How Does Heathcliff Take Linton?

He couldn't have Catherine so he takes Linton to his home almost like a revenge to take things away from Edgar because Edgar had Heathcliff's true love, Catherine. Heathcliff really didn't want Linton, he took him to just have him and to hurt Edgar.

He later owns Wuthering Heights and resides there with his wife Frances, who suffers from her own mental problems with being so afraid of death. Thrushcross Grange is the house that those with some sort of physical illness reside in. This includes Mr. and Mrs. Linton, their children Edgar and Isabella, Linton Heathcliff, and Cathy. Mr. and Mrs. Linton decide to have Catherine stay with them after she is bitten in the ankle by the dog. During this time, it is believed that they contract the same fever that will later cause Catherine’s death, which ultimately causes their death as well.

The owner of the estate, Mr. Earnshaw, would have him be raised in his family, as if he were his own son. As they age, his siblings only treat him with disrespect and hatred, until Catherine begins to take a liking to them. The two adolescents fall in love, and spend their life in torment because of it; their love is cursed. When the father dies, his biological son, Hindley, inherits Wuthering Heights and the family’s fortune. Heathcliff is then forced to become the family’s servant. Catherine then marries into a family known as the Lintons so she could be a part of a wealthy, civilized family, but she does not realize what this does to Heathcliff. Heathcliff then spends the rest of his days deceptively taking everything away from both the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and becoming the suzerain of both territories and

Another one of the many things Heathcliff wanted was power. He seduced and married Isabella Linton, not out of love, but out of selfish thoughts of abusing her to get revenge against her brother, Edgar because he married Heathcliff’s lover. When Isabella died, Heathcliff’s son Linton was handed over to him; Heathcliff forced Linton to marry Edgar and Catherine’s daughter, Catherine – or Cathy – Linton. When Ellen found letters written between the two, Linton’s letters “rendered natural,

He comes back stronger than ever, yet much weaker. He is richer and able to gain control of Wuthering Heights. He becomes much more powerful although his mind is still stuck on Catherine. He leads young Hareton into hating his father and becoming disrespectful “Who has taught you those fine words, my bairn?” I inquired. -- “The curate?” (Bronte 113). He has Hindley relinquish Wuthering Heights to him and controls everyone there. He even forces Cathy and Linton to marry so that when Linton undoubtedly dies, Heathcliff will be able to take over Thrushcross Grange as

In Wuthering Heights, Brontë presents Linton Heathcliff as arguably one of the most unlikeable, unsympathetic characters of the novel: he is often described as 'peevish', is constantly unwell ('faint-hearted creature') and resorts to fits of coughing when he doesn't get his way. He plays a key role in Heathcliff's revenge plot – marrying Cathy to award Heathcliff control of both Thrushcross Grange and the Heights (although this eventually fails) – and reveals its futility in the mean time. The second generation of the novel offers many parallels, albeit less wild and powerful ones, with the first generation: the second Cathy is a milder, gentler version of her mother and Hareton has a definite likeness to Heathcliff (their degradation, appearance etc. – however their difference lies in Hareton's pivotal capacity for forgiveness); Linton, however, is presented as an even more insufferable, pathetic version of Edgar Linton: he 'might have been taken for [Edgar's] younger brother, so strong was the resemblance'.

Heathcliff overhears this conversation between Nelly and Catherine and leaves Wuthering Heights after hearing Catherine say that it would degrade her to marry him. Heathcliff tries to make himself more presentable to Catherine by moving up the social system. However, he does this by cheating and taking advantage of people. Heathcliff takes advantage of Hindley's state of alcoholism and takes over Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff also takes advantage of Edgar Linton's will my making young Catherine (the daughter of Catherine Earnshaw and Edgar Linton) marry Linton (the son of Heathcliff and Isabella Linton)

Self-Centered. Heathcliff is self-centered, caring for himself and his interests and having little concern for others. This trait is greatly amplified by his love for Catherine and hatred for Mr. Linton. One example of this is when he trapped Cathy and her companion for no less than five days in his house at Wuthering Heights, forcing Cathy to marry Linton (255, 260). “And there I remained enclosed [in a chamber], … [for] Five nights and four days I remained, seeing nobody but Hareton [when he brought food],” shows how little Heathcliff is concerned for others, and how much he cares for his own interests (260). His own self-interest causes him to want control over Thrushcross Grange, as evidenced by the fact Linton will gain control of it after Mr. Linton, who is in poor health, dies if he (Linton) marries Cathy (263). However, Linton was also in poor health and was going to

1) I've no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn't have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am (86). Catherine admits to Ellen that she loves Heathcliff but cannot think of marrying him because he has been degraded by Hindley. Heathcliff hears this speech, and he leaves Wuthering Heights, not to return for three years.

Cathy and Hindley alter him into a vicious, lonely master: ‘“The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don’t turn against him, they crush those beneath them”’. This shows that Heathcliff will not take revenge on Cathy directly, but will hurt those who are close to her. This is because Cathy married Edgar Linton and said that it would degrade her if Heathcliff was her husband. In addition, he will take

He mistreats Linton and it seems as though Heathcliff wants him dead. This is shown by the quote: “His life is not worth a farthing, and I wouldn’t (won’t) spend a farthing on him…” This means that even though his son is dying he doesn’t really care for his life or health. And this is torturing his wife Catherine as well.

Heathcliff’s accusation above is mind blowing. From the youngest of ages, Heathcliff longed to have what Edgar Linton had. This translates to the future when Heathcliff wishes to acquire Catherine, who he loves deeply, and Thrushcross Grange from Mr. Linton

Without the care of their mothers the children find themselves in a fierce struggle for survival against activity hostile adults who seems obsessed with the desire to kill or maim them. The novel plays a multitude of insistent variations of ghastly theme of infanticide. The theme infanticide is amplified symbolically in the course of the novel, the killing of helpless and delicate animals. On one occasion Isabella knocks over Hareton who was hanging a litter of puppies from a chair-back. By hanging her little pet springer, Heathcliff shows Isabella what kind of man he is. To torture to deaths cats whose claws and teeth have been pulled was the favourite game of Linton Heathcliff. In Wuthering Heights, the wild eruptions of cruelty and violence are so vivid that one tends not to notice how frequently pain is inflicted just as a matter of

Catherine was no the only character who married for certain advantages; Heathcliff forces his son Linton to marry Cahterine Linton, so their family could gain control over Thrushcross Grange. Education was also affected by the society, Hindley attended college, while Heathcliff was not allowed to go. Heathcliff was adopted as a young boy, throughout the novel Heathcliff works his way from the bottom to close to the top of social standings.
