Heathcliff caused much competition between family member's in Wuthering Hieghts. Heathcliff created a power struggle between Catherine and her father. "showing how her pretended insolence, which he thought real, had more power over Heathcliff than his kindness: how the boy would do her bidding in anything, and his only when it suited her inclination". In this quotation we can observe that Catherine's rather sadistic manipulative power over Heathcliff frustrates Mr Earnshaw in that he cannot understand how his kindness is meaningless to Heathcliff whilst Catherine's cruelty is so productive in catching Heathcliff's attention. What's more Heathcliff's presence brings immense jealously to Edgar and frequently causes competition and conflict between the two. This in turn results in Edgar and his fathers relationship diminishing as a result of the latter, in his advancing old age, believing everyone in the house to hate Heathcliff purely to spite him. This of course is paranoia and does not aid Heathcliff's situation as an outsider. I hope that this helps a little bit.
