초록

This paper examines the difference in characteristics of the 1939 film and 1992 film of Wuthering Heights, focusing on the theme of sexuality. My analysis relies on the adaptation theories of Kamilla Elliott and her two concepts of film adaptation: The ventriloquist concept of adaptation and the trumping concept of adaptation. The 1939 film by William Wyler is faithful to the verntriloquist concept of adaptation in which it reduces the novel’s complex and violent words and actions, replacing them with a mercenary economic process that preys on romantic desire. The 1939 film, in order to attract the attention of the audience, depicts a romantic love that was more permissible in the 1930’s, as opposed to the violent love presented in the novel. However, the 1992 film (directed by Peter Kosminsky) expresses the repressed Victorian sexuality. This modern film shows Elliott’s idea in the manner that films claim to trump the novels they adapt. This film does a work of psychoanalysis for this novel, its author, and culture in which the story is set.
