When Heathcliff decides he is going to take revenge on anyone and everyone who have done him wrong, it is an unanswerable question as to why exactly he decides to embark on such horrible deeds. His cold are heartless self was made know especially through the abuse of Isabella as he amused himself by seeing how much abuse she could take and still come crawling back for more. The desire to understand him and his motivations are what keep readers engaged in the novel. Although Heathcliff is made out to be a vengeful, dark character, the novel teases you and makes you wonder if Heathcliff is something other than he seems. Perhaps his cruelty is an illustration of his frustration towards the love he acquires for Catherine. Heathcliff is not the typical, traditional romantic hero. He is a character that stays true to his word and attitude and has seemingly dominant ability to hold grudges.
