    Many of us know that  Heathcliff's intrusion into the family and his ability to "capture" Mr. Earnshaw's affection and attention was the source of Hindley's complex and inner conflict. But the dark-tanned boy was inocent... he was irresistible...even for the wild and independent Catherine. He became her metaphorical "whip" for the society, household rules and traditions. Hindley is guilty indeed,but, at the same time ,we may consider his hate and rejection toward Heathcliff as a means of family and self- protection. Maybe his intuition would have worked out the gloomy future as well as the irrefutable disaster !
