Heathcliff
"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same, and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire...My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I have watched and felt each from the beginning; my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished, and he remained, I should continue to be; and, if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the Universe would turn to a mighty stranger. I should not seem a part of it. My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods. Time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees - my love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rock beneath - a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff."
To all who read Wuthering Heights, to have this one quote summarise the 337 pages.
I am Heathcliff.
