Thus it is not surprising that the film will be criticized for its originality. According to the above quote the end product is unique.

Can a novel be successfully transformed into film without spoiling it? Or on the contrary we may consider novels cannot be replaced and by adapting them the films deprive spectators of their ability to imagine? Cinematic adaptations often provoke debates about their fidelity, to the original discussions about how the classic text has been transformed into film, whether adapted movies are spoiling the charm of the novel and thus ruining it, or, on the contrary, whether film has ‘’rescued’’ the novel, making it seem more interesting and worth reading in a new historical context. Wuthering Heights, written between October 1845 and June 1846, by Emily Bronte is one of the main classic novels of English literature, together with Sense and Sensibility 1 (Author Jane Austin) and Great Expectations 2 (Author Charles Dickens), which were successfully transformed into films by British filmmakers.
