Heathcliff is brought back to Wuthering Heights as a foundling and raised alongside Catherine Earnshaw. Her decision to marry Edgar Linton instead sets off a campaign of revenge that Heathcliff pursues across two generations and two families.

Brontë tells it at two removes, through the tenant Lockwood and the housekeeper Nelly Dean, so the reader is always hearing the story from someone with reasons of their own. The result was considered brutal when it appeared in 1847.

How the nested narration through Lockwood and Nelly Dean colours everything the reader is told.
Why Catherine’s “I am Heathcliff” is not a romantic declaration so much as a statement of identity.
How Heathcliff’s revenge is executed through property and marriage rather than violence.
What the second generation is for, and why the novel does not end with Catherine’s death.
How the two houses, the Heights and the Grange, stand for two ways of living.
Why readers in 1847 found the book shocking, and what still resists sentimentality in it.
