In Wuthering Heights, the character, Mr. Heathcliff, proves to be a stubbern man with a stubbern heart. Although his brutality is unquestionably wrong, it is not without reason. Although I do not like the meathods that Heathcliff uses to get things done, and even though his anger goes on an seemingly endless rampage over the smallest of things, I can sympithis with him.
Mr. Heathcliff, even though he was a brute in his manner, had deep and compassionate feelings for Mrs. Linton. With her marrying Mr. Linton, Mr. Heathcliff felt betrayed, and sought to eventually avenge his broken heart.
The thought is what counts

The opinion of the character, Mr. Carton
Where some would see a hero, some would see a cowerd. Where some would see change, others would see pity. These are but only a few of the many opinions derived from the character, Mr. Carton. Is one good deed enough to redeme someone from a lifetime of wickedness? I say, no. My opinion of Mr. Carton and of the path he takes throughout the story is one of pity and my distaste. I see the death of Mr. Carton as a way for him to have his name remembered, since he really accomplished nothing in his earlier years.
