A STUDY OF THREE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ADAPTATIONS OF WUTHERING HEIGHTS

Резюме

The intention of the paper is to demonstrate the way in which the feminine in Wuthering Heights films is rendered on screen. The author of the article is interested in the feminine, the role of women and the way in which they were received in the society of those days. The research is focus on analysing Wuthering Heights adaptations in terms of their fidelity (or lack of it) to the source text; moreover, it is aim to also address this issue in terms of intertextuality with reference to the layering process, the adding and / or altering of previous film adaptations of the text. The partial conclusion so far is that Wuthering Heights film adaptations imply both recognition and remembrance (of the novel), while also carrying an individual aura within them in terms of the way in which the original material is filtered and staged.
