'He went up to the attics when all was burning above and below'

First of all, on this day in 1820 Anne Brontë was born in Thornton. Happy 203rd, Anne!

We are not sure that this metaphor of Brexit as Bertha Mason crafted by The Telegraph actually works:

Let’s not beat about the bush. Brexit has become the madwoman in the country’s attic. Demonised, its spirit crushed, it looms over the UK like Mr Rochester’s wife, Bertha Mason, in Jane Eyre. Of course, Bertha – who sets fire to her husband’s bed and rips up Jane’s wedding veil – cannot be blamed for all the chaos that she causes. A rebellious force of nature, she is driven to insanity by repression and neglect. So, too, has Brexit been turned into a national psychodrama. With no plan to unleash its potential, it can only fester, stoking tensions in Northern Ireland and strangling small firms with red tape. (Sherelle Jacobs)

No mention of Bertha setting Thornfield Hall on fire and maiming her husband, though perhaps that's what will come later on if its so-called 'potential' is 'unleashed'. The article goes on to say that, 'The grave reality is that even those ostensibly committed to making the most of our new freedoms never really worked out how to do so.' That 'new freedom' would of course be giving Bertha the matches. Brexit has been turned into a 'national psychodrama', but not the way the columnist means but because a handful of politicians decided to take the lives of the citizens of a country and use them to their personal or political advantage (or so they expected, rather short-sightedly as usual). It was never going to end up well, that potential has been shown repeatedly to have been nothing but lies and undoable plans. Cynically dismissing the very real problems Brexit has brought for so many people as a 'psychodrama' just goes to show how out of touch with reality some people are. Bertha Mason is fictional but unfortunately, Brexit and its many downsides are very, very real. (Sorry for the non-Brontë tangent).

The Spanish edition of Newsweek and e-cartelera (Spain) review Emily. The latter gives it a 7/10 and sums it up as follows:

Lo mejor: Su sentido de época, la interpretación de Emma Mackey, su música.

Lo peor: Se toma demasiadas licencias en lo referente a la inspiración amorosa para 'Cumbres borrascosas'. Su parte final desluce las sensaciones iniciales. (Miguel Ángel Pizarro) (Translation)

The Times discusses zombies inspired by the new TV series The Last of Us and mentions the film I Walked with a Zombie, loosely based on Jane Eyre. The latest episode of the Eyre Buds podcast features the 1957 Italian Mini Series based on Jane Eyre.
