An examination of human degradation
"My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself.

"My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it. My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods, time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath, a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being."
Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw-Linton are extremely selfish and overly dramatic individuals, but there's something very beautiful about their infatuated love. The characters are flawed; you hate all of them at some point, but you also understand what made them that way to begin with. This is a tragic story, filled with suffering, revenge, and death. It did provide some hopeful and compassionate moments though, especially towards the end.
