Love and Revenge

Wuthering Heights reveals the fine line between love and revenge. Heathcliff's relationship with Cathy goes back and forth on the surface, but does Heathcliff ever stop loving her? With love that deep it is hard to fluctuate between the two. When he is hurting, he seeks revenge, but he still loves Cathy. Love does not die with revenge; in fact it shows how strong the relationship is. One must care for a person an incredible amount to want revenge because revenge means he was damaged. When Heathcliff realizes Cathy has chosen to love Linton, he tries to break her as much as he broke by "loving" Isabella. He wants Cathy to understand the heartbreak she put him through. Their relationship continues to teeter while also growing because love can stand on its own, but revenge requires love.
