Читать книгу Heathcliff Redux - Lily Tuck - Страница 43

I read the part in Wuthering Heights where it is Nelly, the housekeeper, and not Catherine who tries to dispel Heathcliff’s black mood by telling him: “You’re fit for a prince in disguise. Who knows, but your father was Emperor of China, and your mother an Indian queen.”******

The movie version with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon, directed by William Wyler, is, in fact, quite different from the novel.
