Question

Which three parts of this passage from chapter 6 of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights show that Hindley Earnshaw did not care about the well-being of Catherine and Heathcliff after the death of Mr. Earnshaw?

Answer 1

Answer:

In this excerpt from “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Bronte, there are three parts where is clear that Hindley Earnshaw did not care about his sister Catherine and Heathcliff.  

When the narrator says: “the young master being entirely negligent how they behaved” it means that Hindley was not taking proper care of them since the word negligent means to not take proper care over something or someone. Also when the narrator says: “He would not even have seen after their going to church on Sundays” it means that he was not aware of their actions or goings. Finally, when the narrator explains that after not finding the boys “Hindley in a passion told us to bolt the doors, and swore nobody should let them in that night”, proves that Hindley did not care at all about the wellbeing of them.

Answer 2

1. "and there's a lad here," he added making a clutch at me, "who looks an out-and-outer! Very like the robbers were for putting them through the window to open the doors to the gang after all were asleep, that they might murder us at their ease.

2. yet the villian scowls so plainly in his face; would it not be a kindness to the country to hang him at once, before he shows his nature in his acts as well as features?"

3. He's exactly like the son of the fortune-teller that stole my tame pheasant."
