Which character did you pity the most?

I bet u do.

In the novel Wuthering Heights, I pity Heathcliff the most. Ever since the beginning, i felt sorry for him just knowing that he never had a chance with the woman he loved the most. Nothing he could do would make it alright for him and Catherine to be together. What are the odds of your father adopting the man of your dreams? This is why i pity him, it has to be upsetting to know that you can do nothing in you power to get what you want. It must have been even worse seeing her everyday in his life. She was being dangled in front of him, and he couldn't grab her, because they were siblings. Especially when Catherine and Edgar gat together, Heathcliff knows that she likes him back, but she has to go with another man because she has no choice at all. He and Isabella got together though, and some feelings were there, but it wasn't the same. I definately pity Heathcliff the most because of him love problems that he shares with Catherine.

In the novel Wuthering Heights, the character that i pity the most would have to be Heathcliff. He never has the chance to be with the person that he loves the most, Catherine. Ever since Mr. Earnshaw took him in, he started to have feelings for her, and it was the same with catherine, she immediately had feelings for Heathcliff. I just can't imagine being adopted by the father of the woman that you will fall in love with. What ind of fate is that? He couldn't do one thing in his power to be with her forever, because they were somewhat siblings. On top of that, he had to see her everyday of his life, im sure that it hurt knowing that what you wanted was right there, you just couldn't have it. She was being dangled in front of him, and he could't do one thing about it. Then she went and married Edgar, for his money of course, and that must have hurt Heathcliff, the reality was setting in thet there wasn't a chanc e that they could be together. Then he got with Isabella, and there were feelings there, so at least he wasn't left all alone...for too long. I definately pity Heathcliff the most!

The character the most is Edgar because he lost so many people and was treated very badly and lived a lie because his wife was in love with Heathcliff.

:flare: Why do you think violence is an abyss Ethan John? it allows one to concentrate on an objective, then nuetralize it. I know you have to be more logical than that. but violence like all things can be taken too far, but being a little aggro is a'ight with me.

I pity many of the characters in Wuthering Heights, however, I defienty pity Heathcliff the most. He was an orphan and abused by Hindley when brought to Wuthering Heights. He was madly in love with Catherine and could never be with her. After she died he was all alone.

I pity Isabella Linton-Heathcliff the most, due to the abuse she suffered at the hand of her husband. Can u imagine loving someone more than anything or anyone in the world, even yourself, only to have that love returned by being his personal punching bag? Perhaps it is easier for me to sympathise with Isabella, because a friend of mine recently had the courage to end an abusive relationship she had been involved in for about a year and a half. Although I don't know exactly what it was like for her and millions of women enduring the same treatment, it's not hard to imagine their suffering.

One argument given against Isabella in class was "If Heathcliff was going to treat her so bad, why did she marry him? Why didn't she leave sooner?" It's not that simple! When someone is being abused, the abuser tells them things like, "If you leave me, I'll kill you", "I'll kill your family", "I'll tell everyone what a whore you are.", "No one would ever want you. I'm the only one out there who will put up with you." "U'll never survive without me". After hearing these things for so long, the victim begins to believe them. Wouldn't you?

In fact, most abusers show no signs of aggression towards their partners at the beginning. They wait until the relationship becomes more serious, or until they get married, as was Isabella's case. The majority put up a loving, caring respectful front to the rest of the world. It is when no one else is around that they show their true demenor. If you just happened to meet the aformentioned friend's ex-boyfriend on the street, you would have absolutly no clue how appalingly he treated her.

Violence against women is a problem that has existed in society for ages. What makes Isabella's case even more tragic, whereas today's women can seek help at battered women's shelters and similar organizations, is that she had no one to turn to and no where to go. Abuse was the norm and socially acceptable in that time period. Nearly every women would have been a victim of abuse in that time and age; if she had activally sought help, Isabella would have been told to shut up about it, it happens to everyone.

Isabella also had to give birth to the child of her abuser. Even though she fled to London to escape from Heathcliff, she couldn't escape his memory. Her son was with her at all times of the day, a constant reminder of the living hell she endured at Wuthering Heights.

I pity Nelly the most. I sit back sometimes while reading Wuthering Heights and think of all the strife she has seen in her days. She had to keep up with mischevious children. Then when they went insane from all the mishaps they had caused she practically had to "break her back" trying to supply them with what they needed most. It just wasn't one generation she worked with, either. If you think about it Nelly had a long and dulling life throughout Wuthering Heights.

I pity Isabella the most because she thought Heathcliff loved her, and he didn't, but he still married her. Then he uses her only to seek revenge on the Linton family. This would be an awful thing to go through, because she was in love, and Heathcliff wasn't, and she was taken advantage of the rest of her life.

I pity Hindley the most, because once Heathcliff came into the Earnshaw household Hindley was looked down upon in a way. It was as if everyone loved Heathcliff and forgot that Hindley was part of the family. Then later on in the book Hindley allows Heathcliff to return to Wuthering Heights, but afterwards Heathcliff teaches Hareton to swear and curse at his father. And after Hindley dies Heathcliff turns Hareton into his personal little slaveboy. Finally, Hindley loses his loving wife driving him into drinking!

MRS. HICKS....THIS ISN'T MARSHA, IT'S ACTUALLY KATE L. I'M JUST BORROWING HER THINGY BECAUSE MINE WON'T WORK.... :crash:

The character I pity the most would have to be...Hareton. He grew up without a mother, and without a father we should say since his actual father didn't love him or anything. I have a little pity for Hindley, the way his wife died so suddenly, but that gave him no reason what so ever to treat Hareton the way he did. It was his own flesh and blood for pete's sake!! Hareton grew up in a mangy old house with his insane drunken father and a hypocritical old geezer. He had no friends and had never expirienced a good relationship. Heathcliff taught him from a young lad to hate his own father (which he probably didn't need any helping along on that, but still) He just had a horrible life. :( That is why I pity him.

i pity edgar linton the most... he dearly loved and married a woman who loved someone else.

I pity Hareton the most for a variety of reasons. After his father dies Hareton must stay under the control of his uncle Heathcliff who is basically going insane. Hareton has no control over his life and is practically forced to stay with Heathcliff, where he is treated like a slave and is forced to do whatever Heathcliff desires. Heathcliff should be living a life of luxury, with the finest of everything and the best education but instead he is treated like a mere severent. Heathcliff's slow decline into a madman is very obvious and his cruel intentions are taken out on Hareton.

I also pity Edgar because his wife never really loved him.

Daniel, this is an English forum. At least you could try to spell pity correctly.
