In the version of "Wuthering Heights", where Heathcliff was portrayed
by Timothy Dalton, the hero's life comes to its end much earlier, about twenty years, than the author
gives him in the novel. Hotspur, hot-blooded, misunderstood for everyone except Catherine Earnshow,
Heathcliff goes out of his mind and perishes, killed by the bullet of his stepbrother Hindley, on a
day of funeral of his beloved.
Having gained the top of the hill and dismounted, this star-crossed
lover can't endure the memories of the past, which filled his mind here, in the place of his
children's games and lover's trysts with the one and only woman for whom it was only need to live -
Cathy's ghost suddenly appears nearby him and takes him away.
If to look at the events of this scene from the point of view of our
Calendar, that the Horse, the witness of our long-suffering hero's foul and fair, followed him to his
grave.
Let's wish Timothy Dalton to continue this multiyear and
successful partnership with the Horse in 2002 and always!
