DESCRIPTION:

Mistreated foundling Heathcliff and Catherine fall in love, but she marries a wealthy man, Edgar Linton so Heathcliff becomes obsessed with getting revenge. Nor can he satiate his thirst for revenge, manifested through his own loveless marriage to Edgar's sister Isabella. In this television adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, realism and gothic symbolism combine to form a romance novel that's full of social relevance. Follow the self-destructive journey of Heathcliff as he seeks revenge for losing his soul mate, Catherine, to Edgar Linton. Themes - such as good versus evil, chaos and order, selfishness, betrayal, and obsession - intertwine as the story unfolds. Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights is a symbolic and psychological study of the nature of love.
