Catherine (older)

She is the heroine one would say even though I feel as if everybody in this book is rather malevolent. A list of her characteristics:

• Heathcliff's love and heroine of the story
• she dies part of the way through the book
• Her character, both alive and dead, haunts Heathcliff.
• She is free-spirited and beautiful, but can also be spiteful and arrogant.
• Growing up alongside Heathcliff, their love is more like that of twins than lovers, and she marrieds Edgar because of his position and breeding. 
• Known as Catherine Linton after marriage.
