Step-by-step explanation:

Hindley is one of the most despicable characters of the novel. He has very few redeeming qualities, and is extremely unlikable. He has treated Heathcliff badly throughout his whole life. However, his turning point comes when his wife dies, which he takes as a license to become even more tyrannical.

Lockwood claims that he has come to Thrushcross Grange in order to find peace and solitude. However, this is far from what he will actually encounter.

After Hindley comes home drunk, he drops Hareton from the top of the stairs. Luckily, Heathcliff is able to catch him, saving his life.

Cathy and Hareton offer an alternative to the brutal and wild relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff. Although they love each other as well, their relationship is less turbulent and more peaceful.
