Healthcliff’s character is very ambiguous. We aren’t sure, well I’m not sure, if he is good or bad? There are some things Healthcliff says or does that seem good and some actions that seem bad. At first he seems like an awful person, he isn’t very friendly and he is not a good host. He leaves the new guy in a room full of vicious dogs, then he was going to let Lockwood walk home alone in the middle of a blizzard. How does that? But then we hear his back story and how he was an orphan taken in and who the brother didn’t accept him. Does are feeling change of Healthcliff? He fell in love with Catherine but was then treated like a slave. His life gets worse and worse, and then he hears Catherine talk bad about him. Now after so many years he has comeback all sparkled and polish with a new found fortune, but why has he come back? He takes his angry and revenge out on Isabelle. How sinister can one man be?
Do we feel pity for him because of the situation he grew up in? Do we feel sorry for him because he lost his love? Is he the bad guy or just misunderstood?
