I think Meyer was only making a comparison between Heathcliff and Edward. And there is to a certain extend, a valid comparison. Both were consumed with controlling and domineering a certain woman. Both despised anybody who was even slightly attracted to said woman. Since Edward's a vampire, he's supposed to be soulless. Heathcliff becomes soulless when he loses Cathy. Edward admits to having an evil and corrupt monster living inside him. Heathcliff is an evil and corrupt monster. Edward did love his family members in his way - but he only truly loved Bella. Nothing really mattered but Bella. Nothing mattered to Heathcliff either, except for Cathy. The differences are that Heathcliff occasionally treated Cathy horridly - although he loved her. But he was reacting to the times when Cathy had treated him horridly. Heathcliff and Cathy really treated each other horridly for lovers.
