Interestingly, in this novel, the theme of revenge returns to the character who wants to

take revenge. In other words, in Arabic, we say: the one who digs a hole for his

brother eventually will fall into it. The same happens in Wuthering Height, and the

result is a series of revenge that repeats itself at the end of the day. For example,

Hindley takes revenge on Heathcliff for replacing him at Wuthering Height, which

ended by depriving Heathcliff of the right of being educated. It also results in

separating Catherine from Heathcliff. However, Hindley's revenge returns when

Heathcliff deprives Hindley of Wuthering Height and deprives his son, Hareton, of

the right of education. In the end, we can see that it is quite obvious that only when

Heathcliff quits to take revenge, he can reunite again with his beloved Catherine in

death. At the same time, he allows Hareton and Cathy to reunite again, love each

other, and get married.
