WUTHERING HEIGHTS (CHAPTER 20)

Nelly takes Linton to his father. Because his mother never mentioned his father, Linton is surprised and confused. Linton is full of questions about his father, questions Nelly answers reluctantly.
They get off to a rough start, with Heathcliff making comments about his son's appearance. He announces that the only reason he will put up with his son is that he is the heir to everything – including Thrushcross Grange. As Nelly leaves the Heights, she hears Linton crying out, begging not to be left behind

QOC:
"Hallo, Nelly!" Heathcliff cries. "I feared I should have to come down and fetch my property myself" . That "property,"

In contrast to Edgar Heathcliff has no benvolent feelings towars Linton even though the boy is his biological osn. Heathcliff his become consumed by his need for revenge. To the point he his forgotten how he felt once as a lost innocent child in search of love , his attitude to his son , not only shocks the audience but leads us to question the mentaility of Heathcliff , and love itself , does it makes us so infactuatued we lose our minds.
