His temperament and antisocial tendencies His extreme religious devotion His unknown origins and his appearance His promiscuous attitude with all the female servants Correct Wrong His origins and appearance. Heathcliff's status as an orphan makes him the ultimate outcast, and it does not help that he doesn’t look anything like the other characters. 2. How are Cathy and Heathcliff the same? They are both orphans and outcasts They’re both willful and temperamental They are both masters of their domain and rule over the servants They are nurturing individuals Correct Wrong They both have a willful, temperamental personality. Cathy is likened to thorns, while Heathcliff is described as "rocks underneath the surface." Neither is a particularly good person nor a likable character. 3. Why does Heathcliff marry Isabella? It’s all part of his revenge plan He had impregnated her She had nursed him back to health when he had fallen ill She showed him gentleness when all Cathy did was show him scorn Correct Wrong By marrying Isabella, he is exacting revenge on Edgar Linton. Heathcliff plans to gain control of Isabella’s money and subsequent inheritance of Thrushcross Grange. 4. Why are the Lintons equated to honeysuckles? Because honeysuckles perish easily Because they’re cultivated but weak Because they’re refined and gracious Because their vines smother everything Correct Wrong They are described as honeysuckles in contrast to Cathy being described as a thorn.
