Wuthering Heights
The story of Wuthering Height is full of revenge, anger and love
Everything starts with the raise of Catherin Earnshaw, and Heathcliff, both lived on Wuthering
Heights, the difference between them, was that Catherine was raised to be a mistress, and
Heathcliff, to be a servant; but as they were raised together, the soon began a friendship and later
on, stronger feelings for one another.
Everything changed when Heathcliffs hatred rose, because of Hindleys treatment to Heathcliff,
and he decided to take revenge. Also, when Edgar married Catherine, leaving Heathcliff in a full
state of pain and anger, and he wanted revenge on both Hindley and Lintons.
There were many reasons why Heathcliff hated Edgar, not only, that he took Catherine away
from him, but also that he dared to let a living proof of their marriage who was Cathy Linton.
Heathcliffs hate for Edgar started the first time they ever met, as he was richer and from a
better ethnic race, as he was a blue eyed blond guy, who was better good looking than him,
besides that Catherine was so interested in him, and also so amused by him.
Heathcliffs revenge was never achieved, he was always looking for more and more, when he
finally gets the power over Wuthering Heights in order to take revenge for Hindley, he keeps
treating him harshly until he died, and then, he starts planning revenge on the Lintons, after he
was beaten by Edgar () My master jumped up and struck him in the throat() ; after that
moment he swears that he would return to talk with Catherine secretly () I must have a
promise from you that youll arrange for me to see her. Agree or refuse, I will see her! (), and
take revenge against Edgar, but as a consequence of their fight, Catherine dies. So he realizes
that the best way to take revenge on Edgar, was by making his daughter serve him as the servant
he used to be in Wuthering Heights when he was a kid, and taking Thrushcross Grange away
from the Linton family.
Then, he marries Isabella Linton by deceiving her, as part of his revenge. When she realizes the
mistake she did, she escapes. And twelve years later, she dies, and Edgar takes the little Linton,
to the Thrushcross Grange with him, but Heathcliff claims the ownership of the kid, when he
does this, he decides to raise the children like a gentleman, but with the purpose that he would
fall in love with Catherine Linton, and then take all the money from the Lintons when they got
married. As the little Linton grew up older full of fear, sorrow and hatred, when he met Cathy
again, after some years, he started a crush on her. At first, Heathcliffs plans to conquer
Thrushcross Grange were working perfectly, until his son, became more ill than before, and
started being a douche with Cathy, so she decided to stop hanging out with him, but when
Heathcliff realized this, he deceived Cathy, so as she was nice girl, she hanged out with Linton,
but, then she was kidnapped by Heathcliff, who forced them to marry, this, made Edgar die from
the illness, and the sorrow, but at least, Cathy could bid farewell to his father. When Linton
Heathcliff dies, it was already too late; Thrushcross Grange was already from him.
Maybe his revenge was complete, maybe he had accomplished what he wanted, become the
master of Wuthering Heights and the Thrushcross Grange, but, he had spent so many years, so
many efforts into completing his goals, that he was not happy, he kept being the same angry
man, he also felt guiltiness for the Catherine Earnshaw, as he was surprised and excited when
Mr. Lockwood told that there was a phantom in the room he was sleeping; this means that even
though he had achieved his revenge he needed more, but what he didnt realized is that he didnt
need more revenge or hate, he needed love, it was already too late for him, as he was already
mad, and then he died.
After all the struggles, all the hate, and sorrow, finally, what really won, was love, because,
finally Hareton and Cathy, got together, which represented the original love between Catherine
Earnshaw and Heathcliff, but this time, there was no one that could stop this love. What the story
of Wuthering Heights shows us, is that evil, has an end, it will start to grow and grow, until it
consumes itself, that was what happened to Heathcliff, but instead, love, doesnt have an end,
because the love that once existed between Heathcliff and Cahty Earnshaw, was then inherted by
Hareton and Cathy Linton, and that love would grow, until they marry, then, until they got kids,
and they would cherish their happiness in the large lands that once were owned by the evil
Heathcliff, but then, inherted by the love of Cathy, and Hareton.
