The same night he sees Cathy and Hareton both remind him of Catherine.All these reminders of Catherine torment him and he admits to Nelly that he no longer much cares about taking out his revenge on Cathy and Hareton.
Analysis:

Being haunted by Catherine torments Heathcliffbut it also what he always wanted , so the reader lacks sympathy for him . Because Heathcliff no longer feels the need for vengence breaking the cycleof revengeallowing Cathy and Hareton to live in peace.
