Heathcliff
The man in the suit represents Lockwood. He is a younger, handsome man. The maid represents Nelly. Each character works together to tell the story of Heathcliff. Nelly provides the details of the events that Lockwood missed. The puzzle pieces around her picture represent her relationships with the characters since they were children. She always seems to side with the weaker individual in the novel. Lockwood is simply a narrator that tells writes down the events and adds a little input.
Heathcliff began as a quiet boy who loved to spend time with young Catherine. As he grew older, he realized how much he loved her. When he heard Catherine tell Nelly that “It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now…,” Heathcliff ran away. He returned to the region with vengeance in his heart. The belief that he was robbed of Catherine's love made him cruel and selfish. He wanted to get even with all the people who he believed kept him from being with his beloved Catherine. The concept of love ate away at Heathcliff's soul, and it slowly destroyed him after Catherine's death.
“Oh, Cathy! Oh, my life! how can I bear it?”
“…settle my score with Hindley; and then prevent the law by doing execution on myself…Your welcome has put these ideas out of my mind.”
Catherine
“You and Edgar have broken my heart...You have killed me...”
Catherine was a selfish girl who could not choose between the two men who loved her. She became sick after those two men fought, and the stress from her broken heart caused her health to slowly fade away. Her declining heath led to her eventual death. It is reasonable to believe that love was her cause-of-death.
