Did Brontë & Austen Shade Each Other? 👀

Emily Brontë’s iconic line about soulmates in Wuthering Heights is often hailed as the most romantic ever, but some fans argue Jane Austen’s satirical wit in Pride and Prejudice throws subtle shade at Brontë’s intense passion. Is Austen’s famous opening a clever critique of over-the-top romanticism, or are we reading too much into the rivalry? The fandom is split: some say Austen’s irony is a direct response to the melodrama of Brontë’s era, while others think it’s just classic British humor.
