is the saga of two families and their doomed romantic intermingling. In the movie Return of the Native, there were similar situations where amorous endeavors are star-crossed. The characters, distracted by feelings of love, by their expectations of people, and by the simple fact that they are dreamers, were disillusioned when they are finally faced with reality.

Marilyn French, an American author and critic, once said, "Well, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can't even think straight. " Love has this incredible power and is possibly one of the most powerful

the way things really are. These idealists are forced out of their dream world into the cold, hard truth, and that is their bitter disillusionment.

Eustacia Vye in Return of the Native was the most impossible dreamer of them all. She dreamt only of going to Paris for a very long time. She was so smitten with the idea of going to Paris, she would stop at nothing to get to go. When she learned that Clym Yeobright was a bachelor returning to the heath from Paris, she convenient planted herself in his path in hopes that he might fall in love with her. Fall he did. Clym was hypnotized by his love for Eustacia. She was convinced that one day, he

Love has an unexplainable power. It makes people believe only what they wish to believe. Clym and Edgar were both able to have a life after love, but for Isabella, there was nothing left for her besides having a child after the realization that love was not what she had expected. Love can be a wonderful thing in a person's life, but as many characters have learned, love can pull a can pull the wool over one's eyes and leave them a bitter shell of the person they once were.

straw was when Clym took a job reaping shrubbery. It was clear to her that she would never leave the heath with Clym, so she conspired with Damon to run away to Paris. Eustacia never made it to Paris, however. She drowned in the river just before her rendezvous with Damon. Her dream of getting to France was not realized, instead she was slowly disenchanted, and trapped in an uncaptivating, common prison she created for herself.

Catherine was madly in love with Heathcliff, but their romance was never practical, therefore she never pursued it. Despite being in love with Heathcliff she married Edgar, elevating her social standing. Edgar was madly in love with Catherine, which made him overlook their incompatible natures. Edgar's love for Catherine led him to ignore the facts that Catherine did not love him and that the two were completely unsuitable for each other: this was his illusion.
