Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi & Alison Oliver: Wuthering Heights

When I asked Inklings members what book we should read for
February, you guys voted overwhelmingly for Wuthering Heights,
Emily Brontè’s gothic masterpiece. Set amongst the backdrop of the
sprawling Yorkshire Moors, in the first part of the novel Bronte
details the all consuming, toxic, passionate, obsessive, and
destructive relationship between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff.
Heathcliff is a real enigma and a social outcast – he is adopted
from Liverpool and brought up alongside Cathy. But, when Catherine
chooses a wealthier man to marry – Edgar Linton – Heathcliff
embarks on a bitter quest for vengeance. The second part of the
novel details the way he inflicts pain and suffering on the next
generation too. The novel explores this magnetism between Cathy and
Heathcliff, two people who just cannot resist each other’s pull.
There’s revenge, discussions of social class, and the dark – even
defensive – side of human nature when the ego is bruised and
feelings are hurt. Today we’re joined by Oscar-nominated actors
Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, as well as Alison Oliver, who play
Catherine Earnshaw, Heathcliff, and Isabella Linton in the new
retelling, “Wuthering Heights”. Learn more about your ad choices.
