Kharmel Cochrane, the casting director for the adaptation of 'Wuthering Heights' by Emerald Fennell, responded to criticism over the casting of Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi due to their ages and Elordi's ethnicity. At the Sands film festival, she emphasized that fidelity to the original age and ethnicity of characters isn’t necessary, as the story is fictional. Despite the historical context in which the tale is set, Cochrane argues for artistic license in modern adaptations. This perspective has sparked mixed reactions online, hinting at deep divisions on interpretation of classic literature.

There's definitely going to be some English Lit fans that are not going to be happy. Wait until you see the set design, because that is even more shocking.
