My Big Question to Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

My original big question as said in my past blogs, is, "Why do we lie to cover ourselves from our own mistakes?" In the case of Wuthering Heights,  Heathcliff especially, there is a lot of lying about the past. Heathcliff lies about his past and his mistakes, all to himself. He refuses to accept knew things and hates anything that reminds him he has to.
When he takes in Catherines daughter, he and her don't get along. I believe this is because she reminded him of the Catherine he once loved. He refused to let go of the past, so it refused to let go of him. He was stuck in this world of revenge and hate, trying to get other people in it as well. Luckily the other characters of this book were smart and didn't fall into the negativity he was spitting at them. Especially the children. They wouldn't take any of his abuse or opinions, proving that being rebellious can be a good thing.
Wuthering Heights had to do with a lot of love and hate, revenge and forgiveness, friends and enemies. And each situation dealt with people trying to save themselves. And in the worst of ways.
