Wuthering Heights and Twilight are nothing like RE8's story except they're all set in desolate rural environments.

* Wuthering Heights: dumb people with nothing better to do (and who aren't allowed to joyously gently caress) subject each other and themselves to decades of abuse because they are incapable of expressing love, also pining and BDSM subtexts, existential ennui
* Twilight: pining, dumb people with nothing better to do, Mormonism metaphor, BDSM subtexts, people aren't allowed to joyously gently caress, existential ennui

vs

* RE8: metaphor that the incapability to deal with death turns you into something far worse (also drugs are bad, kids) - the villains inflict their abuse for a clear reason, no one appears in a state of ennui but either downright nihilistic glee (Dimitrescu, Heisenberg) or frantic desperation (Moreau, Ethan himself).

If anything, RE8 has more thematic and topical resemblances to the Picture of Dorian Gray, Faust, Dr Jekyll and fairytales like Bluebeard and Rumpelstilzchen than it does with any of the two other novels mentioned above. Not to mention the very obvious Romanian setting. Moving from RE7's Southern Gothic to actual Romantic Gothic in RE8 was just such a fantastic follow-up.

That's way more attention to detail than RE8 deserve.

Is there a story about bored nobility where they up and leave the unsatisfying life and go do something else?

Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin spend most of the second book of their series embroiled in period-correct Austenian social manoeuvring that keeps getting interrupted by naval shenanigans or Jack having to flee England due to sudden and horrendous debt and then having to dress up as a dancing bear to flee France due to The War starting up again

I guess there's some debate as to just how much they collaborated with the Nazis? There apparently wasn't a shortage of false testimony being used to clear up old grudges and rivals during the war and they were never very popular with certain members of the establishment due to their physical dominance and flauting French 'gender purity' laws by constantly dressing as a man.

A Tale Of Two Cities comes to mind where the usual bored British nobles with their one suicidal friend have their dull orderly lives interrupted by the French Revolution.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
