Show Notes
Wuthering Heights is often remembered as a great romance, but it’s really a story about emotional extremes — love that becomes obsession, grief that turns into anger, and pain that is passed from one generation to the next. The 2026 film starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi is based on the classic novel by Emily Brontë and directed by Emerald Fennell. Like the book, it tells the story of the intense and destructive relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw.
In this episode, Alice and Maria ask what happens when trauma, abandonment, and jealousy are never processed? Ever. And how do those feelings shape the way people treat the people they love?
