“Good literature substitutes for experience which we have not ourselves lived through.” – Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Alexander Solzhenitsyn means that when we read good literature we can know what its like to have an experience that we haven't actually had. There are many experiences that you can only have when you read books because it's impossible to have them in real life. You can imagine having the adventures and the experiences that happen in the book.
This quote relates to the book Wuthering Heights because I have never experienced anything like what happens in Wuthering Heights and I probably never will. I have never met anyone at all like Heathcliff but I can imagine what it is like to know someone like him through reading the book.
