Catherine and he became great friends, but Hindley hated him, and was often cruel to him. old Mr Earnshaw was strangely fond of this gipsy child, and frequently punished his son for behaving badly to Heathcliff. Hindly began to be jeaous of his father's feelings for Heathcliff, and saw them both as enemies.
this situation could not last. As Mr Earnshaw grew old and ill, Heathcliff became even more his favorite, and Hindley often quarrelled with his father. when Hindley was sent away to study, I hoped that we would have peace in the house.
