'I began to dislike, more than to compassionate, Linton, and to excuse his father, in some measure, for holding him cheap.'
Ma'am.
MA'AM.
Why are we pretending like you didn't totally see this coming. Everyone saw this coming. The BIRDS saw this coming.
You have TOLD US you think Heathcliff is a scoundrel. Then you send Linton to live with him, Hareton who had his education neglected to the point where he is practically a grown man who cannot read, and Joseph WHO IS JOSEPH.
I have mixed emotions about all of the characters. I love parts of everyone (Including Heathcliff), but Nelly, darling. Please use your head.
