    This passage exposes Heathcliff’s sadistic triumph over Hindley, as he relishes Hareton’s loyalty and imagines the dead man’s fury at his son defending his abuser. His “fiendish laugh” underscores his cruel satisfaction in breaking the Earnshaw legacy, while Linton’s restlessness and longing for Cathy reveal his own vulnerability. Heathcliff’s abrupt, false heartiness in urging Linton to follow Cathy masks his manipulative intent—he uses his son to further his schemes against the Lintons. The scene highlights the novel’s cycle of cruelty: Heathcliff’s vengeance poisons the next generation, turning Hareton into a loyal pawn and Linton into a fragile tool of his father’s rage.
