Hindley had already mortgaged all his land to Heathcliff, so after his death, Hareton was the owner of the Heights, but already with a lot of debt The Hareton met by Lockwood in the opening chapters is gruff and uncommunicative and he is easily angered or disturbed by Lockwood's misunderstanding of the household relationships.
Hareton is almost a mirror image of the younger Heathcliff. Instead of growing to hate the man who degrades and deprives him, he loves him, defends him, and laments his death. Hareton understands Heathcliff, because his own experience has allowed him to view the world from Heathcliff's position.
Hareton in the end shows the power of love and kindness and defeats hate and vengeance. Heathcliff teaches him to swear, does not educate him properly and treats him like a servant.
Still Hareton likes him , probably because Heathcliff does not hurt him like Hindley did. Hareton is brought up like a servant, so therefore he is used to being dominated by his first master Heathcliff. He only accepts Cathy as his second master, because he loves her. When Hareton loves someone, he agrees to being dominated by this person. Cathy is the daughter of Edgar and Catherine, who dies at her birth.
She grows up isolated at Thrushcross Grange, almost never leaving the estate as a child. While Hareton is deprived of everything but affection, Cathy is deprived of nothing, even spoiled. Her spirit was high, though not rough, and qualified by a heart, sensitive and lively to excess in its affections. Although her father does not allow her to leave the Grange, she is very curious about the outside world and constantly asks about it. She has the constant care and love of her father and of her nurse Nelly.
And as mentioned by others, later on he saw something in himself within Hareton, around the time when Cathy warmed up to him. He said it wasn't because Hareton resembled his Aunt Catherine although that could've been a factor , but it was more like Hareton's situation mirrored his when he was younger. Heathcliff used to be brutish and Catherine was more refined, which was mirrored by the interactions between Hareton and Cathy.
Perhaps he initially deprived Hareton of care to get back at Hindley, but he soon warmed up to him, or at least grew indifferent to making him suffer. Hareton probably cared about Heathcliff only because he was ignorant of being wronged, and because he was the closest thing he had to a father figure growing up. Kind of like Stockholm Syndrome, if you think about it. Susan G I think Heathcliff had great fondness for him but Heathcliff was only capable of love for "Cathy and Heathcliff", the idea of it anyway.
They were young and he was hurt. Where as most people get hurt and move on he let it consume him. Daniel I see the relation between the two as an ironic example of Stockholm Syndrome and its reverse, for Hareton was, arguably, the only one living whom Heathcliff did not loathe, if not even loved. The irony lies in the origin of his love: Hareton was clearly Heathcliff's own creation; meant to satisfy by his brutish nature the fiend's perverse revenge.
However, he has thus become a mirrored image of the villain in his youth, connecting him, in some sense and to a moderate degree, to humanity. Nevertheless, it was probably not the only reason for this "tenderness", since the lad was Catherine's close relation and bore a resemblance to her, but I prefer the first explanation.
Anju Heathcliff was reminded of himself when he saw Hareton. And as time passed, he looked strikingly similar to his Cathy. That is the reason he had a small affinity towards Hareton, i feel. Isn't it beautiful, how finally Heathcliff got to see Cathy and himself as one?! Melody This answer contains spoilers… view spoiler [I don't think Heathcliff was capable of love. Even his love for Cathy sr. Hareton loved Heathcliff because Heathcliff throughout the book manipulates and uses and abuses people, and I think that Hareton was just someone else he used.
Alessandra Nope, Heathcliff was uncapable of love. Does anyone else see the simularities between Orinoco Womble tidy bag and all Heathcliff doesn't love anyone. A child's love for its abusive father is as irrational as the abuser's need to crush anyone who is smaller or weaker than themselves. Hareton admires what he sees as Heathcliff's strength and purpose, but Heathcliff intends to use him as he uses everyone else who gets within reach--for his own ends.
Gloucester loves Edmund -- he acknowledges that he is his son, which is very scandalous during this time period. Edmund does not love Gloucester, because everything he does in this play negatively affects him, and he gets joy out of it. He deliberately betrayed his father so he could gain his title, and he let it go about harsh measures. Rochester and Jane Mr. Rochester can finally be in the relationship he always desired, but at the cost of his hand and eyesight; adding even more to his suffering, but at least now he has his true love to be by his side.
John Rivers, and Edward Rochester endure suffering caused from society and the family power structures. Although males during the Victorian era, and especially these three men, were exhibited as having power and or wealth, they had a flaw that caused them to suffer in some shape or form. John Reed ultimately dying, St. John moves to India and essentially has a loveless and delusional attitude towards life, in addition Mr. Rochester and the new Mrs.
Rochester are united and become equals. Orwell, George. Heathcliff involving Hindley in gambling overloads him in debt. In order to pay it off Hindley must mortgage the estate making Heathcliff the new own The outcome of his retaliation took a massive toll on the first generation and part of the second. However, when his pride becomes blinding, Brother forces Doodle beyond his limits and is forced to accept the consequences. Though loved by his brother, Doodle becomes an innocent victim of selfishness and pride.
Because he has never experienced love himself, readers do not know for sure of Hareton's capacity for it; however, his pairing with Cathy at the end of Wuthering Heights seems to suggest what Heathcliff may have been like under different circumstances.
Previous Cathy Linton. Next Ellen Nelly Dean.
