and humanity. Catherine is well aware of the monstrous nature of Heathcliff. That is why she tries to discourage Isabella from continuing to be in love with him. She says that he is a person without any refinement and without any human feelings. Isabella does not, of course, pay any heed to Catherine’s advice. The result is that when Catherine learns that Heathcliff had kissed Isabella, she feels indignant and has a quarrel with him. Then an angry scene between Edgar and Heathcliff makes her even

‘Edward II plantagenet King of England, Whose incompetence and distaste for government finally led to His deposition and murder.’ The Elizabethan drama, Christopher Marlowe’s, Edward the Second is, according to Aristotle’s definition of the word, a tragedy. That is to say it concerns the fall of a great man because of a mistake he has made or a flaw in his character. During this essay I will demonstrate how this definition of tragedy applies to Edward II. Edward II was king of England, and

Isabella is introduced as a saintly and virginal figure, fully devoted to becoming a Saint Clare, where her occupation and means will soon be derived from her eternal virginity. Her isolated existence is only emphasized by the sexual deviance that she’s been sheltered from, such as Mistress Overdone’s brothel, her brother’s supposed scandal, and eventually Angelo’s creepy sexual desires for her. Many critics might find it strange, even prudish, that Isabella has confined herself

her calmer father, Edgar, and her more fiery mother, Catherine. She shows both these personalities, but she limits each to the correct time and circumstance. Also, the same goes for Linton Heathcliff, who has become a mixture of both his mother, Isabella, and his father, Heathcliff. Lastly, this is shown in Hareton Earnshaw, who, because he has little to no relationship with his biological parents, has turned into a man more

When Heathcliff was young he was in the very very low class. When Heathcliff a young boy he was very unclean, not very mannered, did not dress properly, and did not behave to anyone. When Heathcliff got a little bit older he started to be in the middle and low class he switched back and forth between the two classes. Then when Frances died Hindley got very depressed and started to drink tell dusk till dawn, so he was a very bad alcoholic. Then Heatcliff ran off because he over heard Catherine and

good amount of torment at the hands of Heathcliff, Isabella decides to flee to London where she raises their child, Linton, for about a decade. In doing this Isabella prevents, or rather prolongs, any harm Heathcliff could do to the child. Moreover, prior to Isabella running away with Heathcliff, Catherine warns her about his questionable morality to which Isabella denies and claims, “I love him more than ever you loved Edgar…” (102). Here, Isabella is essentially defending herself and not letting

In Heathcliff’s relationship with Isabella he can be seen showing the same abuse towards her, Heathcliff seized, and thrust Isabella from the room; and returned muttering—"I have no pity!

Upon his return (two years later), Heathcliff marries Isabella to get back at Catherine, and her speech about how marrying him would degrade her.
