@muskndusk the Earnshaw family, which is how he wins the Heights. You don't mention that the first Catherine dies in childbirth and gives birth to another Catherine, the one Heathcliff hates for killing the mother. Strangely, births just pop out of the blue!
I think it's a book about creating evil, vengeance and the endurance of love after death.

An important aspect which you missed is the "framing" story (Mr Lockwood is being told the story by Nelly, so it is filtered through several minds). But more importantly who or what is Heathcliff. Is he simply a lost gipsy child found by Mr Earnshaw and inherently wicked; or a personification of evil; or a child turned bitter by the way he's treated by Hindley? The Brontes were interested in the nature/nurture issue. My take is that grief makes him take revenge on the second generation of....

Its quite unsettling and tragic.
But probably the most amazing book I have ever read.

Yeah, I agree. Hands down one of the best, if not the best, love story ever and my favorite book. I read it for the first time when I was about 11 or 12 years old in Spanish, and it also made an impression on me. I loved it, I fell in love with it. Then I read it again ten years later now in English and it reminded me why it's my favorite book of all times. Heathcliff is actually my favorite character, and like you said he was more loving than Cathy, she was really cruel to him. Great video.

Thanks for your post. With out a doubt the best love story ever. However i can not bring myself to sympathise with caterine, she fell ill when heathcliff left, he did hoever come back. She died of a broken heart, whats not fair is that she continued to break heathcliffs heart for the next 21 years untill catherine finally drove him insane with love for her! (when heathcliff kills himself) As rough as heathcliff is, he is by far softer and more loving than catherine.
