Interesting take on this, Joyie. I haven't ready any of the two books yet but there are hardly any spoilers considering these two books are so old now :)
Heathcliff is a very complicated character! That is what I love about him and about Bronte's talent (as compared to Jane Austen). Heathcliff is a symbol of the Irish class in England-I believe, after doing some research on Jstor-Bronte's grandfather was Irish- so the novel is also a reflection of the times. There is also a book on the Great Hunger that mentions the character of Heathcliff. Interesting stuff! Wuthering Heights will always be my favorite novel.
