As the narrative unfolds through the eyes of Mr. Lockwood, a newcomer to the Yorkshire estate, and his housekeeper, Nelly Dean, the intricate web of relationships and the bitter feud between the Earnshaws and Lintons come to light. Catherine's untimely death sets in motion a series of tragic events that reverberate through generations, as Heathcliff exacts a chilling revenge against those who wronged him.
