Today's blog offers a review of the 2026 film adaptation of Wuthering Heights.

August 28, 2026 Thanks to Alissa Simon, HMU Tutor, for today’s post. Emerald Fennell says that, in her films, every single detail matters. That every detail should create an emotional response. Her slightly exotic, absurd, and otherworldly adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights certainl...

The Marcus Aurelius Project
###VII. In the whole constitution of man, I see not any virtue contrary to justice, whereby it may be resisted and opposed. But one whereby pleasure and voluptuousness may be resisted and opposed, I see: continence. - Book 8

The Marcus Aurelius Project
###V. What? are either Panthea or Pergamus abiding to this day by their masters' tombs? or either Chabrias or Diotimus by that of Adrianus? O foolery! For what if they did, would their masters be sensible of It? or if sensible, would they be glad of it? or if glad, were these immortal? Was not it appointed unto them also (both men and women,) to become old in time, and then to die? And these once dead, what would become of these former? And when all is done, what is all this for, but for a mere bag of blood and corruption? -- Book 8
