Crazy Heathcliff
I think Heathcliff took his love of Catherine WAY too far. I understand his anger with Edgar because he essentially "stole" Catherine from her. But he doesn't have to let out his frustration and anger on others who are perfectly innocent and have nothing to do with Edgar and Catherine being together. For example, he was abusive to Isabella, his wife (and it turns out he married her mostly for revenge), he wanted to make sure (young) Catherine and Linton were both unhappy and later, also ensure (young) Catherine and Hareton weren't happy. Heathcliff seems like a seriously twisted guy who takes great pleasure in seeing others suffer the way he suffered.
