The themes of jealousy and vengeance dominate the plot and are the driving forces motivating Hindley and Heathcliff’s actions. It is very easy to understand how Hindley’s resentment of Heathcliff grows through their childhood. Hindley is the eldest some of Mr. Earnshaw and has lost his father to an orphaned boy, Heathcliff. Once Heathcliff becomes part of the family it is as if Hindley has lost his place and constantly directs his energy at debasing and insulting his adopted brother. After the death of Mr. Earnshaw Hindley gains ownership of the property and begins to treat Heathcliff as a servant making sure he remains uneducated and disadvantaged. What seems unreal and remains in the world of fiction is the diabolical fiend and the uncivilised brute into which Heathcliff develops. His determination to avenge himself on all those who have wronged him especially Hindley and Catherine is somewhat comprehensible; although not to the extent that he carried it out for. "I’m trying to settle how I shall pay Hindley back. I don’t care how long I wait, if I can only do it at last. I hope he will not die before I do!” He returns after three years determined to destroy Hindley and to become the wealthy owner of both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. The devious methods he uses, for instance, forcing Cathy to marry his son Linton by actually making her a prisoner, demanding her to remain in the realm of fiction. However, his attempt at treating Hindley’s son in the same way that he was treated when he was younger can be seen as an act of spiteful revenge and can be understood. The fact that the fate conspired to work against his plot is just one of the ironies of the novel.
