I dont know, but he might be right. Society was more kinky than we think it was and writers, to avoid being banned, would resort to using code phrases to hide the real meaning of their words.

Even if I conceded the point, and I do not in the case of Emily Bronte, movie and TV versions of truly great literature should keep the subtleties intact as much as possible, or change the name to something else.

The sexed up "Great Expectations" and the change of the ending of "The Scarlet Letter" are a betrayal of the author, with ghouls feeding off of a great legacy.

Don’t fall for their degenerate nonsense. I read the original work in high school, and there isn’t even the smallest hint of perverted sex, or even extra-marital sex.
