Heathcliff, a gypsy orphan picked up from the street by Mr. Earnshaw, has been abused since childhood, but Catherine, the host's daughter, admires his wildness. As a teenager, Heathcliff ( Tom Hardy ) develops a strong love for Katherine ( Charlotte Riley ). But worldly hierarchies destroyed his love. Catherine is married to Lord Linton ( Andrew Clutterbuck Andrew Lincoln) of Thrush Manor. Heathcliff's intense love turned into an intense hatred of the outside world, which in turn turned into a ruthless revenge conspiracy. All love, all hatred, finally turned into a howling wind, passing over the lonely grave, blowing across the desolate wilderness.

Cathy: [contemplative, facing the fireplace, upon hearing someone walk in] If that's you, Nellie, then I am sorry for scolding you. I wish now that you had stayed.
Heathcliff: [walking up to Cathy] It is not Nellie, it is I.
[while Cathy still refuses to look into his eyes]
Heathcliff: Why, Cathy, what is it? What's the matter?
Cathy: [finally looking up and at him, solemnly] Edgar Linton has asked me to marry him.
Heathcliff: [searching Cathy's eyes] And, have you given him your answer?
[Cathy nods negatively]
Heathcliff: But you did not say no!
[Cathy nods negatively, again]
Heathcliff: And have you considered how you will bear the separation from me, and how I would be quite deserted in the world without you?
[pauses for a moment]
Heathcliff: Did you consider that?
Cathy: You quite deserted! We separated! Who is to separate us, pray?
Heathcliff: [stressing his each word] You would be Mrs. Linton.
Cathy: Yes. As Mrs. Linton I can aid you to rise and place you out of my brother's power.
Heathcliff: [with controlled indignation] With your husband's money you'll rescue me...
[walking away from Cathy towards the door, and then turning back]
Heathcliff: Do you think I can endure such a thing?
[Cathy rushes to Heathcliff, attempts to kiss him]
Heathcliff: [holding Cathy back, accentuating each word, with loathing] You will be Mrs. Linton.

Heathcliff: [bending over Cathy's coffin] You said I'd killed you... Haunt me then... Be with me always... Take any form, drive me mad but don't leave me. In this abyss where I cannot find you... I cannot live without my life, I cannot live without my soul...
