The story of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights revolves around the passion that Catherine and Heathcliff felt for each other. These passions run extremely deep and intense. These passions are normal, everyday ones – love, hate, affection, contempt and revenge. These depicted wild, untamable force are so violent, cruel, subjugating that more aften than not defies all order and break all barriers.
             F.H. Langman states "that the most important thing in Wuthering Heights, its central experience, is the love between Catherine and Heathcliff. What to make of it is another matter. The intensity of this particular passion which Catherine and Heathcliff display for each other goes beyond all physical and family barriers:
             She was much too fond of Heathcliff. The greatest punishment we could invert for her was to keep her separate from him, yet she got chided more than any of us on his account. (Ch.V Pg. 40)
             But in the eyes of the Lintons, Heathcliff has no right to Catherine or to the privilages of her class. He is a "gypsy", a "castaway", a "wicked boy, at all events...... quite unfit for a decent house, while Catherine is " Miss Earnshaw" and worthy of Linton respect and Linton attention.
             The intensity of feeling between Catherine and Heathclif defies family barriers imposed by Catherine's brother ,Hindley after their father's death. Heathcliff was ill-treated by Hindley after the death of the old Earnshaw:
             He drove him from their company to the servants, deprived him of the instructions of the curate ...
             He bore his degradation pretty well at first, because Cathy taught him what she learnt, and work or play with him in the fields. They both promised fair to grow up as rude as savages, the young master being entirely negligent how they behave, and what they did, so they keep clear of him...... and the after punishment grew a mere thing to laugh at.
