I dont know, but I can tell you the book I most regretted reading - Wuthering Heights.
I saw Heatcliff as petulant, self destructive, bullying, sexually degenerate, overgrown adolescent who was obsessed with a girl who was most likely his illigitmate half sister... who was a spiritless, pompous, crybaby who preferred to torment herself and imagine she was a martyr than simply walk out of her unhappy marriage.
I read it at age 17 and our literature teacher was prolly approx 24, and I think had some sort of crush on Heathcliff. When I stated in class that headbutting a tree was a moronic way to react to loss she actually said in front of the whole class "I dont care what you say about me but I wont have you talked about Heathcliff in that way"

She also was pissed off that I thought Hamlet was at very least a latent homosexual, and in love with Horatio.
