Saltburn is Wuthering Heights

Oliver= Heathcliff

Felix= Catherine

Venetia= Isabella

Farleigh= Hindley AND the younger generation who survive to the end of the book like Hareton.

The grave scene! Oliver is Heathcliff. I just don't understand why no one else has pointed this out.

MWW Artwork of the Day (3/3/23) Mabel Pryde Nicholson (British, 1871–1918) The Grange, Rottingdean (1911) Oil on canvas, 91.5 x 72.5 cm. National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh

Pryde grew up in the centre of Edinburgh’s artistic, literary and theatrical circles.  This painting depicts Pryde's children Nancy (1899-1977) and Kit (1904-1948), who grew up to be a designer and an architect. Nancy is shown seated and in profile, whilst Kit is seen through a door, wearing a Glengarry cap and standing in the black-and-white tiled hall. Behind him a door opens on to the dining room. The complex composition, at once interior and double-portrait, is lit from several sources. Shadow and reflection play a part in creating an atmosphere of contemplation and anticipation. Pryde frequently painted her four children and insisted on paying them a small fee to model.

I really wish The Grange would have historical reactors,, which yes, I know doing all eight kids would be extreme especially because it's not that big of a house (Or at least they haven't actually fixed up too many rooms for showing). But still, at least having reactors for Elizabeth and Hamilton would be nice

Do you why Hamilton and Eliza called their house 'The Grange'. I'm reading Wuthering Heights and one of the houses is called Thrushcross Grange so I feel like it was a common name for a house- but I'm not 100% sure.

Naming the house “the Grange” was a reference to Hamilton’s Scottish heritage. Hamilton’s grandfather, also named Alexander Hamilton, was the Laird of Grange, and Hamilton’s father, James Hamilton, was raised in Kerelaw Castle in Ayrshire, Scotland. The idea was to hearken back to the Hamilton family’s past as landed gentry -- so you made kind of an interesting connection with Thrushcross Grange, in that it’s also named to make you think of an old, sprawling estate.

Hamilton reconnected with his family in Scotland in the late 1790s, but sadly never had the chance to visit. (See, e.g.  Alexander Hamilton to William Hamilton, 2 May 1797.) Hamilton’s son, James, did have the chance to go back to see the ancestral home, however, and he wrote about his visit to Scotland many years after his father’s death in his autobiography:

My most interesting visit was to Grange, in Ayrshire, the residence of Alexander Hamilton, who was a cousin of my father.  My grandfather, James Hamilton, had lived on this place--not in the house the Laird now occupied, but in a large stone house of which the ruins still remained, covered with ivy. I am the only descendant of my grandfather who ever visited the home of his ancestors, which he left probably more than one hundred years before to seek his fortune in the West Indies. The relative whose guest I was, then eighty years of age, was most hospitable. (Reminiscences of James A. Hamilton, 302).
