5.0

Despite (or perhaps because of) having deeply unlikeable characters, it's a masterpiece of psychological complexity and passionate storytelling.

Minor: Animal cruelty

The story deals with themes of revenge across generations, featuring the death of several main characters including Catherine. The abuse cycles through the generations, with Heathcliff becoming an abuser after being abused himself. The ending suggests hope for the younger generation despite the darkness that came before.
