Ann Ciccolella directs onto the stage a gothic romance known the world over as “the one with the attic wife.” Jane Eyre, a favorite among anyone who wishes the Beast hadn’t transformed at the end of Beauty and the Beast, comes to life at the Long Center thanks in part to a reimagining from National Theatre and Bristol Old Vic. Opening this Saturday, November 9, this play version promises to stay true to Eyre’s story of “one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfillment on her own terms.” But riddle me this! Will they have that one scene where Rochester dresses up like an old witch and gives all his rich friends bad fortune readings. (James Scott)
Ten Classic Books with Love Stories More Intense Than Any Modern Romance in Times Now News:
1. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Few love stories are as haunting as that of Heathcliff and Catherine in 'Wuthering Heights.' Set on the moors, their love is wild, obsessive, and self-destructive. It’s a tale of passion and revenge, where love transcends even death, leaving readers captivated by its intensity. Brontë’s masterpiece explores the darker side of love, revealing the pain that can accompany such deep emotions. (...)
3. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
The love between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester is as enduring as it is unconventional. Despite their social differences and dark secrets, their bond is one of mutual respect and genuine affection. 'Jane Eyre' explores love as a force that transcends personal adversity, with Jane’s independence and strength making their romance all the more compelling. Brontë’s novel celebrates a love built on resilience and honesty. (Girish Shukla)
The Times of India lists loving and romantic quotes from books and classics:
Wuthering Heights: "He's is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same". This classic novel tells the passionate and tragic love story of Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw.
USA Today defines Rip and Beth's relationship in Yellowstone as:
 They're potent alone, but together Rip and Beth transform into a cattle ranch "Wuthering Heights" Catherine and Heathcliff, who are wildly devoted to each other. (Bryan Alexander)
Offaly Independent reports that the Heritage Hero 2024 Award has been awarded to James Scully:
The Heritage Council has announced Offaly native James Scully as the recipient of its 2024 Heritage Hero award. (...)
James was responsible for establishing the Brontë Society in Banagher last year, dedicated to raising awareness of the association of Charlotte Brontë and her husband, Arthur Bell Nicholls, with the Offaly town.
InsideHook makes an interesting point:
 According to Dattatreyan, using popular media to peer into the lives of others goes back decades. In the 1930s and ‘40s, advertisements between radio shows would feature middle-class housewives describing their kitchens and the products they use. Consider even further back, to the Victorian novel: the Brontë sisters revealed 19th-century ways of life for different social classes, from home design to food preparation, through their books.
The only difference is that today we don’t need to read Jane Eyre to learn about the domestic lives of strangers, we just need to watch a five-minute TikTok from Caleb Simpson. (Zoe De Leon)
Ara (in Catalan) reviews the novel by Maryse Condé,  Célanire cou-coupé:
Condé tal vegada enterra una pista perquè trobem aquesta semblança entre el llibre de Dumas i Célanire en el cognom dels protagonistes: Picaud/Pinceau. Passava de forma més explícita a l'anterior La migració dels cors, cita i homenatge a Cims Borrascosos d'Emily Brontë. (David Vidal Castell) (Translation)

 Netflix Junkie, FandomWire, El Periódico (Spain), GeekFeed, and others repeat all that is has been said about the Wuthering Heights 2025 project.
