On Wuthering Heights and Canto VI (part 1)
if I don’t ramble I’ll die (spoilers, obviously)
so far this is probably the closest canto to its source material. we've got so many of the same things- Hindley being an asshole and treating Heathcliff poorly when running the Heights, Heathcliff only running away after hearing what Catherine said, Catherine getting married to Edgar (Linton, I guess? now that's interesting) and then dying, Hindley drinking his life away, even details down to Hindley asking his father for a violin on his trip where he picked up Heathcliff are the same.
The scene with Cathy talking about the feathers in the pillow was especially interesting to see, because that was such a small thing with a different context in the book and it's here in a different form.
What changed the most is that on his trip away from Wuthering Heights, instead of doing whatever the fuck he did in the book, Heathcliff ended up getting friends, AND got to see Ishmael go and destroy herself in the name of revenge firsthand, so he now has the character development to not perpetuate the cycle of abuse. I like that kind of canon divergence. we'll see if he gets worse from here, though!
I really appreciate them leaning into the gothic horror potential of a ghost in a house (though, of course, given how project moon stories go, it probably isn't just a ghost in a house, but like, that's what it gives the image of right now)
so, Linton. Linton Edgar, from the Edgar family. That's.... weird. Especially since Wuthering Heights already has a character with the given name Linton, and especially since Linton Edgar (LCB) and Linton Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights) are both very sickly (and, ngl, Linton Edgar is just as whiny as Linton Heathcliff....). But Linton Edgar seems to be filling the role of Edgar Linton. Linton Edgar also has an older brother who "left" and that's how he ended up with most of the family fortune, and neither Linton Heathcliff nor Edgar Linton had an older brother. it's definitely a standout when compared to all the stuff from above that's one-to-one with the source material. since they're already setting up some weird mirror world shit, I'm inclined to believe this is also related to that, but what the hell are they cooking
Nelly seems way too cool and cute, which makes me think she'll either betray us spectacularly, or die horribly.
Josephine, on the other hand, is hilarious and I hope she survives no matter what. I wasn't expecting Joseph at all and they went and genderbent him (gotta meet that old hag quota). Her personality is mostly the same, though the dedication to god seems to have been replaced by a dedication to the establishment, which makes sense in this setting.
thrilled to see how things get more fucked up

Wurthering Heights thoughts for canto 6
In preparation for the canto, I have read Wurthering Heights. Here is some analysis for those who haven't read it.
It's pretty clear that this Canto cannot be set after the end of the story, since by that point Heathcliff has owned the heights for years, and almost all the rest of the cast is dead. However, theres a pretty obvious point to toss us into the story, and thats the period in which Heathcliff returns to the heights after three years of absence, at which point hes a lot richer. However, in this version of the story it seems like hes only pretending to be that rich, hence him wanting the hair coupons and nice clothing. this is also interesting because cathy is still alive, but is about to die, so we'd get some interaction with her. Its also at this point that Heathcliff goes from being more or less a victim in the novel, to being the full on main antagonist, so combined with it being an even-numbered canto I believe we are going to be truly awful.
as for the funeral we saw so long ago, theres one person who it could be. Earnshaw, Heathcliff's adopted father, as his death was the turning point for heathcliffs life, where he went from having status and a good relationship with Cathy into misery and depression, it would make sense that we'd see it.
However, with how much of the story happens after Heathcliff takes over the Heights, I think via either mirror shenanigans or T corp tech we will see that as a possible future, one where Heathcliff fails to move on and instead obsesses over torturing the people of the heights for the rest of his life, and its that universe that we will get his main ID from, similar to how Nclair comes from a different universe and has no equivalent in ours.
Also, while I don't know exactly what that factory in the trailer is, it would not surprise me if its name was Threshcross Grange, or something similar to it, simply because that is the only other named location in the book. It was just another house, but if they're not including that place then it'd make sense to recycle the name, or else have the people who live there own the factory, as they're much richer than the Heights residents.
I'd also like to argue against the idea that this canto will be set after the book, and we'll get the twist that our Heathcliff is actually book Heathcliff son. Linton Heathcliff is extremely different from his father, and would have no motivation to look nice upon his return to the heights, whereas that was an explicit goal of book Heathcliff. In addition, the heights after the events of the book is described as a very nice place to live, which would not fit what we've seen of the location thus far.

Stories that would be improved by polyamory:
Dracula: it's basically a novel of kitchen-table polyamory already, but this way someone might actually kiss Jack Seward.
A Midsummer Night's Dream: just let them all have an orgy at the end. I feel like they'd be into it. Puck's invited too if he wants.
Bridget Jones' Diary: why force a choice between Mark and Daniel if there was the option to have both?
Any Arthuriana: less cheating, more honesty, fewer duels, more snogging, everyone's a winner.
Stories that would be made worse by polyamory:
Wuthering Heights: dear God do not give Cathy and Heathcliff a reason to drag more people into their terrible relationship than are already involved.

i hate you romantically involved characters who talk to each other like they’re in a couples counseling session, i hate you watering down of the word toxic, i hate you plot twists where the male love interest is actually a villain because see, silly girl? in the REAL world guys like that are DANGEROUS, i hate you relationship therapist breaks down movie couple’s relationship videos, i hate you “romeo and juliet were just stupid horny teenagers” “belle had stockholm syndrome” “wuthering heights isn’t romantic” hot takes, i hate you sanitization of romance in fiction
