How the fuck did a woman manage to write some of the most brutally characterized characters in all of fiction only for men to romanticize them to hell?

Kate Bush's red dress version is exactly the kind of perfect adaptation of tone you just can't stretch to 90mins.

woah woah woah I never said that the reason the adaptations are bad is "men"
I was just calling attention to how bronte had more spine than the people trying to adapt her. There's been women too of course

The tone is that of vapid pop music, it's not a good adaptation let alone perfect. There's no pathos in her squeaky voiced lyrics of awkward dancing, and visually it's the level of a college art project. You're nuts.

There's decent female authors out there but you have to look pretty hard. I'd say that some of the stuff Evelyn Waugh wrote is just as good (or nearly as good) as anything written by a man. I was pleasantly surprised when I read Brideshead Revisisted.

Wuthering Heights is trash. Overblown kitsch. No wonder it's so popular among the same class of women who listen to Kate Bush, Lingua Ignota, and cry watching sitcom reunions.
