摘要
This paper argues that Yoshida's 1988 film version of Wuthering Heights, called Arashi-ga-Oka or The Hill of the Storm, excels in analogizing the frost/fire strife from which Emily Bronte moulds the tragic lovers' hearts. For Yoshida distils Emily Bronte's landscape characterization to its elementally oxymoronic essence by likewise rooting it in the fiery/frosty fluidity of such Gondal figures as the outlaw Douglas. Arashi-ga-Oka revisions Wuthering Heights in terms of its elemental vision of love as deadly fire and ice.
