Margot Robbie doesn’t look like Cathy Linton — but neither do most Cathy Lintons.

That hasn’t stopped her, however, from standing on the English hillside in a billowing wedding dress on the set of Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. Their relatively young ages and social differences contribute to their doomed romance, but Brontë’s novel is more often defined by its depiction of cruelty and morality within the rigid English class system.
