^Speaking of characters I'd like to slap, I nominate Kathy and Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights. What a bunch of idiots!
Ditto! That book really put a damper on my spirits. I've heard that Crime and Punishment can do that you as well, although I never got around to read it.
Yes, Heathcliff and Kathy should both be slapped. Perhaps Kathy more so than Cliff. If she had only decided differently, he wouldn't have become this morbid creature in the end. Let's not forget Kathy's brother. He can use a few chamaats as well.
