I wouldn't call Edgar weak eitherI understand why someone would, but I don't think kindness and morality should be classified as "weak." He may seem weak to someone like Heathcliff and Catherine, but I think, in a way, he's stronger than they'll ever be, because he's able to put his interests aside and show genuine warmth and kindness to others, while hardly losing his temper ever (speaking from just being a live, I don't know how he could stay so composed and even tempered when everything was happening, but I guess it's just his good nature or perhaps the influence of Christianity, since it was a major part of life in those times). Catherine and Heathcliff, on the other hand, can't control themselves or their emotions, while, worst of all, using other, innocent people for their own means.

People really put down Atticus Finch? What? That's crazy! I can't even believe that, you know. I mean, Atticus was not only a great, great father, but he was an exceptionally decent, good man. What an admirable character he was. I can't believe anyone would say anything that ridiculous, thoughactually, maybe I can. People do say stupid things all the time

Cathy: EllenI AM Heathcliff (just the way she delivers the line is wonderful)
Heathcliff: My tears don't love you, Cathy. They blight and curse and damn you!
Heathcliff: Is that all i've become to you? A pair of dirty hands? (I can't think of the rest but when he slaps her and says something else about his hands
I want to be alone. I think I have never been so tired in my life

My favorit quote is when Heathcliff says to Cathy:
"If he loved you will all the power in his soul for a whole lifetime, he couldnt love you as much as I do in a single day.
Not he. Not the world. Not even you Cathy can come between us."
Only Laurence Olivier could say thouse words. -

A few of my fav quotes:
Cathy: I dreamt I went to Heaven, and that Heaven didn't seem to be my home. And I broke my heart with weeping to come back to Earth. And the angels were so angry they flung me out into the middle of the heap, on top of Wuthering Heights. And I woke up sobbing with joy.
Cathy: Everything he's suffered, I've suffered. The little happiness he's ever known, I've had too. Oh, Ellen, if everything in the world died and Heathcliff remained, life would still be full for me.
Also, where Cathy simply says "Forgive me, Heathcliff" when they are at Pennistoncraig (sp??) and both are clinging to each other. Perhaps it's more the way she says it to him that gets me!
