  • Wuthering Heights
    Silly Little Thoughts

    Just posting on here to tell everyone that I adore this novel and I’m so sad to see what they’re doing with it in the new film adaptation. Yes, there is a “love story”, but I don’t believe that it should be the focus. This book explores themes of racism, classism, prejudice, trauma, cycles of abuse, etc. 1. Casting a white man as Heathcliff (in 2025!!!!!!!!!) is insane and 2. calling it the greatest love story ever told and putting quotation marks around the title to make your adaptation seem less crappy is heinous imo. It’s frustrating to see people defend this and say “well since it’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ it doesn’t have to be so close to the book and Emerald Fennell can do whatever she wants!!!!” 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Anyway, comment if you agree, or if you don’t! I’m just sad that it’s getting all this recognition and it’s just not being done right 🥲

    More like a 3.25 ⭐️ Not as good as the first two books but still really enjoyed it, especially the last three chapters!
