The New Yorker reimagines some characters from classic novels as clickbaits and the one about Jane Eyre is just brilliant.

BuzzFeed interviewed Emma Mackey and asked her about her role in the Emily not-a-biopic.
15. Looking ahead, what can you tease about your upcoming role in Emily?
Oh, wow. It was very intense, I can't lie. It was amazing. It was brilliant because I love literature and I love history. So it kind of brought the two worlds together for me. It's not a biopic, which is quite good because we actually don't know an awful lot about Emily Brontë because she was a very private person. The clever thing that Frances O'Connor, who is the director and writer, is she kind of interwove elements of Wuthering Heights with some biographical elements.
So it is a complete reimagining of her life and we kind of just flesh out a completely new person in a way. It's based on Brontë's life but it's really a reimagining. We created a world for her, which is really exciting. It kind of takes the pressure off slightly from playing a real-life human being.
16. How was it filming Sex Education Season 3 right into Emily?
Yeah, so, I came off Sex Ed and went straight up to shoot Emily. I had like three weeks between the two and I was just like, "Alright, let's go." I'm very lucky to be able to do that so it was really fun. (Stephane Cardinale)

Driven from her past at Thornfield House, young governess Jane Eyre reflects on her youth and the events that led her to the misty moors. A classic for a reason, Jane Eyre is all about staying true to your values and finding freedom from an oppressive patriarchal system. (Fiona Murphy)
It's autumn now so we have quotations from Emily Brontë's poem 'Fall leaves fall' on many sites such as Metro and Elite Daily. Lancashire Telegraph can't help itself either, but take things a bit further by also recommending 'Five autumnal East Lancashire walking routes' including
2. The Brontë’s Trail, Pendle
If you want to watch woodland leaves turning orange and also learn more about Lancashire’s literary history, then this is the ideal walking trail for you.
The Brontë sisters spent a lot of their time exploring Lancashire and the South Pennine Moors.
They also wrote plenty of poems dedicated to the season, such as Emily’s 'Fall, Leaves, Fall’.
This walking route begins in the heart of the Trawden Forest and sees you walk by historic farmhouses and beautiful woodland.
Also on the route is Wycoller Hall, which experts say is the model for Ferndean Manor in Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre.
The route ends as the summit of Boulsworth Hill.
