories inside stories, and while one might find the characters cruel and problematic, it is ultimately an intelligently constructed novel about a love so deep that it is often dubbed madness, or obsession.
