I disagree with the previous reviewer. Yes, Heathcliff is cruel and callous, but he is not unsympathetic. He does not symbolize the devil, because the characters who say such are the characters who understand him the least i. e. Nelly Dean and Isabella. God and Satan have no place in this book. It is otherworldly, something we can not possibly hope to experience, but something we can hopefully understand.

Wuthering Heights is the dramatic tale of an otherworldly love that can find no place in proper British society. Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff are both children of Nature who revel in their own brand of freedom on the Moors. Society intervenes in the form of the Lintons who embody all that is proper and whose allure, in the form of material wealth, is too tempting for Catherine to resist.
This is a novel about trying to strike a balance. Heathcliff and Catherine find that their love cannot survive in a world that is dictated by rules and which would have them repress their passionate natures. Catherine seeks a union with society but can never be completely happy with Edgar because Heathcliff is her other half, not just her soulmate.
There were moments in this novel where I felt Heathcliff was unnecessarily cruel, but keeping in mind the ambiguity of his origins, I also found it impossible not to sympathize with him. I also felt that it was, perhaps, his inability to let go of Catherine that made it even harder for them both to forge separate existences for themselves with their respective Linton spouses.
Heathcliff's tenacious resentment does not limit itself to Edgar and Isabella. Indeed, his bitter resentment of the Lintons extends to the next generation as they are left to pick up the pieces of two shattered families and to begin again with the promise of a far more moderate and circumspect union between the Earnshaws and the Lintons.

After reading Wuthering Heights it is obvious that Catherine Earnshaw loved both men equally although in different ways. Heathcliff is her childhood lover, a love based upon pain and hurt and the denial of a mother's love. They comfort each other and they are soul mates. However, as Catherine matures, she realizes that she is not the wild child of the moors but instead she is a part of society and she must adapt to society's values. Edgar is her adult lover, and his love is necessary to help her discover her identity as a woman and as a member of society. Catherine loves both men, although she loves them in different ways.

I have recently done a research project on Emily Bronte; the time period, and her life in conjunction with the novel Wuthering Heights. I view Wuthering Heights as a wonderful publication, though not conforming to the Victorian literature of the time. Emily Bronte's characters, Heathcliff, and Catherine Earnshaw were both cold-shouldered to the rest of the world. The selfish nature of the both, made it impossible for love and true happiness to be found.
