The conflict is the problem facing the Characters in the story. In Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, the conflict starts between Heathcliff and Catherine. They both love each other, but Catherine marries another man. Therefore, Heathcliff seeks revenge on those who tore the lovers apart. Thus, the conflict is made between Heathcliff and the ones who hurt him. The conflict is external because the main character is being effected by outside forces. The conflict is between Heathcliff and Hindley Earnshaw and Edgar Linton. Both of those men did not want Catherine to be with Heathcliff. Hindley made her learn different values when she hurt her ankle and was forced to stay inside. Linton, married her and ended Heathcliff's chances with being happy with her. Hence, Heathcliff seeks cruel revenge on the ones who tried to mess up his already hard life.
The climax is the highest point of action in a novel. I believe the climax was when Catherine died during birth. When she died, Heathcliff lost his reason for revenge, but he still seeked it. When she died the story became less determined by Heathcliff to get her back, and more determined to just make Edgar Linton and Hindley Earnshaw's lives miserable.
