Yeah, I like the characters they inspired, but not the characters themselves. Lovelace is potrayed as 100% evil and someone the heroine should be saved from, so I have no problems with that narrative. It's been so long since I read Wuthering Heights that I can't recall exactly how Heathcliff was portrayed, but I remember thinking that it seemed I was meant to somewhat side with him(though, oddly, I have no problems at all with Edmund Dantes...but then, he has much, much more done to him.) Rochester, though, we're meant to like, and to want Jane to be with him. I just can't do that.
