@JoyceCarolOates It is a wonderful adaptation isn’t it? I first saw it as a young teenager and it truly captured something essential about the novel as high-Gothic romance. Just love it and the casting is perfect.

Joyce Carol Oates
Joyce Carol Oates@JoyceCarolOates·
highly recommend 1939 film "Wuthering Heights" with Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon; no problems in casting here since Heathcliff as a boy is convincingly gypsy-looking, & Laurence Olivier as a roughhewn "prince" in the guise of a stable boy suggests an otherly, non-British background. his nemesis is "lily-white" Edward Linton, an affluent neighbor whom Cathy impulsively marries. in this inspired version of the film the Gothic note is struck immediately: as in "Hamlet," another classic tale of revenge, a ghost appears in the first scene which is a "real" & not imagined ghost, unleashing anguish & precipitating a complicated plot.

the comments on "Wuthering Heights" just seem so sad. it is evident that many/most commentators had only read Part I, not Part II; the novel is hugely ambitious in dramatizing quite an arc of experience, in fact decades. astonishing accomplishment for first-time novelist, like "Jane Eyre" by Emily's sister Charlotte Bronte. perhaps it has just become impossible in the 21st century for readers to grasp a work of the 19th century; as a professor of literature, I think I would not even try to "teach" this today except to literary-minded undergraduates who will have little trouble understanding it.

I’m not saying that your daughters shouldn’t read Wuthering Heights, but I am saying that hopefully before they do, you will have helped them grow an immune system that will be able to recognize it for the garbage that it is.

Catherine O’Hara died today, at 71. In an interview from 2019, the actor talked about her early days in comedy, why a romantic relationship wasn't in the cards for her and Eugene Levy, and her approach to improv (“when in doubt, play insane”).

@andrewjnorton Not sure if I’m reading the legislation update correctly but it only seems to refer to low SES (as they define it) and Indigenous students but not other equity categories?

3. For reasons I am unaware of, they have decided to create a different definition of low SES for need-based funding. May explore the implications in a January blog post.

The needs-based funding legislative instrument has been released, but it is highly unsatisfactory. 1. It imposes conditions on what unis can do with needs-based program money, but does not in itself provide any funding.
