Best Answer

Heathcliff views Linton as his property due to a desire for power and control. Linton's weak and submissive nature makes him easy to manipulate, allowing Heathcliff to exert authority over him as a way to further his own interests and seek revenge on the Earnshaw family. Heathcliff's possessiveness towards Linton reflects his overall need to dominate and manipulate those around him.

Was heathcliff eager to be a good father to linton?

I would say no because if he wanted to be a good father, he would shower him with affection, love and acceptance. The only reason he tolerated Linton is because he wanted Linton to survive until he married Catherine, which would make Heathcliff in control of her land when Linton finally died. This was all part of Heathcliff's plan of vengeance to the Earnshaws.
