Best Answer

Catherine Earnshaw, who later marries Edgar Linton (becoming Catherine Linton), is a "stormy" character in Wuthering Heights. She is ruled by her emotions and passions and is unsatisfied with her life with Edgar, becoming depressed in her marriage. As a child, she is rough and impetuous and often runs off to create trouble with Heathcliff. She loves Heathcliff, but after becoming ill and spending a few months in the Linton household begins to look down upon Heathcliff. Her "foil"--the character with opposite qualities that magnifies the qualities in both characters--is Edgar's sister, Isabella Linton. Catherine and Edgar have a child named Catherine Linton ("Young Catherine"), who marries Hareton Earnshaw (the son of Catherine's brother, Hindley). Young Catherine is as stubborn as Catherine but gentler (more of a mix between the stormy Catherine and the calm Edgar).
