What is wuthering heights edgar?

Edgar Linton is one of the main characters in Emily Bronte's novel, Wuthering Heights. He is described as a gentle, kind, and refined young man, who lives at Thrushcross Grange, a neighboring estate of Wuthering Heights.

Edgar is introduced as the love interest of Catherine Earnshaw, one of the protagonists in the novel. Catherine and Edgar are childhood friends, and as they grow older, their relationship turns into a romantic one. However, Catherine's love for the wild and tempestuous Heathcliff causes her to reject Edgar's proposal of marriage.

Despite Catherine's rejection, Edgar remains in love with her and eventually marries her, hoping that she will reciprocate his feelings. Their marriage, however, is a troubled one, marred by Catherine's lack of affection for Edgar and her continued loyalty to Heathcliff.

Despite his gentle and kind nature, Edgar is ultimately unable to save Catherine from her tragic fate. He dies of illness shortly after Catherine's death, leaving their daughter, Cathy, to be raised by Heathcliff. Edgar's character serves as a foil to the passionate and vengeful Heathcliff, highlighting the contrast between the refined and civilized world of Thrushcross Grange and the rough and violent world of Wuthering Heights.
