Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, has ignited controversy due to their ages and Australian backgrounds. Critics argue that Robbie, not fitting the traditional image of Cathy, alongside Elordi's Heathcliff, diverges from Emily Brontë's original characters. Although Fennell's films often sacrifice historical accuracy for visual impact, the debate does raise questions about fidelity to the source material. The adaptation, much like many predecessors, may embrace a reinterpretation rather than a faithful portrayal, leaving audiences wondering about its true essence and intent.
Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi's casting as Cathy and Heathcliff in Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights has sparked debate, considering their ages and ethnic backgrounds.
The criticisms aimed at the casting reflect on Fennell's controversial reputation as a director known for prioritizing style and excess over strict historical accuracy in adaptations.
