Author Emily Brontë is best known for Wuthering Heights. The novel is famous for its complex narrative structure, involving stories within stories. Adapting the book for a movie is difficult. A novel can use multiple narrators to explain the past, but a movie typically relies on visual action in the present. To transform the book into a film, screenwriters often have to simplify the timeline and cut out the secondary narrators, focusing only on the main characters.
