Firstly, Heathcliff, a dangerous character, with rapidly changing moods, capable of deep-seeded hatred, and incapable, it seems, of any kind of forgiveness or compromise is a man driven by his obsession for Catherine. We at first sympathize with him, when we see Hindley mistreating him and his undying love for Catherine and when she betrays him by choosing Edgar as a husband; we see a huge transformation in our dear Heathcliff. He leaves Wuthering Heights for years, deserting his love, and is determined to be

Edgar Linton, is a handsome," "pleasant to be with," "cheerful," and "rich." Young man who owns the elegant Thrushcross Grange. Edgar is obsessed with being respectable and is often seen as a snob. He looks down upon the wild Heathcliff and treats him like he is a peasant "the whole household need not witness the sight of you welcoming a runaway servant as a brother." He and everyone else pick up on the fact that his wife and Heathcliff have feelings for each other and become racked with jealousy. Yet this man is to weak and refined to tell Catherine that he truly loves her and that she should be faithful to him. We can see he does love her, but he has problems expressing his feelings.

She still is obsessed by her love for Heathcliff and by saying that she will never ever be separated from him. Heathcliff is seen to an outcast of society, although Catherine is obsessed with him she cannot come to marry him because she does not want to degrade her self. By marrying Linton she thinks this will raise Heathcliff in society. So she goes ahead and accepts Edgar's proposal. This quick decision is baffling, impulsive and not well thought out at all. She makes a rash decision that ends up not only affecting her life but Edgar and Heathcliff's. She spitefully ditches Heathcliff, setting up Edgar for Heathcliff's revenge. Although being married to Edgar, she still has deep love for Heathcliff, "Well, if I cannot keep Heathcliff for my friend - if Edgar will be m
