And that's why when you read Wuthering Heights, when you read Frankenstein, when you read Dracula, the language is often beautiful, intense, melodramatic, poetic, and so on.
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde SUCKS
I love this book. I love it so dearly. It is my favorite thing in the entire world, and I ended up reading two paragraphs because I couldn't help myself.
Jane Eyre's language is sophisticated.
I am thoroughly enjoying this book, but only a few pages in, I realized it had some vital connection to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
All of these books are written with a language that is both sophisticated and beautiful. There is a slight Gothic melodrama to the language because it's Victorian, but it's also refined and precise because it's science fiction, and his books have very intense political and moral themes that are being explored.
Every sentence, every paragraph in that book is a quotable piece of poetry. It is one of the most beautifully written, perhaps the most beautifully written book in the history of literature, at least within the English language.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is rubbish. It's got great themes, and it's had an incalculably large impact on so much of our modern society, but the way that it's written is so void of joy and fun and poetry, and it feels like a scientific paper for no good reason.
The language of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is intense.

When I first read this book only about a year ago, I was so enticed by the way that the people of this town were immediately being described and sort of separated into personality types. It was so alluring and exciting and I loved the rhythm and the pace and the tone of it.
And I read it when I was a child, and I really enjoyed it. Now that I've reread Jekyll and Hyde, I'd be very curious to go back to Treasure Island and see if it holds up.
