I must admit to having very little knowledge of the story before hearing this; all I had in my mind was the old image of Heathcliff and Catherine running towards each other across the moors and a song by Kate Bush.

Having finally heard this dramatization, I was rather shocked to learn what a monster Heathcliffe really was! It makes one wonder what Cathy saw in him in the first place. And for me, it adds to his despicableness that when I first heard Paul Hecht on the radio, he was playing Emperor Palpatine in "The Empire Strikes Back!"
