Wuthering Heights Movie Discussion
Wuthering Heights Movie v. Novel
Kyle Valentine
The movie Wuthering Heights portrayed the characters almost as well as they seemed in the Wuthering Heights novel. There, however, where a few instances where the movie showed its differences. Some of the characters played important roles in the story line for the novel, only to be left hardly untouched in the movie. The most effective character in the movie was Catherine. She, in both the movie and the book, was sought to be very passionate only to change into a snobby, stuck up, selfish character. One scene in the movie was of her and Heathcliff laying in the bed together gazing into each other’s eyes, showing their compassion for each other. This, to me, showed exactly how she started out in the novel. Another scene in the movie, was of her sitting at the table and Heathcliff walked up and showed her a paper of the days she spent with him and the days with Edgar. She proceeded to say how pathetic he was for do that. This really showed how rude and selfish she becomes, as she did in the novel. The least effective character in the movie would have to be Linton. In the novel there was a lot to say about him, including the parts where he was learning to read at a very late age and where Cathy helped him by giving him books to read. In the movie however, there were very few scenes with him in it. They didn’t include the parts were he would get made fun of about not being very smart or the ones where he was taught how to read. His character in the movie was downplayed immensely. The movie Wuthering Heights and the novel Wuthering heights both showed the same story line. However, there were some key details left out in the movie that really showed off each of the characters in the novel.
