Charles Dickens Great Expectations :: Great Expectations Essays

Charles Dickens Great Expectations When you first meet Heathcliff he is a person that is reticentand difficult to talk to at the age of 8. My impression of him is thathe is real shy. He seems to do whatever any one says, especially his further parents, they have measure control over him, even though hisfoster parents arent really in like manner caring about him. His personality, I recover, seems odd, he is quiet and boring, but as well he has made goodfriends with Cathy and they soon fall in love. solely with everyone elsehe is quiet, and his slaved for work.The kind of life I think he had sooner he came to Wuthering Heights,was that his parents abused him, as he sometimes got into trouble andwas nervy to his parents, but then again I think he was the fictional character whohad no friends, a loner, skilful stayed in his room all the time. I dontthink his parents cared about him, so they fostered him out. Also hecomplained a lot, moaned, just what normal kids do, but his pare ntscouldnt stand it. Now that he has foster parents, I dont think he isthe kid he used to be, his mean foster parents really bully him -because he seems to be doing lots of work where as the other childrenarent, so really they are just picking on him.After Mr Earnshaw died, Hindley decides to recall his old hatred, andhe turns into an evil man. He turns Heathcliff into a labourer on thefarm. His hatred towards Heathcliff grows, and decides to forbid himseeing his loved one Cathy. I dont think this treatment was fair ashe seemed to be nice to Heathcliff and treated him with respect - thereason I think that Hindley headstrong to awaken his hatred and throw itall towards Heathcliff is because Hindley needed someone who was knowby Mr Earnshaw, so it was Heathcliff who was chosen for thispunishment, while Mr Earnshaw was alive, also I think that Hindleywasnt the way he was now is because was scared of Mr Earnshaw andsince Heathcliff is his son he sullen it all on him. But when he diddi e, Hindleys revived hatred seems to bring about him want to own Heathcliff.And he cannot do anything about this treatment, except intent hisrevenge on Hindley.Around Christmas Heathcliff wants to be more responsible, so he triesto not cause trouble, but Edgar is really unfair to him and insultshim inadvertently I wonderment they dont make his head ache.
