Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, displays redemption and reconciliation in its final moments by giving its characters a much-needed circle. The main character Heathcliff spends most of his time in the novel being obsessed with Catherine and ideas of revenge. His death marks the end of his pain and suffering in the dark and complex world of the novel. In his final moments, he expresses a sense of peace and fulfillment, stating that he views death as a reunion with Catherine, which he so longed for throughout his life.

Cathy Linton and Hareton Earnshaw, who were both victims of Heathcliff’s vengeance, end up forming a loving relationship and plan to marry, uniting the two families. This represents an end to the cycle of abuse and a chance for a fresh start.

Also, the end of the novel on a supernatural note, with the child suggesting he saw the ghosts of Catherine and Heathcliff roaming in the moors, symbolizes that their tortured souls have found peace and tranquility after death if not in life. After all, death in literature and popular culture or myths has been seen as the end of all kinds of suffering.
