Wuthering Heights Novel Wuthering Heights My least favourite character in 'Wuthering heights' was Catherine Earnshaw. I did not like her because of her selfishness throughout the novel. She was selfish because she loved Heathcliff but was unable to follow her feelings, due to the fact that he lacked money and wealth. Instead she married Edgar Linton, not because she loved him, but because of his fortune and money and her need to be accepted socially.
