|
When Isabella dies in London, a very sick Linton comes to live with his father, Heathcliff, at Wuthering Heights. Young Catherine and Linton begin a secret romance. |
|
|
The romance turns out to be false. Heathcliff has forced Linton into the relationship, hoping he'll marry young Catherine. Heathcliff wants to get access to Thrushcross Grange through the marriage as his final revenge on the ailing Edgar Linton. When Linton is near death, Heathcliff holds Catherine prisoner until she agrees to marry Linton. After the marriage, both Edgar and Linton die, and Heathcliff inherits the Grange. He then forces Catherine to be his servant at Wuthering Heights and rents out Thrushcross Grange to Mr. Lockwood. |
|
|
When Nelly finishes telling Heathcliff's story, Mr. Lockwood is shocked and immediately leaves the Grange. He returns six months later to visit Nelly and hear news of Wuthering Heights. He learns that Heathcliff became so obsessed with the older Catherine's ghost that he lost his mind. He died after spending a night walking on the moors. Hareton and young Catherine inherited Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. They fell in love and planned to be married on New Year's Day. |
|
|
Lockwood takes a walk out on the moors to visit the graves of Catherine and Heathcliff. The unbreakable love that caused generations of pain was finally at rest.

結果這段戀情根本是假的。希斯克里夫逼林頓談這場戀愛,希望他娶小凱瑟琳。希斯克里夫想藉此得到畫眉山莊──作為對重病的艾德加•林頓的最後復仇。在林頓臨死時,希斯克里夫囚禁小凱瑟琳,直到她答應嫁給林頓為止。兩人結婚後,艾德加和林頓相繼過逝,希斯克里夫便繼承了山莊。接著他又逼迫小凱瑟琳到咆哮山莊當女僕,並把畫眉山莊租給羅克伍先生。 |
