This imbalance is felt because with Mrs Earnshaws departure‚ Hindley no longer has that "other person" that dislikes Heathcliff as much as he does‚ making him feel lonelier‚ affecting his attitude toward the rest of the family. Mental illness is also a focus in Bloomfield’s criticism bringing Heathcliff to attention as an example.

How does Emily Bronte use Gothic elements to enhance the novel ‘Wuthering Heights’? Discuss how Daphne Du Maurier’s ‘Jamaica Inn’ illuminates this.

It may not be as spontaneous and exhilarating as his counter-part (you know‚ Heathcliff!) but he does represent a part of society that is necessary in Wuthering Heights. Edgar’s tranquility goes hand-in-hand with his well-tempered upper class lifestyle. He’s wealthy and he’s a gentleman! Such a combination. Seer into the past and
