Because of his innocence and kindhearted, he gains Catherine’s love gradually, who dislikes him at the beginning. Fourth, he is ambitious. He has his own dream as others, that is, he desires to be a handsome, rich, elegant and civilized person. When he sees the bright and graceful Catherine go home from Thrushcross Grange, he tells Nelly: “make me decent, I am going to be good.” “I wish I had light hair and a fair skin, and was dressed and behaved as well, and had a chance of being as rich as he will be”(Bronte, 2003:6768). Although the author did not tell readers clearly what merits does Heathcliff possess, yet the author hinted that Heathcliff is a youth who has many merits of human nature through other people’ love and care to him. Since Mr. Earnshaw loves him more than his own son, Heathcliff must have many merits that attract Mr. Earnshaw’s attention. The elements for the formation of his personalityWhen Heathcliff es to Wuthering Heights in the first place, he is not weled. Almost everyone has an aversion to him, especially, Hindley. Just as Nelly’s words“His treatment of the latter (Heathcliff) was enough to make a fiend of a saint” (Bronte, 2003:81). However poor the condition is, his humanity is not destroyed totally. What keeps him a good boy? It is love. It is Mr. Earnshaw’s and Catherine’s love that supports him to go through. Mr. Earnshaw’s fatherly love to himOn the one hand, Mr. Earnshaw treats him better than his own children. Mr. Earnshaw“took to Heathcliff strangely, believing all he said, and petting him up far above Cathy” (Bronte, 2003:44). He knows his position in Earnshaw’s heart, because of Mr. Earnshaw’s love, “he had only to speak and all the house would be obliged to bend to his wishes” (Bronte, 2003:45). However, he never makes trouble to Mr. Earnshaw in return for Mr. Earnshaw’s love. Therefore, when Hindley bullies him, he always endures the pain and humiliation silently and never tells it to . Because he is a waif and never enjoys parents’ love, so he regards Mr. Earnshaw’s love as bliss and treasure it very much. He is not willing to destroy it, so no matter how Hindley ill treats him, he will let everything go and be tolerant. Catherine’s love to himOn the other hand, after Mr. Earnshaw’s death, it is Catherine’s love that gives him strength to endure the humiliation from others. Catherine is a headstrong, mischievous and wayward girl. Even though she dislikes him at the beginning, because they have something in mon in their nature, Catherine loves him gradually and has a good relationship with him. So, after Mr. Earnshaw dies, Catherine bees to be the only spiritual support for him to live. “She was much too fond of Heathcliff. The greatest punishment we could invent for her was to keep her separate from him: yet she got chided more than any of us on his account” (Bronte, 2003: 50). It shows that she loves Heathcliff heartily and they have been indivisible. When Mr. Earnshaw is alive, it is Catherine who forts and plays with Heathcliff as he is bullied by Hindley. When Mr. Earnshaw is dead, Hindley degrades him into a servant and maltreats him by all means。 it is Catherine who helps him with doing work and plays with him in field, meanwhile, teaches him what she learnt. “It was one of their amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all the day and the after punishment grew a mere thing to laugh at.” “Joseph might thrash Heathcliff till his
