  • 'the handsome, charismatic Lord Rochester' *facepalm* since when was Rochester handsome, a lord or even charismatic, for that matter?

  • Have you ever noticed that the greatest female writers that are grouped together such as charlotte and emily brontë and jane austen never married? I think they used Those emotions in their stories. I never really appreciated Emily because her story doesnt have a happy ending but i do appreciate her now, i wish she wouldve been able to live past the illness :(

  • Wuthering Heights is the best book ive read but i dont like emily's poetry :/

  • @carolina591987 have you read "no coward soul is mine"?

  • @iorixs nope, i havent read that one. is it good?

  • @iorixs i read that she had it read at her funeral. emile bronte was a mystic, a prophetess.

  • The BBC "Jane Eyre' is my favorite one...

  • honestly (although i'm quite interested in emily bronte's death) i watched this video to learn how "bronte" is spelled!

  • Couldn't they find a more appropriate British voice to narrate?

  • @mckavitt i wonder what kind of accent the brontes had. probably more northern than southern i would think

  • Wuthering Heights, my favorite novel forever <3

  • AMC was born this year, secondary Star Guide was 6 and primary was 3 for a Forty year limit, 13 October 1971(Wednesday) - 2011 (Thursday). Writing books is harsh and women suffered a lot in still patriarchal dominated world. When will a woman be elected in the US the "land of the free"?

  • Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell who wrote a book: The Life Of Charlotte Bronte was also a close friend of Charlotte. The book has a heart wrenching description of Emily's death made all the more poignant by the author's close relationship with Emily's sister.

  • Love Wuthering Heights !!!!!!

  • Am I the only one who found it weird that they claimed her readers 'understood' her and then showed a clip calling it a love story? Damn...

  • "There is no punishment for anything anyone has done" ??!!! Has this woman actually read "WH" ???!!! How facile!

  • I wanted to just read and brood in my room, but after watching a wonderful documentary about someone I can relate to, I feel so much better. I like her poems, but I really want to read Wuthering Heights.

    Oh how I love gothic literature. If it did not exist, I would be dead already.

    I used to love that walk when I lived in Yorkshire! We sat there , with my husband, for hours, reading, eating and playing with a sweet, completely tamed sheep that was like a puppy (that was in the late 1990s). It's a great place to read 'Wuthering Heights' and you did a perfectly rational thing.

  • idiot!!!!!

  • Died, she did.......did, I tell you......

  • Please read "Emily's Ghost" by Denise Giardina.

  • emily was beautiful

  • which heathcliff is this?

  • I'm gettting ready to do an author review for a project in school. I'm stuck between Emily Bronte, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. I'm thinking seriously about Bronte, I just don't know what book to read.

  • Emily Bronte only wrote Wuthering Heights I think.

  • I'd go for Dickens. Definitely ..

  • Wuthering Heights is the only novel she wrote, but there are some poems too

  • read wuhering heights it's fantastic

  • Write it about Jane Austen. She is a literary genius.

  • Jane Eyres my favorite book too. It's the female wish fulfillment. And the writing is genius.

  • Thanks for uploading this! What is the title of the documentary?

    I have some objections though:Branwell is far too chubby,he was know thin&dying from marasmus.And why does everybody attack Charlotte?She was "infatuated" with George Smith(!!!)It was the first time she ever saw him&in a letter she says she didn't like him at first.Emily never learned that it had slipped CB that there were 3 sisters. CB wrote to Mr Williams to caution him to avoid mentioning any knowledge of Emily's identity.

  • perfect. beautiful. tragic. brilliant...

  • Handsome and charismatic Lord Rochester. Not handsome, only a mister

  • Yes another misunderstanding of Charlotte being presented as a frivolous woman "obsessed" with Heger, "infatuated" with George Smith&in love with "a handsome" Rochester. I wonder doesn't anybody bother to read her novels before judging.

    I like Emily Bronte but I dislike her being compared with Charlotte as if the one was a dreamer and the other a practical. They were different wonderful personalities both of them and even their novels don't deserve to be judged negatively one against the other.

  • Am I the only one who is thinking that her life wasn't tragic at all. I am pretty sure that if I compare it to my life or people I know this sentimental documentary just tries too hard. It seems that she had too many privileges and that exactly drove her into her self-created misery.

  • Sorry, I don't understand. What are these privileges you speak of? I'm curious.

  • @LogInAnders So the death of her mother, being sent to a cruel boarding school, the death of her 2 older sisters and finally her only brother, then suffering and dying of tuberculosis....is not tragic? Perhaps some other people do have more tragedy in their lives, but I wouldn't exactly call her misery self-created.

  • It's me!!

  • Great video.

  • I really enjoyed this very much great. The narrator also had a very pleasant voice.

    Thank you

  • I really enjoyed this

  • Miałam 13 lat,gdy pierwszy raz przeczytałam "Jane Eyre"...ale do dziś pamiętam uczucia,które mną zawładnęły...Tak jest do dziś,gdy czytam po raz kolejny...Aha Rochester...Stephens zdecydowanie lepszy w adaptacji filmowej,niż Dalton...:-))

  • Oh please, repeat in English what you say about Jane Eyre!

  • I wrote that I was 13 years old when first read "Jane Eyrie", but to this day I remember what an impression on me had this book.I wrote also that T. Stephens more I liked the adaptation of the book than T.Dalton:)Sorry for my English, but the Greek does not know:)

    Χαιρετώ την πολωνική ...:)

  • Thank you for your trouble! I wish I could say something in Polish too, but I don't speak the language at all. Jane Eyre is my all time favorite book.

  • My favorite book ever,a violent passion unparalleled.

  • poor emily, rest in peace. i never thought of it that way-that she and heathcliff were simular.

    wuthering heights is my favorite novel. and the movies are great too.

  • i have to read this book in school! it seems really good so far

  • her life was tragic

  • this is a very good story of emily bronte. Well worth watching

  • this is a very good story of emily bronte. Well worth watching

  • this is a very good story of emily bronte. Well worth watching

  • this is a very good story of emily bronte. Well worth watching

  • Such a great story. If you haven't read 'Wuthering Heights' I advice you to ignore any on screen adaption. Read the book, it is far better.

  • I've read it more than 15 times.Such a great book!!!i love it.

  • it´s possibel to get this video with english subs? I need it for a report at school, please tell me

  • please make a song about BRONTE its my smallest daughters name and my middle daughters name is EMILY

  • and then Anne dies in early 1849 - bad news, all from tuberculosis.

    The sofa on which Emily expires can still be seen at the parsonage. I have to say I thought the doctor sees Emily alive and just says, 'Yes you're right, she's dying.'

    They probably all got it from the father Patrick (TB not their literary genius)

  • I'am called Bronte!. This is really weird but really sad. By the way I'am talking about my name being on you tube. h

  • Harry Bronte, you've been tumbled! ;-)

    But their father's name was actually "Brunty" before he changed it to Bronte. And since they left no descendants, they can have no relatives of the surname Bronte.

    Surely pronounced "Brontee" (unlaut - but not German), not "Brontay" (accent aigu - French) as in this doc. A bit of a mystery...

  • It is pronounced Brontee - that's my name! =D I hate it when people call me Brontay x.x

  • thanks for posting this!!

  • Your band are truly shit.

    Your sister must be deaf from listening to that racket all day......

  • my name is Bronte

  • well it would be possible if the had a niece or a nephew or more distant relted and then tou're still related to the sisters even when it is not in a direct line

  • Wuthering Heights is a novel like none other. It's a work of genuine genius.

  • @ecec333 I am reading it for school right now. I have to agree it is amazing.

  • I am related to the Bronte Sisters!

  • really how?

  • Um ,technically that would be impossible because all of their siblings had died and none of them ever had children. None of them except for Charlotte was married and she died because she wasn't fit for even her earlier stages of pregnancy.

  • You're absolutely right, although I have read the odd rumour that Branwell fathered an illegitimate child, which died in infancy.....

  • @ FantasmaLuna666

    No, it wouldn't. She/he could be descended from one of their relatives, not necessarily from one of them.

  • hurt everyone it touched.Emily says, about their graves,"A generation lost." Have thought the same of members of my own family.

  • I really enjoyed this - thank you for posting!

  • Substitute "suffering" for "punishment" and I've made my point above. OOps!

  • How can they say that Wuthering Heights has no suffering, that no one suffers in it? Catherine dies! And she haunts Heathcliffe who goes mad because of it! No suffering?!

  • I LOVE Wuthering Heights, and read it every year or two and have since I first read it in high school over 35 years ago.

  • I thought I was the only one who feels compelled to read WH every so often...good to know there's others out there.

  • I'm not alone! This is weird. I try hard to forget the story so that I can enjoy it more so but, after god knows how many readings, that's an impossibility.

    Otherwise, I'm not at all into romantic novels.

    I moved from London to those moors. I've always intended to reread the book at the ruins at Withins Height. Having done a bit of this at nearby ruins, it helps me FEEL the story even better.

    Nutcase? Possibly. Otherwise, I'm unemotional and clinically rational.

  • Sorry, I mean "Top Withins", GRID SD981353.

    Enjoy.
