The main character was Heathcliff. He lived in the gloomy house of Wuthering Heights. He was the landlord of Lockwood as well. He has dark eyes and dark skin like a "gypsy". He was adopted by Mr. Earnshaw and raised by him as well. He was in love with Catherine Earnshaw. Her brother Hindley did not like him very much. Hindley did not want Catherine to love Heathcliff. Therefore, he tried to keep them apart, and it worked. Heathcliff grew bitter as the they could not be together. Catherine married Linton and Heathcliff turned angry. He was so consumed by his emotions he sought revenge on all those who sabotaged his relationship with Catherine. He did not realize that getting revenge on all of those people did not help him live easier.
Catherine grew up with Heathcliff. They were inseparable when they were young, and they fell i love. However, Catherine injured her ankle one day, and had to stay inside while being taught things a proper lady should know. When she learned all these new rules to life, she sought a husband of higher class then Heathcliff. She married Edgar Linton. He was much more classier then Heathcliff in Catherine's eyes. She still loves Heathcliff and is rather emotional about it. She often seems torn between the two men she is conflicted with. Her short life come to an end when she gives birth to her daughter, Catherine Linton.
