When I'm in a different country I like to get a copy of Wuthering Heights in that language. Right now I'm in Italy 😍

Every few years they come out with a new Wuthering Heights adaptation and every single time they manage to make it suck. Can we just get 1 (one) film director who is actually passionate about the book and doesn’t make the worst decisions please?
Why cast Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, a character who is heavily implied to be Romani or dark skinned at the absolute least? It’s literally an entire facet of his character and why people have treated him a certain way his entire life. I think Jacob Elordi did wonderful in Pricilla and could act the hell out of this role but this change takes away so much context from the narrative.
Unless they are going to change a ton of things in the plot and make it more so “inspired by” Wuthering Heights, I don’t see this honoring the novel at all and I probably won’t bother watching it.

The racism Heathcliff experiences and the way it alienates him is so key to his character and is part of the reason Cathy feels like she can’t be with him.
And a faithful adaptation needs to be able to explore that.
Ughh such a poor casting choice.

the one (and only) good thing to come out of those atrocious wuthering heights casting announcements was seeing how many people genuinely care for the novel and are rightfully outraged at hollywood whitewashing heathcliff once more. this story deserves to be told correctly!! emily brontë crafted such a rich, complex narrative with wonderful characters and if we take out the racial aspects we're left with a huge gap in the story, which is a massive disservice to emily brontë.
so, as mad as i am, i do love seeing posts calling out fennell on her carelessness get over 50k likes on twitter. just shows that people care

Margot Robbie is set to play Cathy in a new adaptation of Withering Heights which will start filming next year. Jacob Elordi will be Heathcliff and Saltburn's Emerald Fennell will be directing

Of course Catherine Earnshaw is going to win and it is well-deserved but I still am making this poll for the sake of conversation.

good evening everybody i have a question for you:
IMPORTANT NOTE: i do not give a shit about the morality of any of these men. ‘oh rochester locked his wife in the attic’ yeah sure but does he eat pussy. ‘m. paul is a misanthropic misogynist’ cool whatever are we re-enacting fleabag s2 or what. ‘heathcliff and cathy were in a toxic relationship’ i do not caaaaaaaare this post is about which of these men you find the most fuckable, not which of them you’d actually want to put up with for longer than one night. now go fucking wild idc

I don't think Mr locked his wife in the attic and tried to marry someone else is the best choice to these lessons
The real question about the book you're reading right now is whether Heathcliff and Rochester ever have a Byronic Hero Duel
It's more that Rochester is teaching Heathcliff how to exist in this world ahaha
