Emily Brontë’s only novel and a gothic classic—a gripping story of obsession, revenge, and tragedy—now the feature film “Wuthering Heights” from Emerald Fennell, which captures the spirit of this epic love story and stars Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff.
Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrenders to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past.
Timeless. Beautifully Written.
"Gothic, vile, and all around deeply rooted in an obsessive love that either resonates with the reader, or doesn’t. By resonating, I mean connecting to the story and its characters. It’s beautifully written and there is a great deal of reading in-between the lines for the subtle messages. Back in the 18th century deliberately writing explicit scenes about intimacy, or adultery was absolutely frowned upon. Emily Brontë was able to relay this without a single crude passage, or distasteful phrase. 10/10 read."
