Moors Misread: Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights Draws Fire
A Defector review argues Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights is visually extravagant but narratively shallow, distorting Brontë's moor-born romance by whitewashing Heathcliff, retooling Catherine, and prioritizing fashion, interiors, and montage over the novel's themes of liberty and ferocity, culminating in a contrived death that reveals little about the characters or Brontë's world.
