("The Rashomon" -> "Unreliable Narrator", since there's only one version of the story; added the rest of the media-by-decade categories)
Line 83:
* [[Pyrrhic Villainy]]: {{spoiler|After Heathcliff's rivals have all died and he's ruined his and their children's lives, he finds he has no satisfaction.}}
* [[Pick on Someone Your Own Size]]: Heathcliff directs his revenge against the children of his enemies.
* [[The Rashomon]]: The unreliable Nelly Dean tells most of the story to the equally unreliable (not to mention thick-skulled) Lockwood.
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Mr. Lockwood refuses to be Cathy's [[Knight in Shining Armor]], rescue the [[Damsel in Distress]], and live [[Happily Ever After]] with her.
* [[Rescue Romance]]: Deliberately averted -- Nelly hoped Lockwood or some other gallant rich man would save Cathy (II) from Heathcliff by marrying her.
Line 103 ⟶ 102:
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Heathcliff is a [[Deconstruction]], lacking the heart of gold and being "redeemed by the love of a good woman" typically associated with the character.
* [[Together in Death]]: The aforementioned [[Bittersweet Ending]] implies that Heathcliff and Catherine are reunited as ghosts after death.
* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: The unreliable Nelly Dean tells most of the story to the equally unreliable (not to mention thick-skulled) Lockwood. Nelly is clearly prejudiced and demonstrates a surprising lack of empathy for most of the central characters, this bias being reflected in her account of the events.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Heathcliff
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|Heathcliff after he notices Cathy (II) and Hareton falling in love}}.
