4. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Goodall admired 'Jane Eyre' for its moral resolve and independence. Jane’s fierce sense of justice, her endurance in the face of hardship, and her insistence on staying true to herself inspired Goodall. The novel’s introspective narration and themes of spiritual and emotional resilience echoed in Goodall’s own inner world during her isolated years in the forest. It was a story of a woman choosing dignity over comfort—a theme that mirrored Goodall’s own solitary path in science.
Jacob Elordi has ignited fresh uproar after revealing he was about to take a break from acting when Emerald Fennell offered him the controversial Wuthering Heights role, with many saying he should have 'run' from the job. [...]
Social media users were quick to blast Elordi for u-turning on his decision to take a hiatus, with many people saying he should have 'run' from Emerald's text rather than accepting the role.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one said: 'He should've taken that break.'
Another wrote: 'Except you can run from that text though. You should've ran…'
'You can run from that text, and you almost certainly should have,' a third said.
Echoing a similar sentiment, another quipped: 'But you can decline.'
Over on Reddit, one user commented: 'Given that he's a terrible choice for the role he totally could have "run from that text."'
Some, however, are confused by the backlash and have pointed out that Fennell's version will be a 'different' take on the original novel.
'It's clearly going to be a totally different interpretation of the book but… so what?' one commented.
'There's been wildly different interpretations of art since day one. If it's not for you just skip it.'
'I fully trust Emerald to do an awesome job with it,' another agreed. 'She is such a visionary. And the book demands an artistic, unusual view. Even today it scandalizes.' (Cidney Yeates)
