This is a
story about two who love each other intensely but never get one another—and
therefore it turns into a story of vindictive revenge.
The story
narrates the life of Heathcliff, a mysterious and dark man, from his youth
until he is about 30 years of age.
Heathcliff
is adopted into a good house but is considered no higher than a servant. He
runs away, and, about the same time, the girl he loves marries another man.
He later
returns, wealthy, well educated and set on inflicting revenge on those he
believes have destroyed his life.
