Inside the story
Hindley Earnshaw is Catherine's elder brother and the heir to Wuthering Heights. As master of the household, he treats Heathcliff harshly, reducing him to a servant, and is the father of Hareton.
Once active and healthy, grown in manhood sparer and pale, haggard and dissipated, with a violent, dishevelled aspect deepened by drink and despair.
