[WH] - Why I hate this book.

"'These things happened last winter, sir,' said Mrs. Dean; 'hardly more than a year ago,'" (pg 221).

There are a ton of reasons why I hate this novel, but they all revolve around Wuthering Heights major theme of doubling.

• The story is frame story in which Lockwood tells the story about how Nelly told him a story in which she took a very minor role.  I think the purpose was to make the events seem more realistic, but frankly, I think it just made the flashbacks more confusing as a time line is almost impossible to form.  The above quote took me forever to figure out the logistics of whether she was talking in the present or the past.
• I really want to write a story about the protagonist, but unfortunately there appear to be two (if that is even legal).  Cathy drives most of the plot at the Grange, but Heathcliff drives all of the plot at the Heights.
• Heathcliff obviously seems to be the protagonist, but he is also an antagonist to Cathy at the same time.  At the same time though, it could also be said that Nelly is just as large an antagonist for not letting her love Linton fully.
• Why would Catherine ever have a baby girl named Cathy?  At least name it Kathy or Quatheryryne or something so I have some way of denoting a difference between the two.  I guess this just shows the similarities between the two halves of the plot.
• Unless I missed something, Catherine Earnshaw married to become Catherine Linton where as Catherine Linton is engaged to become Catherine Earnshaw.  Did I mention the similarities between Catherine and Catherine?
• Whose idea was it to name her characters Hindley, Heathcliff and Hareton?  Emily Bronte really seemed to be struggling when she was naming her characters for this book.
