Abstract	Heathcliff and Michael Henchard are the protagonists in the novels Wuthering Heights and The Mayor of Casterbridge, written in the Victorian era by Emily Brontë and Thomas Hardy. This paper sets out to juxtapose the two characters according to the notions proposed by Gajo Peleš in Tumačenje romana, namely the narrative figures of character, environment and existence, and in terms of their defiance of the Victorian norm, or the system of values stressing strong moral principles. In order to portray Heathcliff and Henchard in their full complexity and relate them to the 19th-century Victorian society as a whole, the aspects explored are their impulsive and proud nature inevitably dooming them to a tragic ending, the various societal conflicts and lack of identity they struggle with, as well as the much-discussed gender roles, justification of revenge and potential redemption. The comparison of the characters derives its importance and relevance from the fact that they represent universal, timeless concepts such as human conflicts, societal pressures, construction of identity and the need for inclusion.
