As soon as you bee Mrs. Linton, he loses friend, and love, and all! Have you considered how you39。ll bear the separation and how he39。ll bear to be quite deserted in the world. (Emily Bronte, 1994:80) Manifestation of HeathclifF39。s Demonization No one is a villain by birth, Heathcliff is not an exception. As to Heathcliff, not a day passes but Heathcliff feels repressed from his childhood to his death, so he wants to take revenge on whoever has hurt him and on whatever has prevented him from making his dream e true. After his passion for revenge is fulfilled. his personality is changed and he is sorry for his sins against both the living and the dead. His revenge makes him a demon, with ponents villain: However, his rebellion against the society to realize his dream of happiness and freedom makes him a hero. The reader may easily sympathize with him when he is powerless, as a child tyrannized by Hindley Earnshaw, but he bees a villain when he acquires power and returns to Wuthering Heights with money and the trappings of a gentleman. Nelly Dean describes him as athletic when he returns. No hints are given about where Heathcliff was and how he made his fortune during his threeyear absence. But he has bee a rich and educated gentleman already. The impulse to revenge himself on all those he regards as having wronged him bees his overpowering passion. He is ruthlessly determined to destroy those who degraded him and prevented him fromAfter Catherine39。s death, Heathcliffs vindictive cruelty intensifies. He aims at avenging not only his enemies but J also their heirs. Hareton, son of Hindley, and Cathy, daughter of Edgar Lipton and Catherine. He turns his attention to Hareton, We39。ll see if one tree won39。t grow as crooked as another with the same wind to twist it. (Emily Bronte, :164). Heathcliff first mistreats Hareton, as he has been done by Hindley. Hareton lives in Wuthering Heights as a servant, deprived of education and wage. Heathcliff corrupts Harefon39。s spirit by telling him something ridiculous, rude and worthless. Then Hareton bees a brutal and ignorant guy. He also trained Hareton to utter vulgar and impolite word。 leaving him in the state of darkness and fatuity. Inaddition, Heathcliff forces his sickly son, Lipton, who entirely resembles his mother Isabella, to marry the daughter of Catherine and Edgar, Catherine Lipton regardless of his son39。s illness and death, in a bid to gain ownership of Thrushcross Grange, which speeds up the death of Edgar. Shortly after the two are married in their nearly loveless match, Heathcliff treats Catherine with relative mercy, turning her into a cold, , far removed from the bright, lively girl she used to be. By taking possession of both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, Heathcliff succeeds .in taking his revenge to his enemies and bees the richest person. Eventually, Hareton and Cathy fall in love, however, and their relationship in some ways mirrors that between Heathcliff and Catherine. Their union breaks the cycle of hatred at Wuthering Heights. Hareton, resembling his aunt Catherine Earnshaw much in looks, creates a sense of uneasiness for Heathcliff The novel ends with the death of Heathcliff, who has bee a broken, tormented man, haunted by the ghost of the elder Catherine: He Heathcliff grows restless towards the very end of the novel and stops eating. He wanted to be with Catherine in eternal life. He doesn39。t feel happy or satisfied after carrying out those merciless plans of revenge. Actually, the demonic nature of Heathcliff lies not only in his savage actions towards the victims of his revenge, but also in the wide range of his victims. Heathcliff39。s revenge starts with a sense of righteous indignation, but it acts on him like a drug and he needs more and more to give him the same gratification. As he says: I have no pity! I have no pity! The more the worms writhe, the more I yearn to crush out their entrails! It is a moral teething。 and I grind with greater energy, in proportion to the increase of pain!(Emily Bronte, 1994:137) Heathcliffs wretched plight pels him to change his status, but in that hierarchical society, he can only resort to the extreme ways. He repeatedly goes to extraordinary lengths in order to change reality so that it will conform to his wishes, and he manages to change the facts of life and death, and make them conform to his desires (Marsh, 1999: 50). In all, Heathcliff is a many faced character, in his early years, he is characterized by his sullenness, his proud nature, his fiery temper, his fierce attachment to Catherine and his spitefulness. But returning to Wuthering Heights after a three year absence。 Heathcliff bees a superhuman villain driven by revenge, distorted by the wrongs done to him and made emotionally unstable by Catherine39。s marriage. This later Heathcliff is characterized by his incapacity to love and eventually by an all consuming passion for revenge against those who have wronged him and for unification with his beloved Catherine. As Charlotte Bronte wrote, Heathcliff, in deed, stands unredeemed(Emily Bronte, 1994:16), which adds to the uncertainty over whether he not only repented for his sins but was actually a real human being after all. The uncertain fate of Heathcliff s soul and the mystery that Heathciiff s character leaves behind, end the novel in a mesmerizing way, justifying Heathcliffs enduring status as an iconic antihero of literature. 5.
