Ahahahhahaha. Yes. It's an incredibly violent book, and the child abuse is very egregious. The first time I read it, I thought Hindley was going to end up killing Hareton somehow, and he very nearly does.

It wouldn’t have been so jarring if I hadn’t thought it was a love story, but that’s what I’d always heard. If that wasn’t the case I probably would have enjoyed it more without the constant intrusive thoughts of "WHO THE HELL THINKS THIS MESSED UP, SOCIOPATHIC SHIT IS ROMANTIC? What is WRONG with people?"

[lunabee34]

Oh yes. That would be very jarring. It doesn't help that every time it's been filmed, it's been framed as the uber love story and the other elements elided.

There was a TV version in the 90s, starring Ralph Fiennes, that got bad reviews because "it makes Cathy and Heathcliffe look like terrible people!" And I laughed and laughed. And thought it was pretty good, for a story about two psychos. Because they're TERRIBLE!

[lunabee34]

Ooooh, I haven't seen that one.

I love the one with Timothy Dalton as Heathcliff, but it's just not gritty enough.

It actually was a theatrical release, not a TV movie. IIRC, it was Paramount Pictures UK's first production or something like that.

Despite the 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I quite like it. I think a lot of that may be because it includes the second generation, who are much more likeable.
