![]() Heathcliff was a strange, silent boy, who appeared not to mind the blows he received from Hindley, although he was in fact very vindictive. Hindley bullied Heathcliff when he could, and Heathcliff used his influence over Earnshaw to get his way. Hindley in particular felt as though Heathcliff had supplanted him, although he was several years older and the true son and heir. All the other members of the household were opposed to the introduction of a strange boy, except for Catherine, who was a little younger than Heathcliff and became fast friends with him. Earnshaw named the boy Heathcliff after a son of his who had died. He found there a little boy who looked like a gypsy who had apparently been abandoned on the streets, and brought the child home with him, to join his own family of his wife, his son Hindley, his daughter Catherine, a manservant named Joseph, and Ellen, who was very young at the time and working as a maid. In around 1760, a gentleman-farmer named Earnshaw went from his farm, Wuthering Heights, to Liverpool on a business trip. ![]()
