Wuthering Heights


            
             The novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte provides a look into a world that is full of selfishness, hatred, greed, vengeance, and misery. This fictional world seems to be, like many would probably say, a small part of our reality. Just like Catherine Linton (Earnshaw), there are many people who only marry someone for their money. This, as we all know, can only bring pain to those around these people. Catherine marrying Edgar Linton caused Heathcliff to become even more devious and spiteful. She did this because she was selfish and greedy, but ultimately she died miserable and without her true love, Heathcliff. Everyone that Catherine had known or was related to was affected by the decisions that she made throughout her entire life. She destroyed any peace that there could have ever been and unknowingly replaced it with hatred and vengeance. So, although these are just characters, their emotions and actions will prove that they could not seem more real.
             There were many characters in this story, but there did not seem to be one that was worthy enough to be the best. Of all the characters, the one closest to being eligible has to be the father of Catherine and Hindley, Mr. Earnshaw. He was kind enough to bring home a lonely, abandoned child, even if that ended up being the worst mistake of his life. This young child was a gypsy, who was later named Heathcliff, who had prevented Mr. Earnshaw from returning with the gifts that the children had asked for. This caused the children to dislike and be rude to Heathcliff, which the master did not like at all. He forced the children to act civil towards the fatherless child in his presence. Even when Hindley hated and refused to be nice, Master Earnshaw still did not get rid of him. So for these reasons, and these reasons only, it is believed that Mr. Earnshaw was the nicest and most generous of everyone.
             Since it was very hard to decide on who the best character was, you can only imagine the agony it is going to take to decide on just one character that was liked the least.
