Lets see...

From Wikipedia, on Catherine: The love between Catherine and Heathcliff forms the basis of Wuthering Heights' plot. She struggles to find her identity in the novel, as shown by the names she repeats 'Catherine Earnshaw, Catherine Linton, Catherine Heathcliff'

A flightly, free-spirited and somewhat spoiled young woman, Catherine returns Heathcliff's passionate love but does not consider herself able to marry him, instead choosing another childhood friend, the wealthy Edgar Linton of Thrushcross Grange. Upon Heathcliff's return, following a prolonged absence after the pairs' marriage, her physical and mental health is destroyed by the feud between Heathcliff and Edgar, and she dies in childbirth. She does, however, continue to haunt Wuthering Heights after her death.

Like Catherine, Bella is also trying to understand herself and understand her heart, which is something she works quite a lot on in Eclipse. Like Catherine, Bella has a few identity problems. (Re: Jacob's Bella & Edward's Bella.)

Bella is like Catherine in so many ways because like Catherine, Bella had to choose between two... well, I was going to say good things, but Heathcliff is rather evil so I'll say people instead.

A difference, through, between Catherine and Bella is that Catherine chose her childhood friend while Bella has chosen Edward.
Although I do believe that Catherine loved Edgar, he wasn't her true love quite like Heathcliff was, like Edward is Bella's.

Bella chose true love, while Catherine chose love. So although the story is the same in many ways, because of that fact it is also very different.

It is kinda, and questions like this have been asked before so....

I need to read it. Its on my list of 'BOOKS TO READ' Lmao. I just have to read like twenty million other books before I get to Wuthering Heights. ;P

Wuthering Heights is a sad twisted story! Wuthering Heights, Catherine and Heathcliff, Twilight, Bella and Edward, totally different stories! I've read both so I know. Catherine chooses the WRONG person, she chooses Edgar. Because of that Heathcliff decides to make everyone around him miserable, just like him. And he succeds. He distorys Catherine and Edgards daughters life. Jacob would never do that to Bella, because he's not evil like Heathcliff. Wuthering Heights is more like what people do when they loose the person for them. Twilight is about what you do when you've found the person for you, and have to risk everything to keep them.

i want to read it though,i'm getting REALLY close to buying the damn thing so that i understand what they're talking about when they talk about the book.

i rented it but i don't know somebody tell me its so good once you really start to read it because i so want it to :)

In some small ways

I can see some comparable bit, but that's all they are - BITS. If you take the whole story of Catherine and Heathcliffe, then it's a totally different love story with an annoying and twisted ending. I hope Bella and Edward don't end up like them!

I want to read it though!!=)

No. Just no. Cathy has a wonderful, *developed* relationship. Bella (with Edward) does not.

i think saying it is "similar to the love story of Bella and Edward" is a strange assesment. It is somewhat like the love triangle of Bella-Jacob-Edward (i.e. She loves them both but clearly Edward more.) But as Edward says, Wuthering Heights isn't a love story, it's a hate story, and Twilight is NOT a hate story.

i agree with shortynme and emma-jeff

shortynme - In what sad, twisted universe is Edward the "right choice"? He's completely abusive! I think it's extremely idiotic of Smeyer to name-drop classic romance novels, just so her books seem better. They're still crap Stephenie, get over it.

Never read it but no ones love can be the same as Edward and bella
