I’m satisfied with the ending of the book, because I love the way the book ends. Catherine and heathcliff both end up dead at the end, and I like the fact that the two main characters die at the end. Throughout the book heathcliff changed so much. He is the most dynamic character in the novel. Heathcliff at the beginning of the book was innocent and was the one being tortured. Then he disappeared for about 3 years and became mean. He wanted revenge and to torture the people who caused him grief before. He also became very wealthy and powerful but his love for Catherine stayed the same. The themes of the books are universal, because revenge and love are common themes in every novel. The love between heathcliff and Catherine did not die even after their death, because heathcliff still believed her spirit was around and he still feels her and wanted to be buried next to her. He expresses her absence by saying: “In every cloud, in every tree—filling the air at night, and caught by glimpses in every object by day, I am surrounded with her image!”(Bronte, Wuthering Heights chapter 23). He says that even though he lost her, every sign and thing in the world reminds him of her.There intense love led to the revenge and rage heathcliff felt. My final thoughts about the novel are simple. Heathcliff and Catherine both died and that was a nice ending because heathcliff died because he was just sad and lived in pain and Catherine fell ill because of all the problems and the very idea that she will never be with heathcliff again, even though they are in love. “I got the sexton, who was digging Linton’s grave, to remove the earth off her coffin lid, and I opened it. I thought, once, I would have stayed there, when I saw her face again” (Bronte, Wuthering heights chapter 29). Heathcliff’s death was similar, since after her death he became ill and died.
