If you haven't read the Tenant of Wildfell Hall but you're telling me you like Wuthering Heights, or Jane Eyre, or both, PLEASE read the third Brontë sister's Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

In Wuthering Heights the love story is twisted up around revenge and overall selfishness.

In Jane Eyre the love story has to outlast obstacles put there by past mistakes.

In The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, BOTH of those things are happening, but the ending and the exposition is much more thorough than either of the other two and the suffering is more realistically applicable to situations that still happen today.

if you wanna make a historical drama about a brontë sister who resembled her mother and struggled with that, who motivated her sisters to write and had a romantic relationship and who's book enraged the public - why would you pick emily?

Charlotte was the only one who still really knew her mother and her two older sisters. Only her and her older sisters shared her mothers short stature, something she was very insecure about later. Anne didn't know her mother as she was still a baby when she died, but that also stung. She was the only one who didn't have memories of her mother. That naturally set her apart.

Charlotte was by all accounts the one who tried to get her sisters to write commercially. None of the sisters needed motivation to write at all - Anne and Emily continued their story well into adulthood.

Anne and Charlotte both very likely had romantic relationships. Anne with the guy that Emily (2022) ends up pairing with Emily. Charlotte very clearly had something with Ellen Nussey (seriously, read their letters). You don't need a romantic relationship for a Brontë film, but if you need to, there is only one sisters where there isn't any record of her having that sort of connection. Which is Emily.

Ans lastly, Wuthering Heights received some nasty reviews, and Emily was saddned by it to no end. It's very tragic because we now know that novel as a classic. But the Brontë book that made far more people angry to the point where Anne Brontë had to address the criticism in a foreword when the novel was reissued was The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. A book so truthful in its depictions of domestic violence that it shook people. I can't believe that in 2022, there was a movie published that played into the "Anne Brontë smol bean whose books aren't interesting enough to even properly mention" cliché when the only reason Tenant ist known today is because Charlotte refused to have it reissued after Anne's death due to the continued attacks on her sisters character.

“you, sir, are the most phantomlike of all.”

this scene of the 2011 film adaptation lives rent free in my mind — the way he strokes her hair, the contentment and safety, the comfort, the tenderness, the closeness! ahh!

I can't take Emily (2022) seriously because it's so histerically inaccurate that it's annoying to me. i'm not through with it yet, but my least favourite moment so far is when brandwell questions if charlotte loved and cherished emily. as if charlotte's love for emily isn't what inspired Sherley, a whole ass 400 page book. and like. it wasn't emily's book that charlotte stopped from being reprinted. so why this need to demonise charlotte??

“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” “If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.”

- Emily Brontë, from Wuthering Heights.
