Wuthering Heights

The prodigal son returns to the family homestead bent on siezing control from the relatives that treated him poorly as a youth.

A wayward son comes back to his family's property determined to take power away from the relatives who mistreated him when he was young.

All the elements of this literary masterpiece are here, beginning with Heathcliff's arrival at Wuthering Heights and the disruption he causes. Catherine soon forms a passionate attachment for the boy, which continues until she dies, even though she marries a neighbor, Edgar Linton. Heathcliff ultimately marries Linton's sister, and the gothic drama moves on to involve the next generation: Heathcliff's sickly son and Catherine's daughter and nephew.
