Problematic dynamics in romance is nothing new. Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre” features a predatory relationship between sheltered young Jane and her much older employer, the shifty Mr. Rochester. In real life, this would absolutely be considered sexual misconduct. It’s important to identify these problematic aspects in stories so we do not perpetuate them in real life; however, fiction gives us a medium to experiment with things that we don’t support in reality. I enjoy critical analysis in literature because I think books reflect humanity in exciting ways, but it’s important to remember that fiction is a parallel but separate world from reality.Also, while real-life predators hold the power in the dynamic, Mr. Rochester is merely a figment of Brontë’s imagination, and she controls his actions.

Autumnal hues gradually give way to unclothed woodlands and leaf carpeted floors, as diminishing days induce a lengthy veil of darkness. Of this time, Emily Bronte writes in Spellbound, "The night is darkening round me/ The wild winds coldly blow". (Stephen Colton)
«Les Hauts de Hurlevent », un roman d’amour ? Certainement pas. L’histoire inventée par Emily Brontë est un livre d’une noirceur terrible, un mélange inouï de violence et de haine. Le personnage d’Heathcliff est bien plus sulfureux que ne l’ont montré la quarantaine d’adaptations du roman au cinéma. Ce qui est présenté comme de l’amour se décline en réalité en une soif inextinguible de vengeance, qui s’exerce même contre les enfants de Cathy, son amour défunt. (Caroline Constant) (Translation)
