I've never read Wuthering heights, because from what I've heard of the plot, it's heavy with violence. What are some reasons the novel has been included in the so-called western literary lexicon? Are those compelling reasons for it to remain a novel of significance today? What led your choice to see and review the movie? What were thematic elements from the novel that you expected to see in the movie, but were missing?
Hello, I am the writer. I think It has held up today so strongly because it is still somewhat relatable. Loss of family, love, grief, revenge, betrayal, status differences, racism, and much more are still things people go through today and can find in the classic novels and gain solace in the fact that “hey I’m not the first one to feel this way” or “I get this” or maybe even “maybe I wasn’t as dramatic as I thought I was being” if you’re me and if I’m being honest I watched the film as a favor because I was going to write about the novel and read it. As many films today, I think they focused on aesthetic more than plot and story and came up short with what Brontë was actually trying to say about society proving what she was trying to say that society can’t face its hardships and mistakes but can only gloss over it but this is only my opinion
