Emerald Fennell explains significant changes in Wuthering Heights and why some characters were cut

Emerald Fennells Wuthering Heights takes a unique approach to Emily Bronts 1847 classic, concentrating on the first half of the novel and the stormy relationship between Cathy and Heathcliff. The director made hard decisions to condense characters, extend Earnshaws role, and remove others like Lockwood and Hindley while preserving the storys emotional intensity. The movie also alters the ending, keeping Cathy and Heathcliff apart to highlight missed connections and tragic love.
