'I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading'

Jagran Josh chooses a quote of Emily Brontë as the quote of the day: 

“I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading: It vexes me to choose another guide.” The quote of the day Emily Brontë perfectly summarizes the significance of listening to your instincts and being faithful to yourself.

The author implies that there is no point to make oneself conform to the will of others, which may prove to be exhausting and uncomfortable. (Alisha Louis)

The quote comes from the poem  Stanzas (Often rebuked, yet always back returning), whose attribution to Emily Brontë is somehow controversial.

Cineuropa reviews the film Victorian Psycho:

Screening towards the end of the Cannes Film Festival, the Un Certain Regard entry Victorian Psycho, directed by Zachary Wigon, is easily one of the guilty pleasures of this year’s selection.  Based on the novel by Spanish author Virginia Feito, the film is a blend of classic Victorian novels, such as Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, and murder stories tinged with deprivation, as suggested by the title, which recalls American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and its subsequent 2000 film adaptation directed by Mary Harron.

Gazette & Herald announces an event in Malton:

In conjunction with the Wesley Centre in Malton, Kemps Bookstore will welcome acclaimed authors Essie Fox and Stephanie Bramwell-Lawes for an evening of gothic fiction.

Inspired by 19th-century novelists and poets, Essie is a bestselling author of gothic historical fiction and has lectured at several esteemed institutions, including the V&A Museum, the Westminster Library, and the National Gallery.

Her books include a Sunday Times Book of the Month, Dangerous, which features Lord Byron as a detective in Venice, and Catherine, an intriguing retelling of Emily Brontë’s classic Wuthering Heights from Catherine’s perspective.

Likewise, Stephanie is a lifelong admirer of Victorian literature, with her favourite novels, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, heavily inspiring her much-anticipated debut novel, Thornby Manor. (...)

Essie and Stephanie will be in conversation at the Wesley Centre on June 5 for a quintessentially gothic evening, perfect for fans of the Brontë sisters.

The event starts at 7.30 pm, and the doors and bar open at 6.45 pm. Tickets are £10 per person or £20 for a ticket and a book. (Karen Darley)

Love London Love Culture loves Charli XCX's Wuthering Heights, but apparently not enough to check who the author of the book is: 

Charli XCX’s album accompanying Emerald Fennell’s take on Charlotte Brontë’s Wuthering Heights is a fascinating listen, capturing the gothic nature of the story but still maintaining a contemporary lens. (...)

Overall, Charli XCX’s interpretation of Wuthering Heights through music is really fitting but can be listened to through modern music fans and how relationships can be turned toxic very quickly. In may ways it is a powerful listen.

El Diario Vasco (Spain) reviews the film How to Make a Killing 2026: 

'Jugada maestra': Heathcliff en el siglo XXI (:..)

Y es que Beckett Redfellow, rebosante de resentimiento generacional y de clase, es la reencarnación del Heathcliff de 'Cumbres Borrascosas' para esta era. O del Conde de Montecristo para este III Milenio. En un entorno de monstruoso capitalismo. Por todo eso, algunos creemos que 'Jugada maestra' es precisamente lo que su título proclama. (Begoña Del Teso) (Translation)

Cinemanía (Spain) makes an intriguing statement. Pedro Almodóvar could be a good Wuthering Heights director. The evidence? His film ¡Átame! 1989:

 '¡Átame!', la  'Cumbres borrascosas' de Almodóvar

En 1989, Pedro Almodóvar estrenó una película que recibió 15 nominaciones al Goya y no ganó un solo cabezón. Pero el tiempo la ha acabado encumbrando como una de sus obras magistrales: ¡Átame! Protagonizada por Victoria Abril y Antonio Banderas, ¡Átame! puede verse en Netflix y Movistar Plus+. Y es el argumento audiovisual que Almodóvar podría esgrimir para que le aceptasen una adaptación de Cumbres borrascosas.

Buñuel y, algo menos, Kosminsky y Fennell han subrayado la perversidad de Heathcliff, el protagonista de Cumbres borrascosas. Sin embargo, en la novela de Brontë, salvo el narrador (un hombre sin nombre que trata a Heathcliff y escucha, por parte de su criada, toda su historia) y algún personaje secundario, toda la fauna del título de Brontë es borrascosa. Empezando por Catherine, a la que se tiende a santificar en las películas o, a lo sumo, a verla como víctima de una obsesión ante el maligno Heathcliff. (Julio Mármol) (Translation)

Cathy's armpits (sic) are still discussed in many places, like Cosmopolitan, for instance. The Cinemaholic discusses how the novel features Heathcliff's race. Nothing new, really. Also in The Cinemaholic, an article about Jacob Elordi's wigs and face hair in Wuthering Heights 2026.
