differences in character development through their emotions. Starting off with Cathy and Hareton, they are characterized through the use of many emotions to become the “whole person.” Although Cathy initially ridiculed Hareton’s illiteracy, she grew to show acceptance and adoration within his character. She did this by teaching Hareton how to read and then becomes whole by having intellect, (W 221). This is important in the novel because without emotions, a person is considered to be inhumane, but Cathy disproves this by being whole.

Before becoming ill, Cathy resembles her love and hope for his return by stating that she is Heathcliff and by showing emotions that she has always had an interest in him, (W 60).

Overall, these scenes portray romanticism by expressing the characters ways of experiencing and viewing the world through emotional intensity and disp
