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.

Heathcliff: What's that? There's a look in your eyes. My God, I think it's guilt. You've been with him, haven't you? You've laid with Edgar, haven't you?
Cathy: He's my husband.
Heathcliff: As if your pretend marriage matters to me? How am I to look at you? How am I to touch you now that his milky feeble hands have held you as I'm holding you now, you disgust me.

Heathcliff: Going somewhere?
Cathy: Where would I go, my love? It's raining.
Heathcliff: Yet you have that silk frock on, my love.
Heathcliff: Someone coming here, perhaps?
Cathy: Perhaps.
Heathcliff: Edgar Linton?
Cathy: [freeing her head from Nellie's fussing hands] I said enough, Nellie... Let me alone!
Heathcliff: [slowly walking towards Cathy] Three months ago we lay together yet since then every evening is spent with the Lintons!
Cathy: Perhaps I find Edgar easier company. Perhaps he doesn't talk of curses and fall into a brooding silence.
Heathcliff: So you dislike my company?
Cathy: It's no company at all when people know nothing and say nothing.
Heathcliff: [hurt, and giving away as much] Yeah... There. At last you said that I am no longer worthy of you.
Heathcliff: [bitterly] I say, may you suffer for this.
Cathy: [holding back tears] So I am cursed too, am I?
Heathcliff: No, I am the one that is truly cursed. I was cursed the moment I laid eyes on you.
