Chapters 3-6
In chapter 4, the book is being narrated by someone different. It takes place in an older time when Heathcliff is young boy. At first he is disliked by everybody, but soon after Catherine begins to love him.
“What do you mean?’ asked Heathcliff, ‘and what are you doing? Lie down and finish out the night, since you are here; but, for heaven’s sake! don’t repeat that horrid noise: nothing could excuse it, unless you were having your throat cut! (29)."
Heathcliff had heard the screaming so he went to check on Lockwood. This shows that Heathcliff actually does care about Lockwood. He may act very harsh but he does care.
