Heathcliff

Basically, the whole book of Wuthering Heights centers around Heathcliff. You can tell he is somewhat of an odd and possibly evil character from the first time we are introduced to him. He is said to have "black eyes", with a suspicious look about him. Heathcliff seems to have a very vengeful drive throughout the book, with most of the plot rotating around his desire for vengeance. Where I am in the novel, I am having a very difficult time understanding this character. It almost seems as if beneath his rough and brooding exterior lies some type of good, wanting to do what's right, being some type of romantic hero. I wonder how much more of his violence and malintent I can take before any hope for good is erased from his character.
