Analysis

The chapter demonstrates that sometimes irrespective of the effort you make one may suffer disappointment. It is essential to adopt a positive attitude to build a new lineage or story as advised by Mrs. Dean. Hindley represents an absolute decision on humiliating and degrading others making them feel less worthy. Life has ups and downs when he loses his wife he becomes uncontrollable and empty. Heathcliff could withstand degradation, violence, and abuses. The loss of the love of his life made him resolute in seeking revenge forgetting to live. The five weeks of transformation implies that Heathcliff now feared to converse with Cathy, trendy clothes put pressure on Heathcliff that he decided to leave. Heathcliff felt terrible every effort he made was found faulty, and worthless. Edgar would even laugh at the color of Heathcliff’s hair.
