Wuthering Heights can only be known by reading the original. No adaptation does it justice. This isn't a romance. It is so, so much more.
About this Event

It’s labelled as romance. Compared to Jane Austen. This is not Pride and Prejudice. Emily Bronte wasn’t a fan of the happy ending romantic tale. For her (and her sisters) a great story dug deep into the human psyche. It is this that makes Wuthering Heights a difficult book to nail down and intentionally so. Take Heathcliff. Often seen as the romantic or Byronic hero of the tale, but this doesn’t fit so easily. The racially ambiguous character plays many roles in the story from lovelorn to vengeful.
