    CostasNarrativeXP ft "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë Ch 1-3 讀你聽2.2 咆哮山莊
    Feb 18 2026
    CostasNarrativeXP 2026 February feature "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë Published in November, 1847 Project Gutenberg Ebook edition A wronged outsider, Heathcliff, dedicates his life to avenging a childhood humiliation and lost love, only to see his obsessive cruelty poison two generations before it finally burns itself out. Chapter 1-3 00:30 1 In 1801, Lockwood visits Wuthering Heights, meets the aloof Heathcliff, is attacked by dogs, scolded instead of pitied, and despite the hostility, decides to return the next day. 13:04 2 Lockwood returns through a snowstorm, is treated with hostility by the household, attacked again by dogs when trying to leave, and is ultimately forced to stay the night at Wuthering Heights. 33:11 3 Lockwood sleeps in a forbidden room, dreams of Catherine’s ghost, sees Heathcliff’s desperate grief for her, and struggles back through the snow to Thrushcross Grange. Characters Heathcliff - A mistreated orphan rises from humiliation to power, driven by an all-consuming attachment that shapes his life and disrupts two families across generations on the isolated Yorkshire moors. Catherine Linton - spirited and strong-willed, is the daughter of Catherine and Edgar Linton, curious about the world beyond Thrushcross Grange, and forms complex relationships with her cousins and household. Hareton Earnshaw - son of Hindley, grows up at Wuthering Heights with limited education, influenced by both Nelly and Heathcliff, and develops a complex connection with his cousin Cathy. Catherine Earnshaw - wild and passionate from childhood, shapes the lives of those around her, her personality and choices driving much of the novel’s first-generation story.

    CostasNarrativeXP 2026 Valentine's feature
    "Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy Maud Montgomery
    Published in June, 1908
    Project Gutenberg Ebook edition

    An imaginative orphan is unexpectedly adopted into a quiet rural community, where her vivid inner life and stubborn spirit gradually transform the people around her.

    Chapter 30-32
    00:30 30 Miss Stacy selects Anne to prepare for Queen’s Academy. Marilla supports her ambitions. Anne studies hard, rivals Gilbert, misses Diana, and the winter passes into a welcome summer break.
    24:17 31 Anne rests outdoors all summer, returns to school energized, matures quietly, story club fades, enjoys outings, and focuses entirely on studying for Queen’s Academy entrance exams.
    37:16 32 Anne fears Queen’s exams, stays with Aunt Josephine, takes tests in Charlottetown, returns home anxious, and finally triumphs, tying with Gilbert but officially placed first among 200 students.

    Characters
    Anne Shirley - A thin, red-haired orphan with an incredibly vivid imagination and a "tongue fastened at one end." Overjoyed to finally have a home
    Matthew Cuthbert - A shy, awkward sixty-year-old bachelor who lives at Green Gables. Though he is terrified of women and girls, he finds himself strangely charmed by Anne
    Marilla Cuthbert - Matthew’s sister. She is tall, thin, with a strict sense of duty. While Matthew is the heart of the duo, Marilla is the logic. She is the one who ultimately has to decide what to do about adopting Anne by mistake
    Rachel Lynde - The town gossip and "notable" busybody, she represents the judgmental social standards of Avonlea
    Alexander Spencer - She is the "middleman" whose misunderstanding of the Cuthberts' request led to Anne being brought to Prince Edward Island instead of a boy
    Diana Barry - Anne’s kind, pretty, and conventional neighbour who becomes her first and dearest “bosom friend"
    Gilbert Blythe - Handsome, confident, teasing, his thoughtless joke sparks Anne’s lifelong grudge and rivalry
    Josephine Barry - Wealthy, sharp-tongued city-dweller, evolves to become Anne’s most generous and sophisticated "kindred spirit" benefactors
    Mrs. Allan - Young, stylish, and deeply empathetic, a minister’s wife who becomes the ultimate role model and a nurturing mentor for Anne's emotions
