Analysis of Major characters

Heathcliff

                   Wuthering Heights centers around the story of Heathcliff. His main character in the novel. The first paragraph of the novel provides a vivid physical of him, as Lockwood describes how his black eyes with draw suspiciously under his brows at Lockwood’s approach.

Nelly’s story being with his introduction into the Earnshaw family, his vengeful machination drives the entire plot, and his death ends the book. The whole story around him and he also main character in the book. The desire to understand him and his motivations has kept countless relaters engaged in the novel.

Heathcliff, however, defines being understood, and it is difficult for readings to resist seeing what they want or expect to see in him. The novel teases the reader with the possibility that Heathcliff is something other than what he seems-that his cruelty is morally an expression of his frustrated love for catering, or that his sinister behaviors serve to conceal the heart of a romantic hero.

It is significant that Heathcliff begins his life as a homeless orphan on the streets of Liverpool

In the book Heathcliff is like hero because he has quality like hero. He reach but more ego.

Here considering this historical context, Heathcliff seems to embody the anxieties that the book’s upper class and middle class audience had about the working classes. Written are explained some good quality his charaubre and very power full character for other.

Catherine

            Catherine main character also the location of Catherine’s coffin symbolize the conflict that tears apart her short life. she is not burled in the chapel with the lentos. Nor is her affine placed among the tombs of the Earnshaws.

Isabella Linton- Cathine’s sister-in-low and Heaheliff’s wife, who was born in the same year that Catharine was-server as Catherine’s foil. In the novel the two women’s parallel position allows us to see their differences with greater clarity.Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high.

Edgar

Just as Isabella Linton serves as Catherine’s foil,edgar Linton serves as heathelilf ‘ Edgar is born and raised a gentleman. He is graceful, well –mannered, and instilled with civilized virtues. These qualities cause Catherine to choose edger over Heathcliff and thus to initiate the contention between the men. Nevertheless, Edgar’s gentlemanly qualities ultimately ultimately prove useless in his ensuing rivalry with Heathcliff. Edgar is particularly humiliate by his confrontation with Heathcliff in chapter 12, in which he openly show his fear of fighting Heathcliff.

Charlotte Bronte, in her preface to the 1850 edition of withering heights, refers to Edgar as ‘’ an example of constancy and tenderness’’ and goes on to suggest that her sister Emily was using Edgar to point out that such characteristics constitute true vetoes in all human beings, and not yurt in woman, as society tended to believe.

      Ellen (Nelly) Dean   

       The second and primary narrator of the novel. Nelly has been a servant of each generation of both the Earnshaw and Linton families. She idea of a ‘culture versus nature’ divide in the novel she is a local of the area and a servant, and has experienced life at Wuthering Heights however she is also an educated woman and has lived at Thrush cross Grange. This idea is represented in her having two names, Ellen-her given name and used to show respect, and Neely used by her familiars, whether Nelly is an unbiased narrator and how for her action, as an apparent bystander, affect the other characters are two point of her character discussed by critics.

    Isabella Linton

Hareton Earnshaw 

The son of Hindley and fences, initiatty raised by Nelly but assed over to in effect Joseph and Heathcliff. The former works to instill a sense of pride in Earnshaw heritage, even though Hared has no right to the property associated with it the latter strives to teach him all soar of vulgarities as a way of arranging himself on Harleton’s father, Hindley.
