Currently in the middle of marking essays on, among other Victorian writings, Wuthering Heights. Back in September I watched the 1939 film adaptation starring Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon (perhaps the best name ever). Though the film doesn't stick very closely to the plot it does have the most melodramatic death scene you might ever encounter - see the penultimate image above.
In other news, "New Year" begins for me tomorrow. While most others diligently start afresh on January 1st I like to give myself a week to refocus before I begin to tweak things. Plus, it's handy to have an extra week to finish the mince pies and Christmas chocos, who also happen to be my faithful companions during January marking week.
