Hindley

Ok, I know he isn't really a main character, but he deserves word or two about him. I'll keep this short.

Hindley is Cathy's brother, and he abolutely hates Heathcliff with all his heart. He beats him up and abuses him as kids, makes him a servant after he returns from college, and refuses to let him hang out with Catherine in the same breath. He also married a girl while away and came back with her to the surprise of everyone. She had a kid with him but she died in childbirth. Hindley was heartbroken and never really was all that fond of his son, Hareton (who really isn't nice at all and has followed in Heathcliff's footsteps, being quite the nasty boy. He once tried to hang puppies). After that he became a terrible alcoholic, drank like crazy every day for the rest of his life, and started trying to kill Heathcliff when he came back. He failed (duh) and Heathcliff in turn beat him up until he was almost dead. But he didn't die then, and instead waited six months to do so in his sleep at an old, old, old, old age.
Drunk, of course. Sigh.

Anyway, I really never liked him because he was so cruel to Heathcliff (whom I still feel bad for, even if he is nasty) and never treated his son right, what with being drunk the whole time. Oh, well. That's about it on the subject of Hindley. Thanks for reading.
Ciao for now,
