That comparison between the structure of the novel and its content, its spirit and subject matter, is really very interesting. I never thought about that, thank you
Emily was by far the most intelligent of all the Brontës. She would never have destroyed/ sanitised, even changed any of her sisters work like Charlotte did. I'm no fan of Charlotte
@@karlaazcona8728 Charlotte was responsible for essentially censoring and also publicly demeaning the work of her other sister, Anne (who wrote Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall). She could to some extent also be held accountable for preventing Anne Bronte's popularity - which she, unlike Charlotte & Emily, never really achieved to this day. :)
I agree that Emily was the most intelligent and talented... But I don't think Anne was terribly far behind her. I feel the same about Charlotte. I'm sure she loved her sisters immensely but the way she treated her sisters' works when they died was terrible.
I agree that Charlotte was wrong to have persecuted and censored Anne Bronte’s book too. I was curious about it and was not surprised to find out that it was a personal battle because it reflected her rejection of her brother, Branwell, who was addicted to opium and gambling. Anne was always compassionate and forgiving to her brother because she believed deeply in redemption. As a result, Anne wrote a beautiful story that incorporated these themes which offended Charlotte who must have been ashamed deep down. Thus, Charlotte was personally embarrassed at the thought of the book being published thinking that it was an attack on her mistreatment of Branwell and this intelligence would reach the readers and they would judge. This was a completely immature action of hers and I hope she regreted it later. As for Wuthering Heights, Charlotte was asked by her editor to touch up her both her sisters’ works and Charlotte was happy to edit Emily’s novel. Emily Bronte never intended for her book to be published so it was necessary for it to be touched up and edited for it to be published eventually. It needed to have some editing to make it readable for an audience that wasn't familiar with the moorish culture and dialect and of course to improve the flow without harming the valuable storyline, symbols, etc. that Emily intended. What Charlotte changed was only to clarify the script and if Emily were to have lived longer, she might have edited her book herself. Charlotte was the best option for editor since she knew her sister, was familiar with the moorish culure that is deeply embedded in the book, and would more likely have done it justice the way Emily would have wanted it to be. Anyone else would have either changed it more or the book would not have been published at all. I just wanted to clarify what was going on between Charolette and her sisters’ books because I was confused and interested myself and I hope this comment helps. However, I see all your points and I'm so grateful for them so that I can research and find out something more about the Brontes.
I agree. But I can say one thing. IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL MAYBE TRUTHFUL LOVE THAT EVER EXISTED IN CLASSIC LITERATURE. Heathcliff and Catherine are like the same soul in two bodies. One cannot live without the other.
The love story is self absorbed and destructive beyond measure. Heathcliff's love for revenge outweighs his love for Catherine who he couldn't forgive for getting married to another man and she was selfish and manipulative, vying for the attention of both Edgar and Heathcliff but also choosing social status over her childhood sweetheart. It's so much more than just a typical love story.
Wuthering Heights is the perfect example of PASSION. But if I was the author myself, I would definetly NOT make Heathcliff soooo cruel. That's the only thing that I hate about the book. And yet Heathcliff is not evil by nature and I know that in the end he hated himself and even said to young Catherine that he was worse than the devil. That, I think is clear evidence as to Heathcliff's regret of being evil maybe with the people that didn't had anything to do with his suffering. Although I admit that he didn't regret his cruelty towards Isabella. I thank everyone for all the likes.
It seems so many of you scholars miss it. I asked times before who Emily Brote's character was in her book. Most people get it wrong because Heathcliff and her were the same person. He never received the love in his life, and she was an invalid who never knew love. Heathcliff is the hero, and yet so few people see it that way. Study Emily Bronte, and the story comes together.
Where did Heathcliffe get the money from to buy Wuthering Heights? I've never read the book, just watch the film with Lawerance Olivier and Merl Oberon

Wuthering Heights is NOT a romance novel. The prose is exquisite.
I don’t know why I love this book so much

Her sisters changed Emily’s work?

Wuthering Heights, the most beautiful and tragic love story
Absolutely
their love is so destructive that it ruined their own lives and everyone around them's. tragic as it is, i probably wouldn't call it beautiful. lmao.
I agree. But I can say one thing. IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL MAYBE TRUTHFUL LOVE THAT EVER EXISTED IN CLASSIC LITERATURE. Heathcliff and Catherine are like the same soul in two bodies. One cannot live without the other.
True
The love story is self absorbed and destructive beyond measure. Heathcliff's love for revenge outweighs his love for Catherine who he couldn't forgive for getting married to another man and she was selfish and manipulative, vying for the attention of both Edgar and Heathcliff but also choosing social status over her childhood sweetheart. It's so much more than just a typical love story.
I absolutely loved this book.
Great speech ...like it
Beautiful voice

Cousin Ant I agree. Heathcliff's disturbing emotional complexities are only what made his character even more intriguing.
Do we know Nelly was telling the truth.
LIGHTPHOENIX2782 when I got the news that he died I literally put my arms up celebrating 😂 at the same time he makes the story.
Well it was a blessing you weren't the author then.
@@meow-ui5io i don't understand the comment. Why a blessing?
Why the background tinkley noise?
What music being played at the start?
Ron Artest - gloryboy1108
I would like to know the name of the music of this film.
i guess it is Steve Reich. Next saturday I should release my orchestral prelude on Wuthering heights
@@emanuel_soundtrack any idea name of song though?

can you explain your point of view? I don‘t understand why you think heathcliff could be the hero
@@minacayy “Yes: I remember her hero had run off, and never been heard of for three years; and the heroine was married.” (Brontë 123)
He so looks like Le Clezio
I think the same... 😅
Where did Heathcliffe get the money from to buy Wuthering Heights? I've never read the book, just watch the film with Lawerance Olivier and Merl Oberon
He went to America and made a fortune, but it's not explained how. Try one of the more recent versions, which are more faithful to the book.
