Jesus Christ, nothing shows to you how unusual and challenging Cathy Earnshaw is as a heroine more than watching the average adaptation of Wuthering Heights. I don't think I've seen one yet where they didn't neuter her.

#wuthering heights #1939 is a Hays Code speedrun and replaces about 90% of her dialogue #2009 puts Nelly's lines in her mouth and cuts her violent temper #I haven't seen 2011 yet though I've heard good things #Tom Hardy's Heathcliff is weirdly passive-aggressive which doesn't help #even if Cathy did have her book personality she'd have nothing to bounce off
