"I want to crawl to her feet, whimper to be forgiven... for loving me. For needing her more than my own life... for belonging to her more than my own soul."

I've now seen Laurence Olivier in three literary adaptations from 1939-1940 and the way he's just consistently out-acted by his female co-stars is so funny to me

What is your favorite Wuthering Heights adaptation?

I've only seen 1939 and another mysterious TV adaptation I watched as a child. I know all too well that no adaptation is going to do it real justice, so with this and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall I've thus far refused to watch adaptations (except where they're old enough that I am willing to be forgiving).

It seems tragic to call the 1939 my favourite, but I did find it more watchable than whatever other version I've seen. I wish I could be more positive. Maybe I ought subject myself to more adaptations.

Judith Pascoe, the author of On the Bullet Train with Emily Brontë (which is a book I like) praises the 1939 adaptation for “doing away with the mushy second generation story”.

What mush? I can definitely understand liking the second half less, but the mushy accusation kind of baffles me. Outside of a couple of sweet scenes between Hareton and Cathy towards the very end, the second half is a nightmare! Most of it is a psychologically tortured and haunted Heathcliff at his worst manipulating two childish teenagers - one of them being his own son who is a grotesque caricature of a dying teenager that he does not care for - with his schemes culminating in him kidnapping a seventeen years old naive girl and beating her bloody. I don’t see the mush here, I would go as far as saying that it is much more grim than the first half which is, for all of its extra nature, a love story at the end of the day.

I am of two minds about Tasha Suri’s upcoming Wuthering Heights retelling making Cathy into a white-passing Indian biracial woman.

On the one hand, I prefer Heathcliff to be the only person of color in the story and I don’t really think that it fits in with the context or Mr. Earnshaw’s character for him to have had a child with an Indian woman (unlike in Windward Heights where it makes total sense in context for Cathy to be a white-passing biracial woman - and I still have to read Windward Heights). On the other hand, it was in a way long-time coming considering that Cathy in the most iconic Wuthering Heights adaptation was played by a white-passing biracial Indian woman.

At the end of the day, it is Tasha Suri’s own retelling, it is YA, and representation matters, this is just my view on it. I do look forward to reading it.
