Juliette Binoche as Catherine Earnshaw and Catherine Linton.Theirs is the happy romantic ending that Heathcliff and Catherine are denied, except after death, walking as ghosts together on the moors. The story then follows how her daughter with Linton, and his son with Linton's sister – who Heathcliff tricks into marrying him and then treats with great cruelty – fall in love. Ultimately Catherine dies and a devastated Heathcliff begs her to haunt him as a ghost. Heathcliff and Catherine's love is painted in intense Romantic tones in contrast to the superficial artifice and shallow feeling of high society as represented by the Lintons. The story tracks the story of Healthcliff's and Catherine's fierce love and Heathcliff's rage, pain, jealousy and vengeance that he pitilessly enacts on the man that gets in the way of his marrying her, Edgar Linton. When her father dies, Catherine's biological brother, jealous that Heathcliff was their father's favorite, treats Heathcliff as a servant and has him beaten. The story is that of the fierce passionate love between the moor-loving, wild girl Catherine Earnshaw and the poor equally wild spirit her father takes in to be raised as her brother, Heathcliff.
