The Brontë sisters, between passion and tragedy

In the mid-nineteenth century, the Brontë sisters marked a turning point in English Romantic literature. Charlotte, Emily and Anne wrote with unprecedented dramatic energy. Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte, portrays a young governess with an unshakeable will, who faces trials and torments with dignity.

For her part, Emily Brontë wrote a masterpiece of profound intensity in Wuthering Heights, a tragic tale set on the wild Yorkshire moors. The love turmoil between Catherine and Heathcliff fuels an epic atmosphere in which nature echoes the moods of the characters.

Thanks to their explosive blend of dark romanticism and uncontrollable passions, these two masterpieces still inspire fascination and admiration today. (Amandine Enard-Hauger)

Jane Eyre (2011)

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is a classic piece of English literature and the inspiration for the 2011 film adaptation with the same titular name. The film stars Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender as Jane Eyre and Mr. Edward Rochester. Jane becomes the governess at Rochester's estate where strange occurrences appear to be normal. There've been many adaptations of Brontë's brilliant work, but the 2011 adaptation emphasizes gothic romance themes from the novel. Fassbender's Rochester accurately portrays the Byronic hero seen in the genre as he remains a mystery to Jane and seems to be withholding dark secrets. The film also tackles those societal issues like gender roles and classism. (Valerie Soto)
