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.

What true about relationships?

Relationships involve two or more people. In the truest sense, "relationships" can include those between family members, friends, or acquaintances. "Romantic relationships" typically mean "between two unrelated persons". Marriage expands "relationship" because it includes many levels of relationship. Relationship typically involves communication between or among the persons who "relate" in the relationship(s). Lack of communication can extinguish (end) relationships between or among parties, whether in dating, marriage, or among members of a group or community. Relationships may be desirable or undesirable. Relationships may be unilateral or reciprocal. Reciprocal relationships are often symbiotic (one needs what the other has). Unilateral relationships do not survive and are often short-lived. A symbiotic relationship may also be short-lived, having served a purpose at one time but not at another time. In non-related relationships, the symbiosis may have broken down or become unneeded when (1) communication is lacking or non-existent or (2) when the "need" one party has can be fulfilled by someone else or be fulfilled internally. For example, many girls settle for the wrong males because of low self-esteem and the feeling that they are unworthy; the relationships often end when the girls gain more self-confidence.
