2.1.Heathcliff’snaturalkindnessandlove

HeathcliffwaslikeablankpaperwhenhewasfirstlybroughttoWutheringHeights,Hewaspureandonlyhadhisnaturalideology.Whenhewasinanewplace,

hefeltstrangeandkeptsilent.Gradually,therewassomethingappearedinthisblankpaper.InfluencedbykindheartedMr.Earnshaw,hisnaturalkindnesswasstimulated.WhenMr.Earnshawdied,Heathcliffwasdesperatelygrievedandsetupaheart-breakingcry.Fromthatwecanseehisnaturalkindness.

Heathcliffalsohadstrongloveinhisheart.It’sakindofnaturalandpurelove.HelovedCatherinemorethanhimself.HislovetoCatherinewasfaithfulandlong-lasting.WhenCatherinewasengagedwithEdgarLinton,heleftWutheringHeights.HehadneverleftWutheringHeightsbeforeforanyreason,evenwhenHindleytreatedhimverybadly.WhenhereturnedWutheringHeightswithmoneyandpower,hestilllovedCatherine.HishappinesscouldonlybegainedfromCatherine’slove.Hetookrevengeonpeoplewhohadmistreatedhimandgotwhathewanted,buthedidn’tfeelhappy,becausehemissedCatherine.Atlast,hecommitted

suicidewithadreamtomeetCatherine.It’sobviousthathisloveforCatherinewasverystrong.

2.2.Heathcliff’scruelty,selfishandhatred

HeathclifflovedCatherinesomuchthatheshouldhavetriedhisbesttomakehisbelovedCatherinehappy.However,hisvengefulmachinationsdrovehimcruelandmadehisheartfullofhatred.Hechangedhisstrongbutfrustratedlovetocruelty.Whenhebecameapowerful,fierceandcruelman,heacquiredafortuneandusedhisextraordinarypowersofwilltoacquirebothWutheringHeightsandThrushcrossGrange,theestateofEdgarLinton.HekilledHindleyandalsotookrevengeonCatherine,Hareton,CathyandLinton.HelovedCatherinesomuch,buthedidn’tthinkforher,insteadhemadeherheartbroken.Soheisalsoveryselfish.HeabusedIsabellawhowasthesister-in-lawofCatherinejusttowinThrushcrossGrange.

SoHeathcliffhimselfwasacontradiction.Hehadnaturalkindness,buthebecameverycruelwhenhereturnedWutheringHeightsandstartedtakingrevengeonothers;Hehadstrongloveinheart,andhelovedCatherinemorethanhimself,buthedidn’tthinkforCatherine’slife,andmadeCatherineheartbroken.Hisheartwasfull
