I think Cathy in Wuthering Heights had BPD.

I mean the first Catherine, the one who said, "I AM Heathcliff!"

She was a real drama queen. She was fine as long as everything went her way; when it didn't, she slapped other people around (Nellie, Hareton, Edgar), pitched fits, etc.

I used to like that book, but now it's hard for me to see why. :shrug:

1. well i don't doubt it for a minute

she could be borderline, she could be bipolar, obviously she has severe mental health issues

i don't have to identify w. this person (i never did) to enjoy the story, i know there are people who actually think like this and it gives me a look at their world w.out having to deal w. all the crap and drama of getting involved with them in real life

i still like this v. atmospheric book even tho i am first to admit that the characters themselves are not v. pleasant or attractive, i guess i have a liking tho for characters who are kinda difficult

better to meet them in fiction than in real life! :-)

2. I was thinking borderline, but she could've been bipolar.

"better to meet them in fiction than in real life!"

That's a big 10-4.
