See, I'm more like Jane. She's never done anything wrong: why should she be punished and just sit there and take it? I would probably not have the guts to act out, but I'd desire some sort of revenge I'd never be able to wreak, and I'd be weirdly satisfied when the board of governors finally sacks Mr Brocklehurst, the hypocritical douchebag.

Heathcliff acts out over perceived insults, not actual injustices. (of course, I adore Jane Eyre and nearly everyone in it, including St John Rivers, while I hate every single character in Wuthering Heights, including the guy who is actually listening to the whole story because he cares more about these screwed up people than I do, and therefore he's a moron.)
