    This passage lays bare Linton’s fragile, petulant nature and his isolation at Wuthering Heights. His feverish appearance, tiresome cough, and irritable complaints reveal both his physical weakness and emotional vulnerability, while his resentment at being confined downstairs underscores his powerlessness in the household. Cathy’s gentle concern contrasts with Nelly’s weary detachment, highlighting the different ways the inhabitants respond to Linton’s suffering. The scene frames Linton as a tragic figure—trapped by his father’s cruelty, neglected by the household staff, and dependent on fleeting moments of kindness from Cathy—foreshadowing his eventual demise as a pawn in Heathcliff’s vengeful scheme.
