Despite the era she lives is, she does not care about certain things. For example, Cathy decides to talk to the servants because they are people rather than ignoring them because she is above them socially

Cathrine has a tendency to say things without understanding how it will affect those around her. For example when she confides in Nelly about her feelings towards Heathcliff, she says she couldn’t marry him because it would be marrying down. This obviously hurt Heathcliff who in turn left Wuthering Heights

Starting from the beginning of the book, he is jealous of Heathcliff. This ties into his relationship with his father. Hindley treats Heathcliff life a servant...this is the start of the hatred between the two.

Lockwood is told the history of Wuthering Heights through Nelly. It is important to note that Nelly’s  proven loyalty to the Earnshaw’s and love for Catherine significantly influences how she portrays (ergo Lockwood portrays) the events and people that characterize the novel.

Lockwood demonstrates a lack of self awareness which permeates his actions. When first arriving at Wuthering heights he is unable to see how he is intruding, he also makes plainly untrue narcissistic statements about his abilities.

I think that Isabella is timid because she has nobody once she moves to Wuthering Heights. It is clear that she is alone when she writes to Nelly about Healthcliff’s and Hindley’s big fight. She begs for Nelly to come visit her because she has no one left to turn to. Edgar disowns her and Healthcliff verbally abuses her.

Finally, this all changes when she visits the Grange. She insults Edgar, throws her wedding ring on the floor, and leaves for London.

Catherine was neglected as a child, which meant that her physical and emotional needs were not met, so she is traumatized from her childhood. She has a fear of abandonment and is emotionally and behaviorally unstable.

# data[].attributes.body
She is head-over-heels for Heathcliff, which eventually leads to her being imprisoned and used by Heathcliff. Heathcliff ended up pursuing her only for her ties to wealth and nothing more, while Isabella is being led on. Heathcliff managed very easily to sway her to run away by only using a few words and a kiss. Isabella didn't even notice that he strung up her pet dog.

Nelly dedicated her life to serving, as was common in the Victorian times. Before she even lived at Wuthering Heights, she was “almost always at Wuthering Heights” (for both play and work purposes) and her family had long been servants of the household. Thus, even after Hindley’s cruel mistreatment of Nelly, she “wept as for a blood relation.” Her greift is driven by her loyalty, as well as her sympathetic  and forgiving nature.

"My little mistress behaves like an angle. In coming to wait on me and cheer my solitude. The confinement brought me exceedingly low" (Bronte 235).

Edgar serves as an opposite to Heathcliff. Where Heathcliff is described to have a more dark / brooding character, Edgar is said to be a softer, more well-manered person. Even after being angered and provoked by Heathcliff, Edgar still maintains a calm and polite manner. "Edgar did not mean to entertain him with any flights of passion ... 'I've been so far forbearing with you sir,' he said quietly." (Bronte 93)

Lockwood is very structured and cares about how he is presented. He cares about his vanity allot and therefore how others view him. This attribute leads him to judge others unstructured and misunderstood environments. This occurs when he first arrives to Wuthering heights and continuous throughout the text.

She doesn’t want to be poor and often acts likes she’s better than Heathcliff. That is why she chooses to be with Edgar over Heathcliff because of that idea that she is in a higher social class than him.

After his wife died giving birth to his son, Hindley became depressed. This triggered his gambling and alcohol addiction. This not only affects himself but the other characters because he starts to abuse them. For example his son.

# data[].attributes.body
Heathcliff is portrayed as Edgar’s nemesis and the root of his jealousy. Edgar, rightfully so, is worried that Catherine loves Heathcliff more than him, so to try to get an answer once and for all, he gives Catherine an ultimatum. This shows that he is insecure about where he stands with Catherine.

She wants to be with Heathcliff because she loves him but has to think about her social ambition.

“‘I can’t read it.’...Linton giggled - the first appearance of mirth he had exhibited”(Pg. 189).

The fact that this is the first time Linton showed any kind of positive emotion, but at the lack of knowledge at another, demonstrates his snobby attitude and the value he gives to being superior in some area over others.

“After Mr. Lockwood returns to Wuthering Heights, he asks Nelly to tell him the story of the place. Here, Nelly begins the story with an account of her connection to the Earnshaw and Linton families”. Nelly has the inside scoop on the drama between both the Linton and Earnshaw families because she is trusted by both families. This of course is why, even though biased, she is a great and entertaining narrator. Having been part of both houses she knows a lot and talks to almost every character in the story. Her opinions are based off what’s she’s heard but she tells her information to anyone who will listen.

Nelly almost seems too dependent on Catherine when she describes how their time together was “the happiest of my life.” Following Catherine’s death, Nelly only begins to experience happiness again when living at Thrushcross Grange and helping to raise young Catherine. It is tragic how much of her happiness depends on those surrounding her, given they never viewed Nelly as an equal. However, the strength of Nelly’s emotions speak to her maternal character.

Cathrine throughout the story is characterized as a stubborn and unruly young woman who has the mindset of ‘my way or the highway’. this comes to light when talking to Nelly about who she would marry. Even though Nelly disagrees with Cathrine on who she should marry, she goes ahead with it anyways and marries Edgar.

Isabella "Lay screaming at the farther end of the room, shrieking as if witches were running red-hot needles into her."
She was screaming because SHE couldn't have the puppy, and wasn't really getting her way.
The story also tells us that Isabella is rich and pretty and not much else
She also then goes after Catherine's husband since she want's him and therefor she shall have him. She actually has a Tantrum because 'someone else has something she want's', even though that something is someone else's husband.

Heathcliff is bitter at his constant rejection and scorn. When he is younger, Hindley and Catherine treat him as an outsider. As they get older, he and Catherine fall in love. Hindley still treats him as an outsider. Catherine marries Edgar because marrying Heathcliff would be marrying down, which makes him even more bitter.

Heathcliff said “The curate should have his - teeth dashed down his - throat, if he stepped over the threshold” so Hareton was not able to learn “to read and write” (pg. 110)

Edgar knew Catherine loved Heathcliff and that she continued seeing him regardless of his own wishes. Despite this, Edgar continually forgave her. He loved her even if she didn’t love him.

Beyond being dependent on her charges, Nelly’s entire identity is her work. Similar to the maids in The Help, it was near impossible for her to have any time to herself. The lack of family stripped Nelly of her individuality as well. For example, Nelly was distraught when she fell ill, likening it to “a calamity never experienced prior to that period” because she could not be “attending to my duties.”

Hareton has a kind heart despite his rough exterior. "Hareton, recovering from his disgust at being taken for a servant, seemed moved by her distress..." (196).

When Heathcliff’s son is old enough, he practically forces his son and Catherine’s daughter tk get married. There is no love between them, they only married because Heathcliff forced them to.

Catherine us constantly looking after her family members, even when they are being difficult. She insists on helping Linton when Mrs. Dean tells her to give up.
“I’m a woman—and I’m certain Linton would recover quickly if he had me to look after him—I’m older than he is, you know, wiser, less childish, am I not?” (Bronte 234)

Lockwood is completely out of his element in Wuthering Heights. He misreads his surrounding many times and when he meets Hareton and Cathy he makes many untrue assumptions. He is also a domesticated gentleman who is not prepared for the unruly ways of Wuthering heights.

# data[].attributes.body
He overheard Catherine saying that she could never marry him, but he didn’t hear her say that she would always love him. After he heard what he heard he left. He left because he thought the woman he loved didn’t love him back. He has carried this pain throughout his life, and it has turned him bitter.

# data[].attributes.body
As obvious as Edgar’s disliking of Heathcliff is, he never truly stands up against Heathcliff or for himself. He openly shows his fear of fighting Heathcliff and allows Catherine to taunt him for him. Edgar’s weakness most likely stems from hims spoiled childhood that left him somewhat incapable to helping himself.

“You teach me now how cruel you’ve been—cruel and false. Why did you despise me? Why did you betray your own heart, Cathy? I have not one word of comfort.”
When Heathcliff doesn’t get his way he throws a fit. He leaves when he finds out Catherine won’t marry him, and when he returns he starts making everyones lives miserable. He tears Catherine apart with doubts and internsl conflict. He forces his son to marry who he choses.

In spite of his unhealthy upbringing, Hareton has more potential than he appears to. "Still, I thought I could detect in his physiognomy a mind owning better qualities than his father ever possessed. Good things lost amid a wilderness of weeds, to be sure, whose rankness far over-topped their negative growth... evidence of a wealthy soil that might yield luxuriant crops, under other and favorable circumstances" (196). Judging him based off his appearance alone, one fails to recognize the good person his is inside.

After Linton has a tantrum, Cathy can still see the good in him. She even chooses to help him instead of give up.
“He’s good and patient, now—He’s beginning to think I shall have far greater misery than he will, tonight, if I believe that he is worse for my visit...” (Bronte 233)

Cruel- “sang Linton, sinking into the recess of his chair, and leaning back his head to enjoy the agitation of the other disputant”(Pg. 205). Linton acts in an akin to a cruel manner in some points of the novel. It appears that the suffering he has experienced, is what he wants other to experience also to almost understand him.

“The youth grew crimson, and clenched his fist with every appearance of a meditated assault... My name is Hareton Earnshaw,’ growled the other,’ and I’d counsel you to respect it!” (Pg. 14)

Many of her actions are caused by her curiosity and child-like nature. She often wanted to explore the world besides just inside her house

A time that blatenly shows her being a child at heart was when she, "amused herself with dancing to and fro" (Bronte 232). This shows how she does not care about other people's opinions and just wants to do what makes her happy

# data[].attributes.body
Catherine shows great feelings of sympathy when they are in trouble or hurting. For example when she helps nurse Linton when he is dying. Another example is when she helps teach Hareton how to read. Her compassion is in no way similar to her mothers traits of being obsessive.

As the daughter of Edgar Linton and Catherine Earnshaw, she mirrors some of the same characteristics as her mother. She constantly seeks adventure outside of the Grange and would make up her own fantasies when she is playing or exploring, including the time she imagines being a merchant riding across the Arabian Desert, which is her imagining of the moors.
