Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights has been a topic of conversation since it was announced. The Saltburn writer and director adapted the Emily Brontë novel with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi playing her Catherine and Heathcliff.
Many fans of the novel have pointed out that Brontë did not write Heathcliff as a white man. Fans also commented on the costuming we’ve seen from filming. And while their criticisms are valid, there is one thing that has me wondering what Fenell is actually bringing to fans. Because while it is “Wuthering Heights,” I don’t think she’s just giving us an adaptation of the Brontë novel.
