"Why do you also think Rebecca when she was cursed and attacking everyone told Hayley that she breaks Elijah heart everyday he sees her with Jackson."

Heathcliff is a victim of class hatred but he also manipulates situations to his advantage and becomes an arch - exploiter. For example, after the death of his wife, Hindley went insane. Heathcliff used this opportunity to take revenge and took Wuthering Heights away from Hindley. He then went further and married Edgar’s sister, not for love or monetary gain but to get back at Edgar for marrying Catherine, and treated Edgar’s sister terribly.

In the story Snow White , the huntsman is ordered to kill Snow White, but instead he tries to help her escape from the queen’s envy, the reason for this being “Because she was so beautiful, the huntsman took pity on her…”(Grimm 1). Zeena, the evil witch in Ethan Frome, tries to get rid of Mattie because she is jealous of her. Ethan tries to help Mattie, like the huntsman, by attempting to convince Zeena to let her stay. However, Zeena refuses, using her health as an excuse. The Elizabeth Ammons essay about Ethan Frome’s fairy tale similarities states how Ethan takes pride in subduing Mattie when she is frightened, almost like how the huntsman subdued Snow White’s fear by letting her live. Ethan begins to show his prince-like properties when he falls in love with Mattie Silver, similar to the prince in the beginning of the movie Snow White. He often expresses his hopes to run away with Mattie, but sadly never receives the happy ending that he had hoped for. Ethan makes an attempt at a solution when he and Mattie make the decision to go sledding into an elm tree together. Unlike the prince in the story, Ethan never gets to be with Mattie, and only makes things worse when the injuries sustained from the crash changed Mattie’s personality

The relationship between Heathcliff and Hindley revealed and developed the abusive nature of Heathcliff. Heathcliff was taken in as a young boy into a wealthy family that had two children. Ever since the day he was brought home the eldest son, Hindley, resented how the father favored him more. For example, Heathcliff threatened to tell their father if Hindley did not let him have his horse. This one childish threat had created the foundation of the resentment between the two men. Heathcliff threatened to tell their father that Hindley was making him feel unwelcome and abused emotionally, Hindley decided to not see if Heathcliff was going to follow through with the threat therefore gave him the horse. Later on through life, once the father dies, Hindley decides to take his absence as an excuse to start really physically abusing Heathcliff. He would beat him and punch him without thought of how this would transfer into the rest of his life. Heathcliff was also verbally assaulted by Hindley which is a twist on the traditional sense of cruelty. Hindley is demeaning towards Heathcliff and calls him a slave and make sure that he know that he is not equal with himself or his sister Catherine. This point planted the seed of doubt and not being good enough for the rest of his life. This continual mental assault forged the mindset of little Heathcliff to how he would exact revenge on Hindley for all of his wrongdoings. This cruelty from Hindley was due to the favoritism that Heathcliff received as a child, the death of his father, the death of his wife, and the constant reminder of his wife through his son. The constant cruelty is the motive for Heathcliff's actions once he returns to the Heights. Through baiting Hindley, in his own personal torment from his wife's passing, all the money and possessions are gambled away with Heathcliff as the new owner. Wuthering Heights itself

As a consequence of Heathcliff's visit to the Grange, Edgar's sister Isabella falls in love with him, and her feelings seem to be sincere. In this one-sided love affair Heathcliff takes advantage of the innocent girl's infatuation to foster his obsession for revenge. (Isabella is her brother's heir). Catherine's reaction is very hard to interpret. It is natural that she is jealous, if she still feels the same for him as before, and that may be the reason why she dissuades Isabella from marrying Heathcliff. But the words she uses, telling her what an abominable creature Heathcliff is, are not the sort you expect to hear from someone talking of a sweetheart. Later on when her husband and Heathcliff are having a quarrel, she stops Edgar from hurting her friend . There is an excess of emotion, and her explanation to this behaviour is that she wants them both, Edgar and Heathcliff: "Well, if I cannot keep Heathcliff for my friend - if Edgar will be mean and jealous, I'll try to break their hearts by breaking my own" (109).Her love for Heathcliff has not cooled down, instead it seems to be a stronger obsession than ever considering the torments she goes through, when she becomes seriously ill.The last time Catherine and Heathcliff see each other is a very heart-rending meeting. Their love for each other is as strong as ever, and Heathcliff

Brontë shows how cruelty passes through generations through Hindley’s mistreatment towards Heathcliff. From the moment Mr. Earnshaw adopts Heathcliff, Hindley enters a state of melancholy and loathes that his father clearly favors Heathcliff over him. Mr. Earnshaw’s adoption of Heathcliff upsets Hindley, his father clearly favors Heathcliff over him. Consequently, Hindley reciprocates this hatred when he meets Heathcliff, comparing him to satan and wishing for his death. Heathcliff, unable to act against these cruel words, silently absorbs them. This interaction reveals traits of each character: the maliciousness of Hindley’s character, who hates on the young Heathcliff without reason; and the timidity of Heathcliff, fostered by his inability to stand up for himself. Although timid at the moment, Heathcliff assimilates this cruelty so that he can inflict it upon others, just as Hindley does the same to him. This depicts how the victim of suffering develops into the bearer of cruelty. Soon after Mr. Earnshaw’s death, Hindley assumes control of his household and unleashes even more cruelty on Heathcliff. In a fit of

Catherine returns to Wuthering Heights, she is barely recognizable. Hindley, treating Heathcliff as a servant, allows Catherine's playmate to step forward to greet her when she arrives. Catherine kisses Heathcliff, but while doing so, she comments upon his dirty appearance and compares him unfavorably to Edgar. Heathcliff is hurt by the changes in his friend's appearance and attitude.

Frances enjoyed having a sister, but after all that, she started getting irritated by everyone’s flaws. When Frances changed, Hindley started to abuse his power. If Frances pointed out one flaw of Heathcliff, all the anger that was built up from the time his father had brought him in bursted out (46). The anger that started with Heathcliff was then used against everyone else. The house was then ruled with tyranny and all of the servants employed had left except for Ellen and Joseph because they understood where this behavior was coming from (65). This point is significant to earn an understanding of the novel since his hatred for Heathcliff causes him to act more despicable then he usually would have. So much hatred was built for Heathcliff

Her every need is taken care of. Later, when she is confronted by Heathcliff, she is reminded of Wuthering Heights and begins to miss the place she once was so eager to leave. Catherine begins to see the Grange as superficial and confining, and at first she is only annoyed by this, but eventually the suffocating enclosure causes Catherine to lash out at her husband and all the Grange represents. Catherine, aware of her incestuous attraction to Heathcliff, believes the Grange is destroying her, and because of her disgust of the Grange and her sense of guilt, it does. In the process, Edgar too must suffer Catherine's pain because of his love for her.

Darcy’s ideal is to gain Elizabeth’s affection; therefore, he begins to find ways to distinguish a not so “cruel” character. Darcy becomes more loveable when he writes his letter to Elizabeth about the truth of his life situations with Wickham; however he is also seen to ripen when paying the dowry for Mr. Bingley when Elizabeth’s younger sister runs off with Wickham. Evidentially, Heathcliff and Darcy are no big comparison; however, Heathcliff’s love for Catherine was outstanding. His ideal holding was the grudge he had toward the Earnshaws, especially Hindley for not being allowed to be with Catherine. He seemed to have a very strategic plan on getting revenge on the Lintons, Earnshaws, and especially Hindley. Heathcliff was always seen as the outcast and was not payed much attention to, as he became older his affection towards Catherine grew, causing him to want to prove his social status in Wuthering Heights.

Hindley, who had been cast into the shadows by his adopted brother, had always been filled with rage and had developed a greed for vengeance against his family. He had no allies of his opinions on Heathcliff ever since his mother’s death and was disfavored by his father, “his oppressor rather than a friend.”(37) His bitterness only grew as his dear sister became fond of his step brother and soon Hindley was sent off to college. As head of the house after his father’s death, Hindley has now taken the place of the “oppressor” towards his family and staff. He caused a great deal of misfortune upon Heathcliff and had taken away his “privileges.” Wuthering Heights gathers a new meaning through Hindley’s progression which is solely driven by malicious

Heathcliff’s loathing feelings against Hindley even last long after Hindley’s death. Heathcliff has created a demonic reality in which his mistreatment of Hereton will enable him to gain revenge against Hindley. Heathcliff also maintains his revenge by becoming extremely possessive of the Heights. Heathcliff’s vicious watch dogs ensure the security of the Heights because maintaining complete control of the Heights continues his revenge against Hindley.

Hindley and Mr. Linton fear Heathcliff’s malevolence and violence, trying to avoid him as much as possible because of it. Mr. Linton forbids his daughter, Cathy, from visiting Wuthering Heights because he does not want Heathcliff to hurt or harm her. Hindley attempted to murder Heathcliff because of his malevolence (167). Heathcliff’s malevolence may be a symptom of his grief after Catherine died. Catherine was his only and true love, and her death may have caused him to become slightly crazy.

Hindley hated him”’. This shows that Mrs. Earnshaw neglects Heathcliff, not loving him as much as her other children. Hindley hates Heathcliff and therefore abuses him, making him a victim. However, Mr. Earnshaw loves Heathcliff, and along with Hindley and Mrs. Earnshaw, makes him into a loved and neglected victim.
