Jacob Elordi's casting as Heathcliff has sparked controversy, with many pointing out that the character's racial identity is integral to the novel's themes.
Heathcliff is initially depicted as a romantic hero, but evolves into a vengeful Byronic figure, intimately connected to his experiences of racism and alienation.
Fans argue that Elordi's casting does not align with the original character's description as 'dark-skinned,' raising questions about fidelity to the source material.
The discourse around this casting highlights broader conversations about representation in film, particularly in adaptations of traditionally white narratives.
